THE Boston Herald says that the most
significant feature Of the changes made
by individuals in the politics of the last
few years is that they have almost exclu-
slvely been made In one way. The tracks
nearly all tend from the republican camp.
The New Eogland states are no excep>
ton to the rule. In lows for years the
republican vote has been steadily cut
down, while the democratic vote has been
increased. The Youngest voter can re-
member when Iowa gave a republican
majority Of 10000. From that one
sided expression the republican majority
has been.cut down until bare election Is
all the record shows. This year the
changes have been both rapid and nota-
BILE. The most ardent republican in the
state Is not talking of majorities--he is
working desperately to save his ticket,
with small chance OF doing that.
