President Sees Victory
for Republicans.
DEMOCRATIC AID EXPECTED
Business Men Loath to Lose
Benefit of Prosperity.
TRADE GROWTH ENORMOUS
Issue, Says Statement, Is Whether
Voters Want This Condition to
Continue Industry Driven
to Utmost Capacity.
BEVERLY, Mass., Oct. 20. President
Taft issued tonight a statement pre
dicting; Republican victory next month
and declaring; It "obvious that either
the Republican or Democratic nominee
will be elected." He says it is an open
secret that "the third party does not
expect success."
The President reviews business con
ditions, which he says are unprece
dentedly prosperous and asserts the
belief that sober Judgment of the
voters will continue present conditions.
The statement reads:
"Fifty-two years ago. seceders from
the Union thought they were facing a
divided North, and would win an easy
victory. There had been division
among the loyal people, but all united
in face of the common, danger and in
addition a great number of Democrats
Joined the Republicans in the success
ful struggle for the Nation's life.
Ship of State Sails Ob.
"Then it was said by hostile critics
that the ship of state was drifting. It
drifted yes. with Lincoln at the helm,
from the reefs of secession and slavery
Into the placid waters of union and
liberty.
"Under LIncoln"s successors it has
sailed on, propelled by the winds of
prosperity, save when its voyage has
been halted by just such a visitation of
storm and stress, of torn protection
sails and broken business bulkheads,
as we are now threatened with, should
Baltimore supplant Chicago, which it
did not in 1860, and will not In 1912:
Obstinate Pupil la Evidence.
Our friends, the enemy, say the
Democracy has learned its mistakes
and does not mean to repeat them. The
Republican party has had a difficult,
if unsuccessful task, in teaching the
Democracy Its mistakes, so far as it
has been taught; but somehow the ob
stinate pupil comes forward every four
years to be taught again.
"I am glad to say, however, that
many Democrats have learned their
lesson well and are refusing to leave
the firm ground of prosperity for the
quagmire of business disruption, trade
lepresslon and commercial and indus
trial depletion. " From all parts of the
Country assurances are coming that
Democrats intend to vote for the Re
publican candidates and a continuance
of prosperous business conditions, and
against the programmes of economic
confusion and socialistic subversion of
our institutions supported by the Dem
ocratic cand'dates and their allies.
Democratic worklngmen refuse to be
led from the factory and good wages
of 1912 back to the Democratic hard
times of 189S-97. They prefer inde
pendence and money in the savings
bank to loss of employment and de
pendence on charity.
Pay Envelope Trade Feeders.
"Democratic business men feel the
same way. They know that when In
dustries languish their business lan
guishes too. The pay envelopes are
the feeders of trade In every form.
When they are empty or scrimpy the
biggest department store feels the ef
feet, as well as the corner grocery.
"Drifting well let me glance at
some of the drift. Our home market
has drifted from $7,000,000,000 in 1870
to J33.000.000.000 a bad drift, that.
And it is this magnificent home mar
ket without equal in the past or pres
ent, that the Democrats propose to
dismember and disorganize, and invite
every nation ia the world to prey
upon, while those same nations keep
the barriers to their own markets.
Just as high as they please.
Foreln Trade Keep Pace.
"Then look at our foreign trade. A
favorite Democratic argument Is that
Republicans build up and cultivate the
home market at the expense of our
foreign commerce, when the fact is
that the growth of foreign trade has
almost kept proportionate pace with
the domestic from $1,000,000,000 in
1870 to 84,000,000.000 in 1912.
'"Our exports for the last year
amounted to $2,170,319,328 of which
$474,302,903 were manufactures ready
for consumption, the largest export
trade and the largest proportion of
manufactures ready for consumption
the country has ever known.
"The American manufacturer and
the American worker would not have
much spirit left for Invading the for
eign market If deprived by a Demo
cratic 'tariff for revenue only,' of the
best market of all, more than equal in
purchasing power to all Europe, the
home market which they now control,
thanks to the Republican protective
tariff.
