Completes Speaking Tour at St. LOuis-Mission Has Succeeded Beyond His Greatest Hopes
NEW IMPETUS GIVEN
 TO DISCUSSION OF
 NATIONAL DEFENSE
Has Gained Many Converts. Advisers Want Wilson to Make Another Tour and the South Beckons

On Board President Wilson's Spe-
 cIaI, Indianapolis, February 3.--Presi-
 dent Wilson was speeding back to
 Washington tonight convinced that the
 people of the middle west are with
 him on the issue of national defense
 and are prepared to insist that Con-
 Sress take speedy action. He finished his speaking tour in St. Louis today
 and expressed the conviction that his
 mission had succeeded beyond his
 greatest hopes. He will arrive in Washington at 1 p. m. tomorrow.
 When the Presidents train reached In-
 dianapolis at 545 p. m. for five-minute
 stop large crowd greeted him at the
 station. When cries were made for a speech, he appeared on the platform of
 his car and said, Indiana is all right !" The crowd then shouted for Mrs. Wilson, but the President told them she was rest ing Members of the Indiana Democratic club sent her large bunch of American Beauty roses.
 WON MANY CONVERTS
 President Wilson's advisers believe he has explained clearly why he considers immediate preparedness imperative, has won many converts to the movement, and has given new impetus to a discus sion of the cause. From the sympa- thetic attitude of most of his audiences, from the enthusiasm his every appear ance in public has evoked, from the huge crowds which, have greeted him, they have drawn the conclusion that the peo- pie overwhelmingly support his plans at least in tie middle west. The Presidents official family want him to start soon on another tour. Some Of them liken his swing through the mid dle west to an operation not yet com pleted. En route to Washington tonight they looked both south and west for the | setting of his next appearance in the role of champion for national preparedness The south beckoned with many hands. Senators and representatives from most of the southern states already have asked him to include their sections on his next four. To this have been added in- | vitations from many public bodies, with Texas strongly asserting her claims. There is a feeling among some of his most intimate advisers that in choos- ing the scene for his next plea to the people, the President could pay no greater compliment to his own political party than by going into its stronghold
 WEST WANTS HIM
 The west and northwest are hardly less i irsistent that the Presidents next visit shall be to tlsem Minneapolis, St. Paul and Denver have presented claims and it is known that trip to these cities is i receiving careful consideration. It is pos sible that if the. President makes another preparedness tour it may be a combi- nation of the two--a swing to the north

 He had to plunge through wall of flames in the corridor and then groped his way 50 yards to gain safety.
 pr. Clark was burned while attempt ing to obtain his coat from small locker in one of the corridors outside the chamber These lockers were hid- den behind a curtain of smoke
 One of the first men to make his way out of the chamber was Col. oJhn Cur rie, who commanded the Fourteenth regiment of the Canadian first division through the battle of St. Julien, where he was overcome with asphyxiating gas Colonel Currie at once organized into a fire brigade members of the house, telegraph operators and police attendants, who manned several lines of emergency hose. They played streams on the flames but soon were driven back by the terrific heat
 GOVERNOR SEES FIRE
 The flames from the burning Par lament building were seen two miles away at Rideau Hall. the residence of the Duke of Connaught, governor gen eral of Canada The duke summoned his household aides. all of whom are wounded officers invalided from the front, and they motored swiftly into the city, but were unable to give any assistance The governor general sat in his closed car and watched the de- struction of the historic building, the corner stone of which was laid in 1867 by his brother, King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales.

Y % >tion to Remarks of sena- ) gall Inferring That Reed Lacked Patriotism During
 Spanish American War
Rx HIGH w. ROBERTS

l Washington, February Especial. )-The l constant carping critics,' or those who, judging from their perpetual and tire
 less tirades against the foreign policy of l the administration, have been severely | taken to task by Senator Reed, of Mis- | souri. So fearlessly and so bitterly did
 the democrat assail the republican bear | baiters" and "wavers of the bloody
 shirt that the vice president at one I point was compelled to remind the irri- tated statesman that nothing must be 1 said to violate the usages of parliamen : tary debate And, at another moment, it , appeared that a fisticuff was unavoid- able between Senator Reed and Senator | Fall the latter being the most constant | thorn in President Wilson's side on ac- count of his insistence that Mexico be invaded.
 Senator Reeds speech was remarkable and sensational in that he spoke directly of Colonel Roosevelt, and in telling the story of a coward dog whose desire to fight was dependent on his inability to reach an antagonist, rather plainly intimated that the colonel was poser" and a "faker," one who played from the grandstand,, and "one who would plunge the nation into war in order that his political ambitions might be served" l The remarkable incident is herewith recorded:
 MUCH CHEAP POLITICS" MT. Reed: The truth is there is a good deal of cheap politics being played by gentlemen who sit in the grandstand and who say, in effect, that If they were
 captain of the team there would be J nothing but wonderful errorless games, whereas, like most grandstand critics, the probabilities are if they were put into the game they could not catch a ball as big as balloon and could not s'field'' it home in week I I am getting just a little out of patience with constant carping criticism upon the ! one hand because we have insisted too strenuously upon our rights and on the other because we have not with fire and sword enforced our demands It is a very happy thing for this cor~"-y that the extremists to whom I am referring have rot been controlling the destinies of the nation. It is a very fortunate thing that there has been by the Pres- dent a constant and determined insist ence upon the rights of the American republic so that our rights have not been surrendered. It is equally fortunate that hot-headed ambitious demagogue, willing to plunge the country into war in order to further his political fortunes, has not occupied the White House. There are great many valiant men who are brave when they have no opportunity to put their courage to the test of execu- tion. The peaceful banks of Oyster Bay
 are about the safest place in the world from which to issue declaration of war. RECALLING THE COLONEL l make no invidious comparisons when call attention to what almost every
 boy has observed namely, the difference between the ferocity of a dog securely
 chained in his own yard and one that tContinned on Page Ten.a

