ElectIon Results tuesday.

The elections throughout the country
on Tuesday were highly satisfactory from
a Republican standpoint The loss which
was naturally expected in an Off year did
not materalize to any alarming extent
and Kentucky was taken out of the
solid south" Democratic column, the Re-
publican state ticket there being elected
by 1900 majority and Louisville electing
a Republican mayor. Party lines were
broken by the introduction of the pro-
hibition issue and by factional fights
among the old-line Democrats who re-
scented Gov. Beckham's dictatorial meth
ods The legislature will be Democratic
on joint ballot, however, and will prob
ably elect Beckham to the United States
Senate.
