CONSTITUTION TO BE MOTTO President Believes Roosevelt Is Laying Plans for 1916. RECENT DEFEAT EXPECTED Republican Lenders Call at White House, Where Situation Is Dis cussed Business - Men's Clubs to Be Formed. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. (Special.) In the plans that are being made by President Taft and his political ad i ,. rr- rehabilitation of the Repub lican party no compromise will be con sidered that looks towaru tne nomina tion of Theodore Roosevelt for Presi dent in 3916. The President and his followers are satisfied that. Roosevelt threw himself into the campaign Just finished first for revenge and second because he expected through the de moralization of the Republican party to bring about his own nomination in 1916 as the only Moses who could lead the scattered and disorganized forces to the promised land. - If Mr. Roosevelt really is cherishing this ambition and expects to walk away with the Republican organiza tion four years hence, he may as well make up his mind now to another bit ter fight, perhaps as bitter as the one that has Just resulted In the election of Woodrow Wilson by an overwhelm ing majority Mr. Taft Never Deluded, c iv that President Taft has had with Republicans since election it is apparent now that ne na uw slons in regard to the outcome of the election. As a good soldier he en deavored to assume an air of confi dence to the end, but "there was never a moment when he really expected his own election. The end toward which the President and his followers were striving was to prevent the election of Roosevelt and. If possible, to record a greater number of votes than the ex-President In the electoral college. President Taft has told some of his friends that he feels that the Republican organiza tion has rendered a great service to the cause of constitutional government in preventing the nomination and elec tion of Colonel Roosevelt. It is also known that the President derives a good deal of comfort from the belief that this service will be more clearly and certainly appreciated by. the Amer ican public as time goes on. War Made on Roosevelt. As Indicating President Taffs ideas in regard to the future, he is quoted as having said to one or two political vis itors: .A' lcnt Roosevelt from being elected President and l turns, we can do it again." ThswPresldent is seizing every occa sion to urge upon Republicans the necessity of getting to work Immediate ly for the rehabilitation of the Repub lican party. PmsIflBril Taft realizes that the process of restoring the party as aj militant force will be slow, .nut ne is confident that it will be brought about eventually. Mr. Taft himself Intends personally to devote all time that he has to spare beyond that necessary to make a living In promoting this move ment for the rebuilding of the Repub lican party. This action on his part will be entirely without regard to any (Concluded ou Page 2.) Wire Communication Cut OffTrain Service in Tillamook Country Crippled by 611des. MARSHFELD. Or.. Nov. 8.

"Dangerous, but not hopeless," is the way the political plight in which Europe finds herself is summed up tonight in official circles herew The diplomatic controversy between Austria and Servia over Servia's access to the Adriatic has the center of the stage, overshadowing all else, even the war Itself.

LONDON, . Nov. 9. Another mile tone In the victorious sweep of the Balkan allies was the entry of the Greek army into Salonlkl, which means almost as much to the Greeks as the ancient capital, fskuk, to the Servians. Crown Prince Constantlne, after an interview with ' the commandant and iho vnrfilE-n Consuls, received the sur render of the Turkish army under con ditions imposed by him. The report of a massacre in the city has not been confirmed In any way, and is not credited. Twenty-five thou sand Turks gave tip their arms and were paroled until the end of the war. All foreigners apparently are safe. Tin Bulgarians and Servians have taken another Important seaport, Kav ala, east of Salonlkl, and an Important town on the railroad to Constantinople, Gumurjina, further strengthening their footholds in the cordon separating the main Turkish armies in the east from the scattered garrisons in the west.

ACCUSED MANJVIAKES PLEA In Own Defense ex-Chief Clerk at Navy-Yard Takes Stand. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 9. Edwin F. Meyer, former chief clerk in the gen eral storekeeper's office at the Puget Sound Navy-yard, took the stand in his own defense today in the Federal Court, where he is on trial accused of de frauding the Government In connec tion with supply contracts. Meyer testi fied that he had $600 when he was transferred to the Puget Sound yard from South Carolina in 1902, and that soon after his arrival here J. A. Ket tlewell a brother employe who has already served a sentence for partici pation in the supply frauds, borrowed $150 from him. Meyer said that Kettlewell, who was one of the Government's principal wit nesses, still owes him $75 on that loan. Regarding the Government check pay able to Peter Brandt, whom tho Gov ernment alleges is a fictitious person and which was cashed for Meyer by his attorney, Meyer said the check was given to him by 'Kettlewell in payment of another loan of $200 and that he did not know that such a person as Peter Brandt did not exist.

Wheeler, a machinery salesman who waft.pflnvicted with Ket tlewell and that he had never given Wheeler advance information on ma terial needed by the Government.

YOUNG KICKS 45 YARDS In Most Spectacular Gridiron Con test of Season Corvallis Boys Play Excellent Football and Fight to the Last Ditch. BY ROSCOK FAWCETT. Umpire Washington-O. A. C Game. Coach Samuel M. P. Dolan, of the Oregon Agricultural College, pushed an enigma at the University of Wash ington football champions yesterday on Multnomah field. An enigma is as se rious an affliction in football as fff is in the dictionary. With three minutes to play in the fourth quarter and) the score 3 tp 3, it looked as if the Wamo would end in a tie. Then two plays changed the conundrum into a 3 to 3 catastrophe one a magnificent 45 yrd punt by Young, of Washington, the other a disastrous bungle by the under dogs In the 2-to-l and 3-to-l betting odds. Those two plays one of achieve ment, the other of mischievement-un-doubtedly turned the tides of war and gave the Washington champions a toe hold on the pennant. In that fatal door-die finish. Quarter-back Young, backed up on his own 25-yard line, kicked a hole In the door of fame by booting the soggy ball 45 yards down the field. Dewey, In the backfleld, fum bled the punt one of many bungle some slips of the kind and then sprang the serious tactical mistake of attempting a forward pass on the first down In his own defense territory. Miller Makes Touchdown. Young, of Washington, intercepted the pass, and that proved the crack in the Corvallis shell. After two trials Young essayed a drop kick from a had angle and the Aggies recovered the ball on their own 25-yard line. Black well punted a puny 15-yard offering, Young returning 10 yards. Voung gained five yards and then sang out the signal for a forward pass. Twenty yards the leather sailed over the heads of the helpless Beavers Into the out stretched paws of Lelt-end Clark, who was down on the four-yard line. Shiel made no gain and then "Hap" Miller, Washington substitute right halfback. who had tossed the pass to Clark, slammed through guard for the touch down that spelled victory and sent emotions of Joy and of sorrow vi brating through a crowd of close to 4000 wild-eyed enthusiasts. The Oregon Aggies played a brilliant. grinding game. There's no question about It, for Washington had been ex pected to win by a score something like 18 to 0. The. Corvallis line out fought ' and out-gamed their heavier opponents all through the four quar ters, making yardage ten times to eight for Dobie. Young's remarkable punting, however, offset the superior line plunging and the fact that tho Seattleites had the punch when tho punch was needed makes It Imperative to add that the best team undoubtedly won. Game Is Spectacular. Sheets of rain and hailstones the size of marbles beat down upon the saw-dust-capfed rathskeller during the third quarter, but for all that the game was spectacular to the extreme. Both teams fumbled badly, but the Aggies' (Concluded on Page 9.)
