The next Legislature in New Jersey
will have but seven Democrats on
JOINT ballot. Only once before in the
history Of the State was there such a
defeat Of Democratic legislative can
didates as took place on Tuesday AZ
ter the exposure OF the race track and
other legislative frauds, the Republic
cans in 1896 elected seyenty-four legis-
lators. In that year, however, the
Democrats had but three Senators and
four Assemblymen, while the.numbers
are just reversed this time, there be-
ing four Democratic Senators, and
three Democratic Assemblymen in the
Legislature Of 1906 There we're eight
Senators to elect Tuesday and seven
Of the Republicans we're elected. The
only survivor Of the Democratic list is
Johnston Cornish, OF Warren county.
The Democrats elected only three cam
didates These will represent War
rem. Sussex and Hunterdon counties.
The new members will be ia the ma
jority % the House, as there will be
forty-one Of them. Oneof the great
asst surprises Of Tuesday was the cleo
ton Of the entire Hudson county As

1t must be quite discouraging to the
Democrats in New Jersey to 90
through the motions Of nominating
and electing a Legislature year after
year, Only to wake up in the morning
after to find that they were not in it.
This year for the thirteenth eonsec-
utiye election they have been beaten
and the matter goes from bad to
worse. so far as they are concerned.
The minority has not been so small
since 1897, when but four Democrats
were left in the House In l90l-02
the Democratic representation in the
Senate was but four Senators, the
same number they have for the con-
ing year
The Democrats might as we'll quit
nominating and make it unanimous,
for they never did have much luck IN
the Legislature, and what little they
had has deserted them. The old lead
ers have died OF become superannu-
ated and no new ones have appeared.
The party does not grow in a healthy
way The long series of defeats are
enough to destroy its attraction for
young men, even if it were not con-
Quoted solely as an opposition to the
majority party
1t has not originated any policy or
proposed anything of a constructive
character for many years. A party
cannot be successful that'otlers imita-
tion or propositions to pull down and
destroy only.
Since 1851 the Democrats have had
control of both houses of the LegisIa-
ture only ten sessions. They have had
a majority in the Senate only twelve
sessions and In the House eighteen
sessions, but these events have become
largely matter Of tradition, it is so
long since there was a Democratic
Senate or House. Men outlive their
peroid Of political activity in thirteen
years and new generation appears.
The Democrats who were active m
the early nineties are now too old TO-
go back, and no competent men are
appearing to succeed them
The greatest strength the Demo-
cratic party has even shown in this
State was in the Gubernatorial cleo
ton Of 1904, when they stood up to be
counted and showed a total Of l79, 9l9,
in total vote Of 432, AS, The Repub-
lican total vote Of '04 was 231 1863, a
over the Democrats Of 1644.
The side issue candidates polled p, 356
among them, but to the total voting
strength Of the State the Democrats
had but fraction over forty per cent.
and something less on the Presidential
vote.
The distribution of the Democratic
vote enables the party co secure a !
small minority representation, but not I
to be seriously considered in
legislation, and that minority seems
10 be fading

LOOKING at the Democratic plat
form in the light Of the result reminds
one Of the party who failed in business
and remarked that he had 4. lost every
thing but honor" a man who knew
his business methods remarked that
he had come out Of his trouble with
mighty few assets. And SO our op-
ponents can take comfort IN the fact
that they have lost nothing in the
way Of principles.
