WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Senator German
is the first of the democratic campaign
managers to come to Washington. He saw
the President to-day and told him the story
of the fight as seen by him and his co-labor-

much to what the President had already
learned from the newspapers. Senator
German was as surprised as anybody by the
result. He told the President when he was
last here, three weeks ago, that New York
was as certain TO go democratic as New
Jersey, and he believed it firmly. He was
unprepared for the sudden slump in Kings
county. Mr.. German was also astonished
by the Baltimore election. He attributes
the result there to the efforts of persons
having personal grudges to serve

How Col. Harris Accounts For the
Great Disaster.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Representa-
Henry r. Harris, of Georgia, third assist
ant postmaster general, said he hardly knew
what to think of the election. 1T looks to
me something like the campaign Of 1910
over again. Then, again, you know as n
rule the outs are apt to work harder than
the ms who as a matter Of course feel III
a more or less degree certain sense OF
security l think Hills election is due
mainly to the large German element,
which is republican. While the Ger
mans voted for Hill for governor, they
pulled for Harrison for President. Gen.
Harris takes rosy view of the situation
and believes the defeat is due to the lavish
use of money. He said: THE floating
vote is an unknown quantity The party
that can vote it will always win.
