CINCINNATI. Ohio, Nov. C.
President Taft Issued the following
statement from bis brother's home
today:
"The returns Insure the election of
Governor Wilson to the Presidency.
This means an early change In the
economic policy in reference to Hie
tariff. If this change can be made
without halting prosperity I sincerely
hope It may be.
"The vote for Mr. Roosevelt, the
third parly candidate, and for Mr.
Debs, the Socialist candidate, is a
warning that their propaganda In
favor of fundamental changes In our
constitutional representative govern
ment has formidable support.
"While the experiment of a change
In the tariff Is being carried out by
the Democratic administration It be
hooves Republicans to gather again
to the party standard and pledge
anew their faith In their parly prin
ciples and to organize again to defend
the. constitutional government hand
ed down to us by our fathers. Wo
must make clear to the young men
of the country who have been weaned
away from sound principles of gov
ernment by promises of reforms. Im
possible of accomplishment by mere
legislation, that patriotism and com
mon sense require them to return to
a support of our constitution. With
out compromising our principles, we
must convince and win hack former
Republicans and we must reinforce
our ranks with constitution loving
Democrats.

With approximately two-thirds of
tho Roseburg vote canvassed and
complete returns from over half of
the outside precincts at hand elec
tion results as to candidates In 'Doug
las County were practically as good
as known at 2:30 o'clock this after
noon. Summarized flgurea at that
hour either assured or Indicated the
election of the candidates listed
above. The equal suffrage and coun
ty high school fund measures ap
peared to be In doubt, but It was pre
dicted that the suffrage bill would
win by not less than 200 when all re
turns were In. The bill for the aboli
tion of capital punishment and the
graduated single tax measure have
been defeated at least 2 to 1. Re
sults on other measures can only be
guessed at.
For President, Wilson seems to
have carried the county by about 300,
with Tuft and Roosevelt In doubt as
to second place. Lane and Selling

ted States Senator, with the Repub
lican candidate In the lead by about

candidate fur Secretary of State, Is
running far ahead of the party ticket.

In the county ticket, the Demo

In the results. Thurman Chaney,
Democratic Incumbent In the school
superintendent's office, was defeated
for re-election by O. C. Brown, Re
publican, whoso majority may reach
800. This party loss Is balanced by
the defeat of County Commissloner
M. R. Rynn, Republican, who will be
succeeded by E. II. Plnkston, Demo
crat. Returns point to a majority
for Plnkston of about 200. The
Democrats have gained one membor
of the Legislature by the apparent
success of Rev. J. K. Howard, of
Glendulo, who was defeated two years
ago. Howard has probably defeated
J. T. ltrldges, of Oakland, who seems
to hnve fared ns iioorly at the hands
of the Republicans as Dr. E. V.
Hoover did nt the hands of the Demo
crats. Howard's colleague in the
Legislature will be B. F. Nichols, Re
publican, of Riddle, who has a big
plurality.
For Slate Senntor, George Neuner,
present Representative, and Repub
