THE RESULT.
ILLIAM HOWARD TAFT was
elected prehidont of the United
States yesterday by an over-
-whelming majority. The American
.people have once more emphatically
(demonstrated their faith and fealty
in the men and measures of the Re
publican party. At this writing, in
dications are that Taffs majority
-will be even greater than Roosevelt's
-was four years ago. This remark
able result comes as a surprise.
"While there has been general con
'fidence in the triumph of Taft, that
It would be so complete and sweep
"skas was not anticipated.
"Thu, result comes as the culmina
tion of an unusual campaign, in some
ycspects one of the most remarkable
"In the history of the American Re
public. In some of its features it
;pnzzled the politicians. The appa
rent lack of interest in the discus
sion of the issues indicated apathy,
"bnt now we know it was merely the
common sense of the American peo
iple In rofiibtng to bo disturbed after
"having firmly fixed their decision in
their own minds. They refused to
become excited with the deluge of
debaie, bluff, buncomb and burden
some juwwork in overwhelming
Hood. They roenn-iiWoil In Taft '"
woniiy and legitimate successor to
the present White House Incumbent.
President Roosevelt has made the
'.office of president the position of real
power In the ropubllc. To fl" this
place acceptably requires a man of
the same standards and stamina as
"Roosevelt and the people wero quick
4jo recognize him In William Howard

Council Discovers It Has Not
Any Power Over Acceptance
of Street Work.
The controversy over the accept
ance of ihe Sixth street planking was
settled at the city council meeting
last night and Incidentally quite a
stir was raised over the discovery
that the councilmen have not any
thing to say about the material or
work that f-.Diractors shall do. The
ir .tor is bad'v mixed up through
cc filleting sections of the specifica
tions pnd the corfracts which the
city has been using and enabled Con
tractors Byren and Erickson and J.
E. Oren to politely tell the council
men that were wasting a lot of
words, time and energy over some
thing they had no authority to deal
with. Instead of being anxious to
eibf ate Uie alleged defective plani:
pains question as was broached by
Mr. Oren when the question was first
taken up last night, the council was
told tbnt (he contractors or the C.
A. ' j i Lii nbr and Manufacturing
Cr,r ;jy r.''d not make any con
cessions and thpt Uie c r '''ng for
ih'e council to do was to p. y lor the

w ' ' .ilock pfcuk hpd been used
instead ot the fr that tre city is sup
po rd to have, and ordered the con
trpctors paid In full.
Snndberg In It.
The m'xup resulted from City En
gineer "Yndberg agreeing to the use
of hemlock instead of fir plank in
ihe paving. Mr. Sandberg said that
he merely agreed to the use of hem
lock in case the property owners
agreed to it. The contractors in
timated that he simply agreed to the
use of hemlock instead of fir.'
Heretofore, the street committee
composed of Chairman Claude Nas
burg and Councilmen Savage and
Sacchi havo been wasting a lot of
shoe leather looking over new side
walks and plank roadways thinking
they were to decide whether the work
was done satisfactorily. According
to the expose of the specifications,
contracts last night, the city engin
eer has the sole authority.
In bringing the matter up, Mr.
Oren said that he had been requested
by Contractors Myren and Erickson
to appear before the council and try
and adjust the Sixth street matter.
He said that he felt as though the
C. A. Smith Lumber and Manufactur
ing Company was. parilj responsible
as they had furnished the material.
As to hemlock, he said lat the com-
paiij did t " "t hemlock that!
it was known as "white fir." How
ever, rather than cause the contract
ors the bother of removing the white
fir, he would agree to guarantee the
white fir planks and in case any of
them decayed before the regular fir,
they would be replaced without cost.
However, he said he wished to call
the council's attention to the specifi
cations which provided that the city
engineer had the right to accept or
reject material and as he had. accept
ed the white fir ur hemlock, he didn't
think It fair 'i t) . contractors to
reject it
c Warm Tilt".
This resulted in the contract and
apeclflcath .sr being read. When the
rnnfl' ' wf-e discovered,
fori o-'.- in 'hat the street bo
accjjied v Mr. Oren's guarantee
Mr. Orei promptly refused to give
any guarante saying that the con
tractor had lived up to their agree
ment. Councilman Sacchi axpressed his
Iro n the mlxup and declared that
b would see that the contract and
spe ideations were straightened out.
Mayor Straw said that he didn't
know whether City Engineer Sand
berg was com ittent judge of lum
ber. . Mr'. Oiea -Med that he thought
