notable from u political point of view
OF course the fight in New York state
against Hearst oyershadowed every
thing else in the way of popular inter-
est.
Hearst Lost Everywhere.
Moro thar that, Hearst was singular
, unsuccessful everywhere. His per-
eonal political crony, John B. Moran,
he noisy district attorney of Boston,
was beaten out Of his boots for gov-
rno of Massachusetts. The Hearst
ticket In Chicago was left out of sight.
n a similar fate befell his candidate
for governor in California. If Mr..
Hearst chooses to be a candidate for
The presidency, which is something he
has declared owe his w signature he
will not take under consideration, he
will not be able to go before a demo-
cratic national convention with any
thing in the way of a clean bill OF
health so far as Tuesdays election is
concerned.
So far as national affairs are con-
erned, the thing in Tuesdays election

interest, aside from the Hearst defeat,

NC republicans of Missouri predicted
that the state was unalterable in it's

elected a republican to the United
states senate and then sat down and

But they will glory no more. The
mysterious Stranger did not come to

Republicans Gain in Senate.
Late returns indicate an unexpected
gain for the republicans in the limited
states senate. Out of Colorado comes
the news that the legislature is almost
certainly republican. This means the de-
TEA of Senator Patterson. He was the
one democrat In the senate who dared

Welt and his policy. He stood bv the

The term of w. 4. Clark. the r,,,,ti-
millionaire of Montana, expires newt
March. AT one time he said he would
not be a candidate for reelection h,,t

Glum Outlook for Dryden.
There will be a change in the per-
sonnel or the senate from New Jersey.
The opposition to Senator Dryden. the

New Mexico will remain outside Of the
fold for many years to come.
Inc chances are hat no republican
will ropos statehood
for them until they get down on their
knees and ask for it. The United States
is surely republican for MANY
ear to come, so that the prospect Of
statehood for Arizona and New Mex
leo is extremely remote, no matter what
might be the result of the next presi-
Dental election.
Several Big Lights Go Out.
Tuesdays elections retired from pol
tiles several OF the best known me

representatives. Wadsworth of Now

of Wisconsin and Lacey of Iowa will
be on the rolls when the clerk calls

gress. Wadsworth's case is more or
