But Predicted to Senator I.ooue Tfitu

Kxeeed His How He In
terpret Victory.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. The Presi
dent waa very cheerful today and told
the newspapermen thet the election
of Mr. Taft wholly carried oui a pro
phecy made by him In a letter written
to Senator H. C. I.ode. of Massachu
setts, dated October 6. 1908. In this
totter the President said:
"Dear Cabot: Phophecy la very bad
until after the event. Nevertheless I
must send vou a line to say that I
think the situation Is steadily Improv
ing In Ohio. East of the Alleshentes
I believe we shall have a larger popu
lar Dluralitv than four years ago1 In
other words, that Taffs plurality will
be greater than mine, and I think that
our electoral vote will be larger east
of the Alleg-henies than four years ago,
because I think the chances slightly
favor us in Maryland, although this
represents a good deal of guess work.
Expected Loss In West.
"West of the Alleghenles I think we
shall see a heavy falling otT In the
majorities as compared with 1904. but
I do not anticipate the loss of any
electoral votes excepting In Missouri
and Nevada, and I am Inclined to think
that we have an even chance of carry
ing Kentucky."
Over 1000 telegrams and many let
ter of congratulation on the result of
the election poured Into the White
House today for Mr. Roosevelt. He
was busy all day reading these mes
sages and dictating replies to them.
No callers were received.
Meaning of Frazzle.
The President said there seemed to be
some doubt throughout the country
regarding the meaning of the word
"frazzle." which he used recently in
referring to the campaign by laying:
"We've got them beaten to a frazzle."
He explained that it was a common
word in the South and he had used it
when he was a boy.
To those who do not know what I
mean by the word 'frazzle.' " said the
President, "the best definition I can
give Is to refer to the election re
turns." Meaning of Victory.
Mr. Roosevelt gave his interpreta
tion of the victory of the Republican
party, when he said to the newspaper
men whom he received in his office:
"This administration has meant a
steady effort and progress whjch
should never be allowed to deviate
Into unwise radicalism, on the one
hand, nor into unwise conservatism on
the other.
"The nomination of Mr. Taft waa a
triumph over reactionary conservatism
and his election was a triumph over
unwise and improper radicalism."

NEW YORK. Nov. 4. Ieclartng that

extensive plans to advance the party
interest during the next four years, ilr.
Mark's statement in full follows:
"There is not much for me to say, and
no apologies to make relative to the vic
tory of the Republican party. Mr. Bryan
made the most magnificent fight ever
wagfd by a candidate. The party waa
made the victim of misrepresentation a
misrepresentation that Democratic suc
cess would retard the business Interests
of the country- That was. of course, an
argument without foundation.
Notwithstanding yesterday's defeat,
the Democratic party stands more united
today than it has In many years, and in
this union lies Its future strength and
power of recuperation.
"It Is my intention to continue head
quarters In .Buffalo and Washington fur
the next four years, to keep in touch
with the leaders of all the states and to
promulgate Democratic principles and
Democratic thought by the printing of lit
erature to aid the leaders of the party in
fighting the high tariff, which, in all
probability, the Republicans w-ill continue,
notwithstanding their promises to re
vise It.
"I am supported in this by the mem

chairmen and other leaders all over the
Country.

splendidly espoused and with the respect
and admiration of them."

I am more than gratined at the Re

NEW YORK. Nov. 4. (Special.)
'Battling Nelson will meet Packey Mc
Farland before February, or I will
have public sentiment brand him a
quitter." said Harry Gllmore, manager
of McFariand. this morning. There is
no more angry man In all New York
today than Gllmore. His anger almost
drugged him Into an encounter with
the Dane, and but for the timely action
of friends the two would have ex
changed blows.
Nelson arrived here yesterday and
Immediately Gllmore was on his heels
looking for a match. Bat used his re
cent talk of "go get a reputation," and
this angered Gllmore so that he went
at the Dane as though he would de
vour him. The Hegewlsch lad told
Harry he would not fight before Feb
ruary. The argument grew so warm
that friends parted the two and hurried
Bat off to his hotel.
Afterward Nelson said: "Let McFar-

ones I .whipped. I knew they were
tough before I fought them, and so
does he."

"No living American is so well fitted
to succeed Mr. Roosevelt as the head of
the great Nation which in the last 10

comed by the British people as a sub-.
stantial Indication that the Increased cor
diality of American sentiment toward this
country, which is due more to Mr. Roose
velt than any one man, will meet equal
encouragement from his successor In the
Presidential chair. But the institution
of direct and friendly relations between
the United States and external powers

people. In the whole sphere
of international politics the installment
of Mr. Taft will be a guaranty of the
stability of the American foreign policy."

If there is any inclination toward undue-stoutness the W. B.
Reduso Corset is the one to wear. The Reduso Corset makes the
clothes fit properly giving the long tapering effect to "the hips
which fashion has decreed for the new gown. The requirements
of fashion are much more of a problem to a woman inclined to
embonpoint than to her sister of slender physique, but the Reduso
Corset puts her on the same level.
The Reduso is a hygienic corset, holding the abdomen in and
keeping the chest up, so that the function of breathing is exer
cised naturally.
The surprising result of wearing Reduso Corsets is that all
excess of flesh on the abdomen rapidly disappears.
The waist line lessens several inches through wearing this
corset. It works with nature, not against it ; consequently is per
fectly comfortable and a help to good health, as well as a boon to
the modiste. " Another good point is that these corsets are made
of strong materials, and give good service.
