He is said to have had no doubt about the vote early in the evening and prob- ably would have retired earlier than he did but for the fact that Chief Justice Taft and Senator Smoot of Utah were with him in the White House. The former dropped in around 11 ‘o'clock’ and said he did not intend to stay.

These were more indicative of the President's tion and made it evident were no signs of the President’s ctoral vote decreaging. Bascom Slemp, the President’s secretary, who is a deft hand at han- dling election returns and in inter- preting them, pieced these late mes- sages together and from time to time took his collections to the President |and went over them with him. The President was intensely inter- ested. He showed no excitement, but to those who talked with him, there was no mistaking keen interest in the vote by States and just how it all ppened and what it all meant. | was greatly concerned about the clec \ of the Republican Senators and the retention of a Republican major- ity in the House.
