THE CONGRESSIONAL VOTE.

According to the figures compiler
by the New York Tribune the tota
vote for Republican candidates fol

for the Democratic candidates 5,195..
s2s. In 1906 the Republican total was
5.547 ,2Ss, and Democratic I.7G2.0s5
The Republican plurality. which IN
1904 was 1.66S.524, was only 7s5. 202
in 1906. In other words. it was NOR,
than cut in two.
Notwithstanding the immense loss
the Tribune argues that the Republi
can party is as strong today as It has
been Ia any other time since 1896
when there was a process of readiust
ment 1t is quite true that a presi
dental campaign brings out a larger
vote than is thrown in other years
and so larger majority In that year
Is 10 be expected. But IL is TO he oh
served that the Republicans in 1906
got considerably smaller per cent o.
the vote cast for congressman than in
1904. and this shows that. measured
by the congressional electors alone
the party was weaker In he later than
In the earlier year.
So far as the personal popularity
OF Mr.. Roosevelt is concerned. It is
best shown by the vote cast for him
in 1904. in which year he had a pIur
atty of 2.54l 63e over Parker This
was nearly 900 900 more than The con.
gressional plurality. No doubt the
popularity of MIR. Roosevelt added to
the vote for Republican congressman
in 1904. but so il did In 1906. The
cry was everywhere 10 sustain the
president, and II vas 50 indiscrimin-
ating that 4 helped some Of those who
were the presidents enemies. The
great plurality for Republican con
