4 POLITICAL REVOLUTION NOW MOVING FORWARD.

The more one contemplates the election results of last week the more 1t becomes apparent that the Repub- ncan party reached the heyday of its strength a year ago and that now that party is fast losing its hold on the people. The vote cast last week when compared with the vote for Roose- yeIt year ago discloses a revolution of political sentiment hardly ever squalled in this country. Pennsylva- nia, which gave Roosevelt over half 3 million majority last year now turns md gives a Democratic candidate for state treasurer a majority of 100, 900.
 Roosevelt's plurality in Ohio was more than a quarter of a million last rear. That majority was wiped out -ast week and a Democrat elected governor by a majority of 10000.
 The Republican candidate for gov ernor was elected in Massachusetts, uut the candidate for lieutenant-gov- ernor has a beggarly 20O0 on the face of the returns. Roosevelt had 92,000 n Massachusetts last year.
 What a political revolution it wasi Who would have believed that such amazing changes could take place within year?
 Republicans try to explain that Jlere were no issues affecting the Eolicies of the country, but that the rasult only showed that in certain
 7calities people had tired of the 7 losses and turned them down. ire spective of politics This is true as Far as it goes, but the voting showed mat the people had fired of other things as well; they are tired of grating and they are tired cf a party hat stifens its neck and refuses to listen 10 the demand for reforms, the 4ck of which is fast placing the in- tustries of this country in the hands of few men. The people are grow ing sick and tired of the cry of stand sat" whenever it is suggested that the robber tariff be revised and all pro- Csction taken from articles sheltered by monopoly; they are tired of the promise year after year by the Repub- t-cans that laws are to be enforced md enacted for the control of the trusts and the protection of the peo- pie against these financial monsters.
 r. fc h1 bosses against whom the people are turning, but it will be found that they are fast facing about to rebuka all manner of grating 1n government positions. The Republican party is a shining mark for @ people who seek % destroy political corruption and those who uphold it. The exposing of high grating during the past year has been amazing. and every time the searchlight has been turned some high priest of the Republican party has been found to have a finger in the pie.
 In the Equitable scandal Depew vas a prominent figure, and follow ing the insurance investigation we ind that these companies have been making themselves solid with the Republican party by large campaign contributions. In the unearthing of the timber land frauds of the north west we find Senator Mitchell of Ore gon convicted of a reFony. Over in Kansas we find a Republican United States senator staggering under many indictments for using his influence in Washington for many shady transac- uons. The Republican party as a whole Is the type. of political pirate against whom political sentiment is rapidly growing. and this sentiment we believe has reached & headway already which insures the wiping out of the Republican majority in con gress next year. which will be fol- lowed by the election of a Democratic President in 1908.
