CHAPTER XXV.
(Continued.)
An unusual Incident occurred about
8:30 ocloek In the evening- (election
jilrht, 1916). shortly after my talk
with the president. I was called to
the telephone and told that tome one
In New York, who refuses to give his
tiame, wished to speak to me on a
highly important matter. I went to
he phone. At the other end In New
York was an Individual who. refusing;
to give his name, described himself
elf -g a friend of
our cause. I thought f 1
he was one of the i 1
varieties crtnk,
with whom I had I -4
been accustomed to 1 1 -& .
House on frequent I JL-.-: -i -i i

thin -ltn.i. Ulm talk
that convinced me I
that he was In close I
touch with one In L
. V
authority at repub- J. I. Xumuiij.
licao headquarters.
In his first talk with me. and In
ubsequent talks during- the night of
the election and) on the following day,
there wa a warning: to us, In no way,
or by the slightest sign, to give up
the fight, or to concede Hughes' elec
tion. He said that "early return will
naturally run against Wilson In the
east, particularly in Illinois and
Iowa," and intimated to me that the
plan at republican headquarters would
be to exaggerate these reports and to
overwhelm us with news of republi
can victories throughout the country.
Continuing- his talk, he said: "The
Wilson fight will be won In the west.
I shall keep you advised of what is
happening in republican headquarters.
I can only tell you that I will know
what la happening and you may rely
upon the Information I shall give
you."
All night long: the loyal newspaper
men and I kept vigil at the executive
offices. As I read over the bulletins
that came to me, particularly those
from republican headquarter In New
York, I was quick to notice that, al
though the republican managers were
blatantly proclaiming to the country
that the fight was over, for some rea
son or other the republican candidate,
Mr. Hughes, who was at his head
quarters at the Hotel Astor, was
ilent.
Another Means ae Comes.
Just about this time there was
another mesaage from the mysterious
stranger in New York. The message.
as I recall It, was as follows: "They
(meaning- the republican managers)
are trying to Induce Hughes to claim
the election, but ha is unwilling to
make an announcement and la asking
for further returns. You boys stand
pat. Returns that are now coming In
are worrying them. Don't be swept
off your feet by claims from republi
can headquarters. 1 know what is
happening thcr."
Shortly after this tolephone message
came a bulletin from republican head
quarters, stating- that the republican
managers were then In conference
with Mr. Hushes and that ft statement
from Mr. Hughes would soon be
forthcoming. This unusual coinci
dence convinced me that the man
who was telephoning me either was
on the inside of affairs at republican
headquarters, or had an uncanny way
of knowing Just what the managers
were doing.
Up to 11 o'clock, every bit of news
ran against ua. Finally, the Brook
lyn Eagle, a supporter of the presi
dent, and then the New York Times,
our last line of defense, gave way
and conceded Hughes' election, but
the unterrlflcd democrats at the ex
ecutive offices stood out against any
admission of defeajL
The mysterious stranger was again
on the wire, aaylng that .there was
consternation In the republican ranks;
that Georfre Perkins had just con
ferred with National Chairman Wil
cox and had left WIIcox'b room, shak-Ina-
his head and saying to one of the
attaches of headquarters, that "things
were not looktag well." A few min
utes later a bulletin came from re
publican headquarters confirming the
story the mysterious stranger had
Just mentioned over the phone.
All the while 1 was keeping In
touch with our headquarters in New
York city, and about 10:30 o'clock.
Bob Woolley. the publicity man of
the democratic national committee,
phoned me and advised me not to
concede anything and assured me
that the returns from the west, now
coming- in greater drifts. Indicated
Wilson's re-election.
When I left the telephone-booth
Iavid Lawrence, the Washington
correspondent of the New York Eve
ning rout, who a few weeks before
had predicted. In a remarkable arti
cle, the election of Wilson, and who
was my friend and co-laborer during
that nlgrht (In conjunction with Ames
Brown, a noted newspaper man of
Washington connected with the dem
ocratic national committee), con
ferred with me, and from a table he
had prepared showed me how the
small states of the west, which the
return indicated were now coming
into the Wilson column, would eleel
the democratic candidate, and that,
under no circumstances must we, by
any chance. In any statement concede
the election ofHughes.
