Colorado has ~repudinted the populist
doctrine and swung back into the re-
publican column, electing a full repub-
lican ticket and both congressman.

The Democratic States.
So much for the states with repub-
lican pluralitics. Turning to those
Which retain their allegiance to democ-
racy there are still evidences of the
prevailing trend of political opinion.
Arkansas returns II solid democratic
delegation but by reduced pluralitics.
In Kentucky it is possible and even

represented in congress by Nh. Denny,
Il republican.
In Louisiana the democratic plurnli-
