The ordinance was read by, Alder- man Turnock of the Judiciary com- mittee. Immediately after hia re- quest that the ordinance be approved by the council. Alderman Wallace leaped to his feet and exclaimed that he did not know enough about the | subject to vote on It intelligently.

He Wdsad^ dimensions of the plant, gating that it would not be half large Ijsoagh to supply the city, v P ' Rossbach Opposes. Alderman Rossbach, who has al- ways opposed the subject, said that as had something to say on the matter and If it was satisfactory to the coun- cil be would read what he bad to say. He th^n proceeded for fifteen minutes In reading extracts and letters from engineers to whom he had written. He read of the work done In Kansas City ana said that no such sum was appropriated there, and thought that settling plants were what was needed. • After Alderman Rossbach had stum- bled through what he had to read. Alderman Congdon said Alderman Wallace or any other alderman could ffot speajt for him. He then explained *ae work of the engineers and what _*â- * contemplated.: *1 do not believe Nfr would have done our duty unless Si-put this question up to the people 1st their consideration," said Alder- Congdon. "The members of the 4Mnmittee **â-¼â€¢ worked on these plans ^fruitfully and conscientiously, and be- tove-that the plans as approved by ;*• engineers are as good and as prac- 4te*l as can be secured."

EVAHStOK BAILT ITTwo: I favor thef re-election of President Taft. There la no concern of Government more vital than the comfort and prosperity of its citiiens, and particularly that great portion of ite eltisenship, the laboring classes. The policy of protection, as es- tablished by the Bspubliean Party, has surrounded tabor in this Country with conditions that, although not ideal, are nevertheless better than those that e*iet in othsr countries. To pressrve this pre-sminenoe, and to improve theee conditions, is the duty of government, and, in my Judgment, can be boot accomplished under the control of the Republican party and along the lines outlined by President Taft. X believe that Ex-Presidsnt Roosevelt was right in his speech at Sioux Falls, in stating that the present tariff Lew ig better than the last, and considerably better than the one before the last; and that President Taft was ritfvt when he declared at Tinona that the present law is superior to any which has previously been enacted, X believe that an intell- igent analysis of prssent conditions in domestic manufacture and in foreign trade would establish absolute procf of these contentions. I favor the act- ivity of the Tariff Board in investigating and recommending further improve- ments upon this Lew. To rsveree our tariff policy is to Introduce uncertain- ty and to invite disaster. X do not favor ths Initiative and Referendum. To adopt the same process in passing current legislation as for establishing or amend- ing our Constitutions, Is, in effect, to annul the Constitutions. X prefer a Government of Constitutional restraints. X do not believe in the Pecall of Judges or other offi- cials. To establish this would bs to deprive ths public of the benefits that etits from the exercise of courage on the part of its public men. ' I earnestly desire equality of opportunity for profit and enjoyment among men, the progress of mankind toward ths great goal of social J us tics, and the groeft of brotherly responsibility between all our people* But to advance in this direction depends mors upon our spiritual regeneration and our individual victories ovsr our own selfishnees than upon legislation. X fsel that X am advancing such hopes in voting for the contimAfttlori of »u Administration that has reduced the expense of the Feder- al Government more than $50*000,000. a yaar; that has, for the first tirfe, made the Poet Office sslf-sustaining; that has, for the first time, provid- ed for the scientific consideration of the tariff; that hae enacted the Cor- portion Tax Law, and the Frnployers1 Liability Law; that has established the Commerce Court, the Postal Savings Sank, the Bureau of Mines and Mining for the protection of lives; and ths HatipUftl Child Labor Bureau. in which he expressed himself as fa- Jvoring presenting the ordinance to the people for their approval, the vote was taken and the ordinance wa* ap- proved by a vote of 9 to 3, Alderman Dyche being absent.

Wilder, 1211 Hlnman ave ude, president of the Wilder-Manning Tanning company of Waukegan, was elected president of the National As- sociation of Tanners at the annual meeting held in Chicago Friday. "The price of leather and leather findings has advanced owing to the scarcity of raw material, which means cattle/' said President Wilder. "Hides cost more per pound than did beefsteak twenty-five years ago, sim- ply because the farmers have stopped raising stock and have gone into other lines of agriculture." That a still higher price in shoes is imminent unless there is a great increase in the number of cattle raised in this country was the con- census of opinion among the dele- gates attending the National Associa- tion of Tanners in Chicago Friday. Mr. Wilder has officiated as head of the Waukegan tanning company for fifteen years. The concern, although not the largest of its kind in the United States is one of the moet re- sponsible, and employs upwards of 100 men. Mr. Wilder is recognised as one of the best versed tanners in America. ELECTION RETURNS Will be received eara* saselsl Western Union wire at J Tuesday, Nov. E, Admission H Wllmette, at 8 p. m.
