LANSING WILL NOT
 ACT AS PRESIDENT
 ON FIFTH OF MARCH
Inauguration Ceremonies Will Be Discussed by Wilson and Democratic Leaders When Hughes Comedies Defeat.
(ey Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. - There will be no lapse in the service of Pres ident Wilson because of the fact that March next. inauguration day. falls on Sunday. according to an opinion reached at the State Department. It became known today that on account of reports that a lapse would occur and that Secretary Lansing would be acting president on March 4, a form letter explaining the law has been prepared at the State DepaI tment to be sent out in answer to inquiries on the question. While 1t is not expect ed that the formal Inauguration of MT. Wilson will be held until Mon day, March 5. he will be adviced by Secretary Lansing to take the oath of office on Sunday.
 If Charles E. Hughes comedies the reelection of President Wilson by next Friday, Vance C. Mccormick, chairman of the Democratic national committee, probably will discuss plans for the PresldentS inauguration with local Democratic leaders. when he comes to Washington On that day. Usually the chairman of the inaugur- al committee which has charge of the parade and other civic ceremonies is selected soon after the election It is taken for granted by officials that the hs 4f 1913, will have no inaugural ball.

Robert Il. Motion, the new principal
Of Tuskegee institute, will carry on
Booker T. Washington's great work in
uplifting the Negro race, DIR. II. b.
Frissell, principal of Hampton insti-
tute and member of the General Edu-
cation board, told the National Educa-
tion association convention at New
York.
Booker Washington's life was dis
tinct victory for the Negro race and
for the ideas for which Hampton
stands" said Doctor Frissell.
washington carried from Hampton
to Alabama strong belief in the
moral value of regular habits of indus
try. At the Tuskegee school Hampton
ideas were reproduced. Throughout
Washington's life he laid emphasis
upon duties rather than upon rights.
While he was sensitive to the injus-
tices which his race suffers, he felt
that the best preventive of injustice
is improvement in physical, mental
and moral conditions. Because of his
real love for men, both white and
black, and because he was able to
render great and valuable service to
both races, Doctor Washington exer-
cised an influence second. perhaps. to
that of no other man in this country.
Robert r. Motion, the new principal
of Tuskegee, who was commandant at
Hampton for many years, like Doctor
Washington. spent part of his boyhood
in an excellent Virginia home, where
he learned to love white people and
believe in their kindly disposition
toward the blacks. This love and faith
he has never lost. Booker T. Wash
ington had certain noteworthy charac-
teristics, possessed also by Robert No
ton, in the production of which Hamp-
ton may at least claim a share-faith,
love, mOdesty and service.
Washington and Motion, carrying
out Hampton's idea of education for
service, believed in the educational
value of daily activities. Both preached
the doctrine of training the hands, the
head and the heart.

New York, Aug. 1.-Charles e.
Hughes outlined in his speech of ac-
ceptance the issues upon which he
will conduct his campaign for the
presidency.
Governors of three states, many
United States senator's, about 100
representatives in Congress, many
delegates to the Republican and Pro
gressive national conventions and
chairmen of the state committees of
both parties witnessed the notifica-
ton ceremonies in Carnegie hall
Senator Warren Harding of Ohio,
who presided at the Chicago conven-
ton, presided at this meeting and de-
livered the notification speech. Mr..
Hughes was the only other speaker
His family and friends occupied two
boxes.
Mr.. Hughes was frequently inter-
rupted by laughter and applause.
After delivering his speech he was
committee and the invited guests to
tne nOtlIlcatlon ceremony.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and Mrs.
Roosevelt were present.
Former President Taft telegraphed
from Canada that he would be unable
to arrive, stating in his telegram to
James B. Reynolds, secretary of the
national committee, that he regretted
that he could not be present at a
speech, an augury of victory"
Mr.. Hughes, in his speech, assailed
the administration for the course it
has pursued with reference to Mexico,
maintenance of American rights dur
Ing the European war, preparedness
and other great questions of the day.
For Firm Policy.
He declared for q new policy of
"firmness and consistency" toward
Mexico, for "the unflinching mainte-
nance of all American rights on land
and sea" and for adequate national
defense-adequate protection on both
our western and eastern coasts"
I'VE denounce all plots and con-
spiracies in the interest of any for
eign nation" Mr.. Hughes said. "Ut-
terly intolerable is the use of our soil
TOR alien intrigues. Every American
must unreservedly condemn them and
support every effort for their suppress
sion"
The nominee assailed the admins
ration for it's direction of diplomatic
Intercourse" from the beginning, de-
claring that where there should have
been conspicuous strength and expert
ness there had been weakness and in
expertness. He cited Santo Domingo
as an instance where appointments
had gone to Deserving Democrats"
and to the failure to continue Ambas-
sador Herrick at his post in Paris as
after the war had started as "a la
mentable sacrifice of international re-
pute."
Favors Woman's Suffrage.
IT indorse the declaration in the
platform in favor of woman's suf-
trage." Mr.. Hughes declared. And he
added, Opposition may delay but in
my judgment cannot defeat this move
ment. 1 favor the vote for women"
