The Result.

The triumph of the machine at
Dayton was expected. It's power
is one of the arguments against its
right to live. For months and
years a United States senator has
been using all the influences of his
high office to build up a personal
following and he has succeeded.
1t is this that inspired the fight
against him the knowledge that
this man was engaged in syste-
matte effort to achieve domi-
nancy in the Republican party,
and make lis will the rule of it's
action.
The idea Of fighting anybody
but Republicans who didn't bow
to his dictation never entered his
mind, In the pursuit of this cold
blooded purpose he has succeeded.
He has been made chairman.
