Mr.. DOUGLASS ELECTION.
Still Surprises Bay State-Presi-
Dental Boom Started.
Tpr TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BUvE.1

Boston, Nov. 1.-THE State of Massachusetts
has not yet recovered from the surprise occa-
stoned by the election OF William L. Douglas,
the Democratic candidate for Governor. The
newspapers are still discussing it, carrying first
page articles three days after the election The
Herald" to-day out with boom for Mr..
Douglas as the next Democratic candidate for
President, naming Joseph ". Folk for the sec
ond place the ticket for 1908.
A dispatch from St. Louis bore out this idea
Ex-Congrescman Vandiver, who headed the
Folk campaign. quoted saying that Mr..
Douglass amazing victory a platform prac-
tically ignored. if not scorned. by the Demo-
cratic National Committee. brought him almost
to equal prominence with Mr.. Folk. The cleo
ton of one was regarded equally as remarkable
as the election of the other
At Brockton, Mr.. Douglass home. this Presi-
Dental boom is naturally considered with favor
Mr.. Douglas to-day said:
"I have heard nothing of any movement of
this character, and do not care to make any
statement upon such plan. 1 do not care to
get mixed up in national politics at all"
Many of his Brockton townsmen assert that
Mr.. Douglas could carry the country he car
ried Massachusetts. Inc causes for Mr.. Doug
lass election still matter Of discussion.
The successful candidate himself declares that
his election means the first gun In a battle for
reciprocity and tariff relief. It seems to be
generally held here that Governor Bates'S de-
feat due in large measure to his veto of
the overtime bill, his appointment Of Judge
w. H. H Emmons as chairman of the Boston
Police Commission. who proved unpopular; to
the veto of the Veterans Bounty BILL and to
Mr.. Douglass popularity with the working peo-
pie.
The Boston Transcript" deplores Governor
Batess defeat, and lays it TO his betrayal by
the last two legislatures. 1t says editorially
that it was often said last winter that SUE. and
such a bill was intended ito put Bates in a
hole" Mr. Douglass election, in spite of all
this however, remains one of the greatest sur
pTises in Massachusetts politics.

leader. In 1874 she was among the many hun

of the overwhelming defeat suffered by the De-

Only that section Of the country, it is SAID can
be depended for answering and unquestion-
sng support OF the Democratic national ticket
and II is also asserted that the detection Of Mis-
souri, this fall could have been averted had
southerner been the nominee for President
Southern politicians believe that the Democrats
should name one of their number their stand
ard bearer in 1908 This feeling much in
evidence in New-York City in the closing days
of the campaign. Prominent Democrats in pri-
waite conversation discussed with earnestness the
availability Of Senator Bailey, Of Texas, as the
next Democratic candidate for President. de-
South TO assert itself
Representative Hay, of Virginia, one of the
Democratic leaders of the House, to-day gave
expression to the feeling prevailing among
Southern Democrats.
-'I think the time has come he said, for the
South 10 rise in its might and refuse longer TO
follow the dictates of the Northern Democracy
If two Southern men had been nominated at St
Louis the result could not have been worse. In
fact I believe that Missouri and Maryland
would have been found in the Democratic col
umn instead Of boosting the Republican major
fly am in favor OF a Southern man for Pres
ident in 1908, and believe that every Southern
State Will demand this recognition when the
time comes TO nominate standard bearer four
