President-Elect Promises Success for Country?May Spend Winter in a Southern City. Cincinnati, ()., November 4.?Farly today Win. 11. Taft gave hearty expression to the gratification he felt on his election as president of the United States. Business, labor and \ agriculture, he declared, had supported him. His success, lie said, should be also the success of the country it1 his ability and endeavor could make it so. "Please say that 1 am perfectly healthy, but tired," was the message Judge TaL't wished uttered for him tonight. With Mrs. Taft he has enjoyed the pleasant household of the C. P. Tafl family mansion today, going forth only once, and then to receive the plaudits of thousands of his fellow townsmen as they lined the streets and filled the windows for blocks in the line of march of the parade of the Woodward High School pupils, faculty and trustees. Mr. Taft made the principal address at the corner stone laying of lite new building of this school, from which he graduated when a boy. The function gave the city opportunity to pay its first daylight tribute to the president-elect. .Judire Taft did not refer to the election or polities in his address, but confined himself to the history of the school, which held for him many fond memories. A speech to the Women's Foreign Missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal church, in annual session here, tomorrow morning and a ban-' quel of the Cincinnati Commercial club tomorrow night constitute the public functions which will occupy Judge Taft before he leaves for Hot Springs, Va., Friday. "I am going away for a complete rest of at least two weeks," said Judge Taft tonight. "Xn, 1 am not going to hold political conferences: neither am 1 going to consider cabinet candidates nor political appointments during Ibis lime. 1) is to be a period of as near rest and quiet as 1 ran make it." After Hot Springs lite Tafl family is considering a number of places for residence during the months that will intervene before inauguration. Among these is Asheville, N. C., which has some objections because of' cold, and Atlanta. (5a.. the consideration of which arc now being brought forward. The decision will be the one important work of the Hot Springs sojourn. While there the Taft family will occupy a collage and it has been slated that the festivities of the resort will be eschewed. Three thousand or more telegrams of congratulalion have been delivered to Judge Taft today. They include messages from cabinet officers, sena- ; tors, representatives, ambassadors, politicians, residents of the Philip- , pine Islands and the far Fast, and personal friends and admirers of Judge Taft. Many lelegrame came from business organizations and labor societies throughout the country. T?TYAN DISCUSSES ELECTION Ple^rcd With His Victory in His Fome State?Says One Can Do ( Bi?

Mr. Brvan,. in responding, said : j i "I am highly gratified over the re-, suits in this State. The national de-j I feat has not been such a disappoint- i' lr ment when we have had so many things lo console ns. I hope I have convinced my friends that running for ollice lias only been an incident to my work. My heart lias never been set on holding office, but 1 wanted to do certain works and it looked as though the presidency might offer the i opportunity to do that work. 1 am ;i sure that in private life T can have o the chance to do something. One is C not required to hold olVico in order to do big things; one is simply required ( to do those things within his reach | and that much is within the reach of each of us. "Personally 1 shall find as much j joy being out of office, if 1 lie returns ,, show 1 must be. as 1 would in ollice. ( I hope still to be of influence to briny ( about needed reforms.

Tonight Mr. Bryan was I lie ' guest ? ?f honor at the banquet of the ' Stale Teachers' Association, where he ' made a short address.