All night long distance telephone
messages, very brief, would come
from the mysterious stranger In New
York and quickly there would follow
bulletins from republican headquar
ters confirming everything that h
said. These messages came so rap
idly that I was soon convinced that
this Individual, whoever he was. had
the real Inside of the republican sit
uation. So convinced was I that 1
followed up my statement of the earls
evening- with others and additional
ones, claiming the election for Mr.
Wilson.
Just about the break of day on
Wednesday morning, as David Law
rence, Ames Brown and my son Joe
were seated In my office, a room
which overlooked a wide expanse of
the Atlantic ocean, we were notified
by democratic headquarters of the
first big drift toward Wilson. Ohio,
which in the early evening had been
claimed by the republicans, had
-turned to Wilson by an approximate
majority of 60,000; Kansas followed;
- Utah was leaning toward him; North
Dakota and South Dakota inclining
the same way.' The Wilson tide be
gan to rise appreciably from that
time on. until state after state from
the west came Into the Wilson Col
umn. At 5 O'clock In the morning
the New York Times and the New
York World recanted and were now
saying that the election of Mr.
Hughes was doubtful.
Without sleep and without food,
those of us at the executive offices
kept closs to the telephone wire. We
never left the Job for a minute. The
last message from the mysterious
stranger came about 1 o'clock, the
day following the election, when he
phoned me that "George Perkins is
now at republican headquarters- and
Is telephoning Roosevelt and will
soon leave to inform Roosevelt that,
to use his own words, 'the Jig Is tip.'
and that Wilson Is elected." Shortly
after, from republican headquarters
came a bulletin saying- that "George
Perkins was on his way to confer
with Mr. Roosevelt."
Stranger Explains All.
Some months after the election the
mysterious stranger came to the
White House offices and, without
Identifying himself. Informed me that
he was the Individual who on the
night of the election had kept me In
touch with republican headquarters,
and then astounded me by telling me
that In some mytesrlous way, which
he did not disclose, he had succeeded
in breaking In on the republican na
tional committee wire and had lis
tened In on every conversation that
had Dasaed between Wlllcox. uugnes,
George Perkins, Harvey and Theo
dore Roosevelt himself during the
night of the election and the day
following.
Mr. Wilson arose the morning after
the election confident that he had
been defeated. He went about his
tasks in the usual way. -The first
news that he received that there had
been a turn In the tide carrfe from
his daughter Margaret, who knocked
on the door of the bathroom while
the president was shaving and told
him of the "extra" of the New York
Times' saying that the election was
in doubt, with ind cations or a wu-
son Tlctory. The president thought
that his daughter was playing 4
practical joke on htm and told her
to "tell that to the marines' ana
went nn about his shaving.
When the president and I discussed
the. visit of his daughter Margaret to
notify him of his re-election ne in
formed me that he was Just beginning
to enjoy the reaction of defeat, when
he was notified that the tide nao
turned ln hie favor. This will seem
unusuaL but those of us who were
close to the man and who understood
the trials and tribulations of the pres
idency knew that he was. In fact, for
the first time in four years enjoying
the freedom of private life.
Wilson, Calm as Ever.
Mr. Wilson's Imperturbability on
election nights was like that of sturdy
Grover Cleveland, though tempera
mentally the men were unlike. Mr.
Cleveland used to tell his friends how
In 1884 he had gone to bed early, not
knowing who was elected, and how be
learned the news of his election next
morning from his valet, after having
first made inquiries about the state
of the weather. In 1892 Mr. Cleve
land, his wife, and two friends played
a quiet game of cards while the re
turns were coming in. In reciting
these reminiscences, the old warrior
used to say that he never could under
stand the excitement of candidates
on election nights. "The fight is all
over then," he would say, "and It Is
merely matter of counting the ballots."
Mr. Wilson preserved the Same
calmness, which appeared almost like
indifference. In 1912 he sat in the
sitting room of his little cottage in
Cleveland lane in Princeton quietly
reading from one ar his favorite au
thors and occasionally Joining In the
conversation of Mrs. Wilson and a few
neighbors who had dropped In. In a
rear room there was a telegraphic
ticker, an operator and some news
paper boys who at Intervals would
take an especially interesting bulle
tin In to Mr. Wilson, who would
glance at It casually .make some brief
comment and then return to his book.
