THE r. /. ELECTION
AS OUTSIDERS SEE 1T

From the Springfield Republican,
or the New England results, the Demo-
cratic success in electing a governor OF
Rhode Island once more could be accord
ed national significance only by perver-
sion OF the facts. Local issues, rendered
widely familiar by years OF constant agl-
tation. absolutely controlled the outcome
Governor Higgins reelection Is due to
the feeling that his success rather than
Mr.. Jackson's would be the more effec-
tive blow at Braytonism and also TO the
lukewarm support given To Mr.. Jackson
by the old Brayton element. The very cs-
timable Republican candidate suffered
from the fact that the independent Re-
publicans, who had supported Governor
Higgins the previous year, and also Gov
ernor Garvn in the years of his triumphs,
would not abandon the Democratic cam
ddate for governor while the alliance be-
tween Democrats and independent Repub-
licans in support of Col. Goddard for the
United states senate was still binding
Col. Goddard's failure TO capture the leg
islature is no surprise, in view of the
overwhelming preponderance of the small
towns i'm that body, under the present
constitution. but his two splendid cam
paigns have had an educating influence
that cannot be minimiZed by partisan re-
fections. An adequate constitutional re-
vision I'm the interests of fairer represen-
tation for the cities is now much nearer
achievement.