TELEPHONE OFFICE SWAMPED
BY CALLS TO GET RETURNS

At least 500 extra long distance
telephone calls were sent out of Rich
mond during the election excitement
Most OF these were directed to the
Republican and Democratic headquart
ers at Indianapolis and Cincinnati. and
to the various towns over the Sixth
district.
An unprecedented number of calls
from farmers over the county was re-
ceived.
Through the telephone calls asking
for information, it was learned that
several women in the city bet rather
heavily on the election.
At o'clock Wednesday morning
one we'll known woman called up in
formation and wanted to know if
Wilson we're really elected.
"A woman with whom bet $40 on
Wilson is here trying to collect.
Should I pay it?'
The answer stating that the results
were yet in the balance was the cue
for series of telephone calls from
the woman which came in about every
half hour until Wilson was declared a
winner late last night.
A persons politics could easily be
detected by the way he extended
thanks for the information
When the favorite candidate as in
the lead, there was rising infection
in the voice which said thank you,
but when the tide was going the other
way, well, then the thank you"
could scarcely be heard.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-11-10

Because OF the great interest taken
in election returns. Richmond Home
telephone company was literally
swamped with business Wednesday
and Thursday.
1t was estimated by employees OF
the company today that at least
$500 calls were lost yesterday be,
cause the automatic boards were SO
busy that they could not handle them.
Never before were they so busy.
Calls came in over the special in.
formation telephone Wednesday and
Thursday, day and night, at the rate
of one minute and besides this, at
least 5000 calls concerning the cleo
ton were answered through the regu-
lNr information telephones.
Rush Grows Steadily.
Because of the nice weather and the
many places at which returns were
received in Richmond Tuesday night,
business at the telephone office was
dull. The real rush started Wednes-
day morning and this eliminated In
what might be called triple rush
Thursday because the weather kept
people from getting out to the places
where the election returns were post
ed
Wires to the newspaper offices and
the party headquarters were busy al
most continually while the election
results were in the balance.
IL was found that many people would
call up every source of information
In consecutive order in hore Of Sc.

both states the proposition was de-
feated and the states remain totally
dry.
Mr.. Shumaker points out that when
| the HObson bill for an amendment to
| the Federal constitution for nation
wide prohibition was voted on in the
| House in Congress less than two years
ago there we're only nine dry states in
| the union, but the bill received ma
| jority Of eight votes. But inasmuch as
a measure of that kind requires two
thirds vote to carry. it failed to pass.
Since that time fourteen states have
been added to the dry list, making
twenty-five dry states In all. That is,
fourteen have already been added and
Florida and Utah will be added this
winter.
The nine dry states were Maine,
Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Oklahoma. Kansas, North
Dakota and West Virginia. The Six
teen states that have been or will be
added to make up the list of twenty
five are Virginia, South Carolina. Ala
bama, Arkansas. Iowa, Idaho. Arizona,
Washington, Oregon. Michigan, Ne
UTd6kd, MOutdNd, oOutA AJohOtoy WV
RADIO, Florida and Utah.
Leaders of the Anti-Saloon League.
while they do not assume to claim all
the credit for making these states dry,
point out that that organization has
taken the lead and has been the fed
Grating force that has led the temper
ance people in their fight in all of the
states. The success that they have
met with in these states is one of the
things that leads them to believe that
they will be successful also in Ind
lana.
Control Both Branches
1t has developed that the Republi-
cans will control both branches of
the Indiana legislature this winter.
At first it was thought that the DEM
ocrats would retain control OF the
senate because of the number OF
Democratic follower senators, but
his hope faded out, and it is now ap-
parent that the Republicans will be
in full charge. This will mean that
the speaker of the house will be Rep
ublican, and that the president OF the
senate will be Republican, Edgar
D. Bush, lieutenant governor-elect.
This will be the first time since 1907
that the Republicans have had full
control of the state government, in
GLIDING the Governor and both branch
es of the Legislature.

Even GRAND JURORS
DEMAND RETURNS

Business in Richmond resumed it's
normal trend today after being prac-
tically at standstill Wednesday and
Thursday while the election result
hung in the balance.
School authorities reported that
owing to the interest in the election it
was difficult to carry on class work
In order to keep the Grand Jury
in session at the court house, it was
necessary for. the court bailiff to get
the latest election returns for them
every few minutes.
