landslide overwhelmed the Democratic
party in the elections held in several States last
week. Throughout Illinois the issue was made
principally on local issues The A. p. A. did
not figure prominently, except at Galesburg
where the Citizens ticket, which was supported
by that organization, carried every ward
Where party lines were drawn at all, the Re-
publcans show substantial gains.
Local opinion, and not the A. P. A., was the
principal issue in village and town elections in
Minnesota.
Municipal elections were held in Colorado,
though few towns organized before the ad-
mission of the State, held their elections.
1t was the first opportunity for the women to
cast their ballots in other than school elections,
and the reports indicate that their vote was
heavier than had been anticipated. Denver
suburbs went Republican, as did also Colorado
Springs and Pueblo, but the mining camps gen.
orally elected Peoples party tickets
Arkansas generally elected the Democratic
ticket. In Lincoln Neb, the Republicans
elected the entire city ticket; elsewhere the
issues were high license or prohibition.
The principal interest involved in municipal
elections throughout Kansas was in the special
effort made by the equal suffragists to call out
a heavy woman vote, because of the influence
it would have on the vote for the equal suffrage
amendment to the Constitution at the Novem-
Der election. Returns from points where
straight party fights were made show heavy
Republican gains without single exception.
The election in Helena. Mont, was signal
victory for the Republican party, their candi-
date for Mayor having plurality of 100 But
its most significant feature was the astonishing
strength developed by the Popuists, the can
didate of that party for Mayor coming in sec
ond. good 100 votes ahead of the Democratic
nominee.
In Milwaukee the Republicans were unsuc-
cessful. 1t is apparent that the A.P.A. were
at the polls in full strength, the Republican
majorities in Republican wards showing large
increase. The vote polled is the largest of any
municipal campaign ever held In Milwaukee.
The Republicans elected their full ticket at
Yankton, S. d., and elected all but one of the
members OF the Council. At Wahpeton, N. d..
which is nominaly Democratic, the Repub-
licans were victorious by large majority.
In Ohio the elections nearly all went Repub-
lican, although only local elections. Cincin-
natl elected Republican Mayor, and Cleve-
land went Overwhelmingly Republican. The
returns from Dayton show Democratic victory,
while Toledo elected the entire Republican
ticket. The returns from Ohio's smaller cities
and towns all indicate Republican gains over
last Springs election, and are sure index OF
how the State will 60 this Fall.
In Rhode Island Brown, Republican candi-
date for Governor was elected by 5000 plu-
rality, and the Republicans made clean
sweep of the Assembly.
The town elections in Langland almost in
variably went Democratic.
In Kansas City the AP.A. and the Catholics
came into conflict Shooting was general. 1t
was walk-oyer for the Republicans.
