Factors which revived the classic Wilson and Lincoln traditions now were found in the problems of the day and to some extent the attitude of the can- didates esiden r for m past likened today's situation to war. Again and again in his finel campaign speeches he spoke of the last months of this term. in event of his defeat, as time virtually thrown away. Once. by Lincoln’s shrine in Spring- field, 1il. he spoke of that statesman's plan. But he cited no word of his own intentions.

He spent most of the evening in his study, where telephone lines were held open to the White House in Washing- ton and to Rpublican National Com- | mittee headquarters in Chicago. He talked frequently with campaign lead- ers in both cities. Secretary Wilbur, president of Stan- ford University, who has been on leave | since 1929 in order to serve in the cabinet, was with the President when he signed the telegram conceding the | election to Roosevelt. The Secretary of the Interior offered his condolence and shook hands with his chief. Later, while the President and Mrs. Hoover stood on the balcony above him, Secretary Wilbur told news- paper men in the doorway of the house: “I am sorry. He made a great fight.” Shortly after the ovation given him from outside his home Mr. Hoover re- tired.

In an address closing the proceed- ings, Mr. Noyes laid emphasis on the fact there would be no of unwilling employes. He said the ap- peal in each case should be made force- fully and honestly to the conscience of those solicited, and that if. after such an appeal had failed to result in a subscription; the solicitor must be satisfled that he had done his work Mr. Street explained the principle of the solicitation on the basis of 1 or more cents per day, explained workings of the pledge card, and turned the meeting over to Donovan, who gave his vice chairmen their tructions. He said the quota this year for the Dis- trict government was $112.869, which is less than the amount actually col- lected last vear, $123,221 The District vice chairmen not only will solleit the contributions, but will make the collections during the year, and turn them over once a month to the Community Chest. All of the col- lections will be based on the pledge cards. There will bé no pay rolls made up in duplicate this year, as in the previous drive.
