Music as WomdertMI
as Mother LOve

chimes, or the hushed vox humana of
great church organ.
A triumph of musical instrument
making, indeed-this great neaO phono-
graph which voices perfectly the pale,
appealing delicacy of the lullaby, or
soundstruly the bold, ringing imperious-
ness of fanfare of trumpets. But not
in tonal quality alone is the Vocation
phonograph of ne1O and greater power.
As the Vocation gives forth its glories
of music, you may take the Graduola -
the remarkable Vocation expression con-
trol-and by instructive pressure touch
each phrase with tinge of your own
personality impress each tone in the
mould of your own musc-feeling.
This is the real wonder Of the new
phonograph-it gives you all the pleas
ure of listening to glorious music, and
the supreme JOY Of making music-the
prime JOY Of creative musicianship.

WET and low / tenderly
- caressing the spirit like gentle,
~ soft-skinned hand-a fragile, pas
tel-tinted thing of dreams, yet
surging with a wonderment of unques-
tioning love-the lullaby
Perhaps you have sat enthralled as
such fascinating melody glowing with
a strange, an almost celestial beauty
sighed from beneath the bow of master
violinist or breathed softly from the
lips of gifted, confused singer. All
the joy of such an experience you may
have time and time again.
For the Aeolian-V ocalon, the won
derful neaO photograph, searches out
from every record its last subtlety of
sound - finds, even, all the delicate,
elusive harmony of the music of mother
love and gives it back to stir your soul
like the gentle, sweet tone of distant

LAKEWOOD, n. j., Nov. 23.-Charles
T. Hughes, late Republican candidate
for President, has conceded his defeat.
At s.25 last evening Lawrence II. Green,
private secretary TO Mr.. Hughes, filed a
telegram to the White House conveying
TO President Wilson the congratulations
Of Mr. Hughes on the Presidents re-
election
The message was sent after Mr..
Hughes had conferred with William r.
Wilcox. chairman of the Republican
National Committee Mr. Wilcox il
resting here after his campaign labors.
He went to New York early yesterday
and returned here last evening. While
IN New York he conferred with several
members Of the campaign committee OF
the Republican National Committee.
The conference was behind closed
doors. but it is understood only two OF
the members who participated were
in favor OF further delaying the send
ing Of a congratIlatory message.
Those who took part. besides Mr..
Wilcox. were James r. Garfield. OF
Ohio, Republican National Commit
teemen Charles 3. Warren, Of Michi-
gan: John T. King, Of Connecticut.
and Herbert Parsons, of New York;
former United States Senators Theo-
dore e. Burton. of Ohio, and w.
Murray Crane. Of Massachusetts. and
George w. Perkins
California is Conceded.
During the conference telephone
messages were received from Chester
II. Rowell, chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee in California.
Chairman Rowell told Mr.. Wilsox that
with the official count in California
virtually completed there was no in
dication that IT would materially ar
feet the result Chairman Wilcox
on his return here told Mr. Hughes
OF his telephone talks with Mr..
Rowell. and upon receipt of further
report from California through the
New York headquarters Of the Re
publican National Committee after
Mr.. Wilcox had reached Lakewood.
Mr. Hughes decided to admit defeat.
even though the result Of the official
canvass in California had not been
promulgated. Then he directed that
his message of congratulation to
President Wilson be sent.
Friends OF Mr.. Hughes said last
night that for many days he has been
anxious to congratulate the President
on his reelection and that he had
been chafing under the delay I'm count
ing the vote i'm California. AT the same
time Mr.. Hughes felt that in Justice
both 10 the party leaders who had
helped him Loyalty in making the
fight and to the eighteen million
voters of the country. he ought
10 wait the official count because OF
the narrow plurality.
Recount Now Unlikely.
Chairman Wilcox said:
Having conferred by telephone
during the day with the Republican
state Committee ana the Republican
national committee In California,
have been informed the official can
vass of the vote has been so nearly
completed that no change can result
form the few precincts not counted IN
the returns so far compiled.
This means that the majority for
the Wilson electors in California
ranges from 1900 10 $500 votes, and
that this is the final result for which
we have been waiting. So far as any
recount is concerned. the national