One of the guests of the evening who
read in a newspaper next day a rather
melodramatic: and entirely imagina
tive account of the scene, said: "The
only dramatic thing about the eve
ning was that there was nothing
dramatic"

crust?
Try Crisco in this recipe
BUTTERSCOTCH PIE
3 tablespoonfuls cornstarch
i tcaspoonful salt
j cupful cold milk
1 cupful milk, scalded
2 tablespoonfuls Crisco
1 cupful brown sugar
2 egg yolks
Meringut
2 egg whites
H cupful granulated sugar
Crisco Flake Pastry
Bake the pastry, rolled as for pie crust, on the
outside of an inverted pie pan. Prick the paste
all over and set the pie pan on a tin sheet to
keep the edges from contact with the oven.
When baked set inside a clean pie plate, turn
in the cooked filling, cover with the meringue
and let bake for ten minutes.
To make the filling, cook the cornstarch and
salt, mixed with the cold milk, in the hot milk
fifteen minutes; add the Crisco and sugar stirred
and cooked over the fire until the sugar is dis
solved and bubbly; add the yolks. For the
meringue beat the whites, very light, and gradu
ally beat in the sugar.
Flak PastsY
DON'T say no" until you have tried
making it with Crisco, the improved
cooking fat.
Crisco makes pie-crust flaky because it is 100
shortening just rich edible vegetable oil,
hardened by the special Crisco process into
creamy white cooking fat. Crisco makes pie
crust taste better because it is itself tasteless
and odorless. You never detect that unpleasant
fatty taste in a Crisco crust. , And best of all
to lovers of the great American dessert, Crisco
makes pie crust easy to digest because Crisco
itself is just as easy to digest as the other ingre
dients that go into pie crust and fillings.
1 cupful flour
4 tiblespoonfuls Crisco
i teaspoonful salt
Just enough cold water
to hold dough together
Sift flour and salt and cut half the Crisco into
flour with knife until it is finely divided. The
finger tips may be used to finish blending mate
rials. Then add water sparingly, mixing it with
knife through dry materials. Form with the
hand into dough and roll out on' a floured board
to quarter inch thickness. Spread one-third of
remaining Crisco on two-thirds of dough nearest
rou: fold twice, to make three layers,
oldinz in first that part on which
Crisco has not been spread. Turn
dough, putting folded edges to the
sides; roll out, spread and fold as be
fore. Repeat once more. Use a light
motion in handling rolling-pin, and
roll from center outward. Should
Crisco be too hard, it will not mix
readily with flour, in which case the
result will be a tough crust.

A Danger Signal Tender
and Bleeding Gums
Healthy teeth cannot live in diseased tissue. Gums tainted
with Pyorrhea are dangerously diseased. For not only the
teeth are affected, but Pyorrhea germs seep into the body,
lower its vitality and cause many ills.
Pyorrhea begins with tender and bleeding gums. Then the
gums recede, the teeth decay, loosen and fall out, or must be
extracted to rid the system of the poisonous germs that breed
in pockets about them. -
Four out of five people over forty have this disease. But
you need not have it. Visit your dentist often for tooth and
gum inspection. And keep Pyorrhea away by using Forhan's
For the Gums.
Forhan's For the Gums will prevent Pyorrhea or check
its progress if used in time and used consistently. Ordinary
dentifrices cannot do this. Forhan's keeps the gums hard
and healthy, the teeth white and clean. If you have tender
or bleeding gums, start using it today.
Brush Your Teeth With Forhan's How to Use It
Ui it ttrict daily, fear in end ytar tat. Wet your brush in cold
water, place a half-inch of th refreshing, healing paste on it, then
brush your teeth up and down. Use a rolling motion to clean the
crevices. Brush the grinding and back surfaces of the teeth. Massage
your gums with your Forhan-coated brush gently at first until the
gums harden, then more vigorously. If the gums are very tender,
massage with the finger, instead of the brush. If gum shrinkage has
already set in, use Forhan's according to directions, and consult a
dentist immediately for special treatment.