"And this unprecedented growth of
our foreign trade is accompanied by
expansion as unprecedented in our

lodged the boy's hat, while some of the
scattering shot penetrated his face.
Stunned by the explosion, young
Hurst dropped to the ground. Regain

Monument to Be Built.
CHICAGO. Oct. 20. (Special.) A
funeral such as was never known be
fore was today accorded "Billy" Rugh,
"newsboy," who gave his life that a
girl might live. Greater homage In
pageantry and grandeur has bean paid
kings and statesmen beloved by nations
but this was a spontaneous tribute
from the hearts of men and women In
honor of a hero.
Fifteen thousand persons, singing
"Nearer, My God, to Thee,'- crowded
about his casket on a street corner in
Gary, Ind., this afternoon. By their
very numbers they had blocked a mile
long funeral cortege and prevented the
holding of a church service.
Strong men of many races, workers
In steel mills that were closed in
Rugh's honor, wept as they formed 1"
line with their employers and walked
slowly past the coffin of the dead
"newsboy." Their wives and children
were with them and many stretched
forth their hands in an effort to ex
press their reverence by offering
money for the erection of a monument.
Mourners Shower Coffin With Coin.
Policemen found difficulty In ex
plaining to hundreds ot the mourners,
for they all were mourners, although
some could not speak English, that
they must not shower the coffin with
money, but must keep It until arrange
ments for the memorial tribute could
be made.
The coffin, buried in the floral of
ferings of city officials, fraternal or
ganizations and private citizens, was
carried In a crepe trimmed fire depart
ment automobile from the undertaking
establishment toward the First Metho
dist Church. Thousands blocked the
streets and the church was filled to
overflowing long before the advance
squad of policemen, leading the proces
sion, arrived.
Then the plans were changed and it
was decided to hold the service from
the church steps. But the procession
never got that far. When the corner
before the church had been reached the
crowd was so dense that this plan had
to be given up.
Coffin Placed In Road.
Instead, a space was cleared In the
.center of the road and there, upon low
rests, the coffin was placed.
Led by the church choir and with
music furnished by two bands that had
donated their services, the crowd sang
old Gospel hymns as Rev. J. M. Avann
stepped into the fire department auto
mobile and utilized its seat as his pul
pit. Throngs of persons upon nearby
porch roofs Joined In the singing.
The pastor likened the dead hero to
the Christ, and quoted from the Bible.
"He saved others, yet himself he could
not save." This was his text
"What means this concourse of peo
ple? Why has the heart of Gary been
touched as never before? Why do thou
sands block the streets?" asked the
? ilster. "We are told a man Is dead.
Why, men die every day. Yet this man
had no office, and was almost un
known. He was only a newsboy. But
he made the great sacrifice. He risked
his life, then gave it that a girl whom
he never knew might live. His was the
sacrifice of one who loved his fellow
man. Tears Dim Eyes of Multitude.
"In life his cheery smile and kindly
greeting was worth going a mile to sea
and hear. In death he has attracted an
assemblage to pay liim tribute that
would not assemble for a self-centered
man. This was the spirit of Rugh, The
spirit of self-sacrifice, and if you are
inspired by it, my words will not have
been in vain."
Tears dimmed the eyes of the thou
sands as they united in singing "Jesus.
lxver of My Soul." Then Rev. J. A.
WiClenanhan, pastor of the United
Presbyterian Church, delivered a brief
prayer.
"Rugh has been the teacher of us all,"
he said. "We pray for his soul and
that his lesson may be engraved upon
the tablets of our hearts and lead us to
higher thoughts."
Then a path was cleared on either
side of the coffin, and it was opened
that the thousands might have a last
view of the dead hero's face. For near
ly an hour tha double lines of sorrow
ers passed by. It was then that many
attempted to offer money for the
memorial monument. So great was the
throng that when one of the women
passersby fainted those before and be
hind her had to carry her on. There
wis no way at the sides.
Among those who passed slowly Yj
were Charles Smith and his two sons.
It was Ethel Smith, his 19-year-old
daughter, whose life was saved., by
Rugh's self:sacriflce. ' She was unable
to leave her bed,
