EFFECTS OF THE BALLOTING

One result OF the election in Massachusetts, is
that the number OF recognized political parties i'm
that commonwealth has been increased from two
to four The vote in favor of the Prohibition party
reached total much beyond the necessary 4 per
cent required for recognition on the official ballot
The independence League has made showing
even better and their polls give these two parties
formal and regular standing under the law In
Boston the Democracy failed to poll as MANY votes
Tor ITS candidate for governor as the Republicans
rolled up for Governor Guild.
lhis result does not count in elections but il
does diminish the representation of the Boston
Democracy in the conventions OF the party.
Concerning individual candidates. the almost
unprecedented poll for T. Gerry Brown for the
office OF lieutenant governor against Mr. Draper
following the close shave of the latter last year
would seem to raise the question as to the prudence
OF retaining Mr.. Draper as candidate by the Bay
state Republicans as successor to Governor Guild
when he concludes to withdraw from first place on
the ticket, which is likely TO be next year
Mr.. Brown has certainly made good" so far
as his party is concerned. Mr. Draper is far from
having made good as to his party and the party
would seem to have warrant for dropping him from
consideration when it again comes time to make
choice of candidates
There is certainly big mixup in Massachu-
setts as an outcome OF Tuesdays baloting, and
some other states have suffered equal disturbance
