Views OF the President and Gen. CIarkson
on the Result.
WARRINGTON CITY, Nov. Am evening
paper publishes the following statement,
which, it Is Understood, Is author izsd:
-The president does not regard the defeat
Of the Republican party ia Virginia, Ohio,
and Iowa as involving the administration.
While he is OF course sorry that the result
is as it is, he Is not surprised The result In
Iowa he attributes to the temperance issue
and to the unpopularity OF one Of the candi-
dates with the farmers. He does not take
the responsibility for Mahons's candidacy in
Virginia, but holds that whatever assistance
and support he gave Malone was not more
than be would have given any nominee of
the party. Malone was in no sense person
ally his candidate.
"Ho attributes the result in OHIO to the op-
position OF the voters on general principles
10 the election Of any man to an office for a
third time. He regards IL as a protest
against third term for Foraker and
against tue ilea in general OF a third term.
he does not feel that the voters we're passing
a Vsrdio, upon the national administration
Ret" CIsrh.sn Talks Freely.
First Assistant Postmaster General Clark
son, In giving his views last night n a rep
rsssntstivs OF the United Pres on the re-
suits OF the election, said: The invariabls
results Of the year following n presidential
election have repeated themselves this year
There ars many surprises in the Republican
defeats, but they come from locEl causes In
every state" Mr.. Clsrkson excepted Vir-
ginia, where be claimed that the erection law
made IL possible for the party In power TO
have the vote just what IL wants, and be
claimed that the law was used for all IL was
worth.
How IL Was In Iowa and Ohio.
"The causes operating in Ohio and Iowa
were evidently and mainly a reaction against
radical temperance and Sunday Legislation.
The Sunday law, and the enforcement Of it,
changed Hamilton county and the Germans
against the Republican party and Governor
Foraker, despite bis splendid record and his
almost matches popularity In the party
and the nation, went down with 10. In
Iowa the main cause OF the change is due to
Prohibition. Tue state has been very close
on state issues ever since Prohi bition was
made law. The Republicans elected their
governor four years ago by only /, 500 plu-
raiity and two years ago by 600 plurality.
The counties bordering ON the Mississippi
river, having large cities such as Dubuque,
Davenport and Burlington, all OF them with
a European or foreign born population hold
ing majority OF the votes, are intensely
anti -Prohibition; and they have voted over
whelmingly against the Republican party
because It stood In that state for the law and
Its enforcement
Growing Democratic, Anyhow.
There was also some Republican dissatis-
faction and alienation on account of the pres

road question, and his irritating enforce
