at large. as affecting the Legislature
and State ticket, the liquor issue
was the big factor. Practically, it
has been proposed TO enforce pro-
hibition by the perpetuation of a
State constabulary that deprives
municipalities of their rights of self
government To this proposition
Mr.. Littlefeld was firmly commit
ted. He has been leader Of prohi-
bitiOn sentiment, sponsor-in-chief
for Governor Cobb and the Sturgis
liquor law. Against him, therefore,
was directed the anti-prohibition
sentiment as well as the wrath of
organized labor.
In three Congressional districts
of the State the voters showed per
feet ability to slash the Republican
State and legislative tickets with
out especially damaging the candi-
dates for Congress. The revolt
against Republican legislative poll
cies was Statewide and effective;
the Democrats almost carried the
Legislature, OF which nobody had
dreamed. BY far the severest eff
fects of the bolt were felt by Mr..
Littlefie-d. 1t would appear, com
pairing the district with the others,
that the labor movement and the
anti-prohibition feeling were about
equally influential factors in the
general revolt.
Samuel Gompers and his allies
may Wen feel gratified over their
achievement. They made good. they
did better than anybody expected.
They started a fight on Littlefield
because of his persistent opposition
to measures IN which they were in
terested, and they found that the
whole power of the Republican
party was ready to back him.
With no real claim on the party
as a party man-for he has never
been one-Littlefeld commanded

obtain as fair a measure as possible
of the support which jobbing houses
in those commodities can reason
ably expect. If the retail dealers
in hats and caps, boots and shoes,
and dry goods are in earnest, they
will not hesitate TO affirm that fact
in the form of pledges to give local
jobbing houses every reasonable
consideration.
But the movement must not stop
there. That opportunity, important
as it may be, is only a part of the
larger opening to expand our whole
sale trade. The Times has urged
more than once that it lies in the
direction of increasing the trade OF
the wholesalers already established.
Today the attitude of the local
retailer is generally that he must
buy his goods from foreign jobbers.
Some of the very firms which are
most active in the Greater Wash

their printing done in other cities.
