Much Importance properly is attach
ID to the results of Tuesdays cleo
| lions, Notwithstanding the fact that
they were limited to a few States and
a number of cities. With some excep-
tons, the voters showed a full appre-
citation of the issues presented to them.
| Tom Johnson has been elected mayor
| of Cleveland for the fourth time,
though by a reduced plurality, over the
| Republican candidate, Congressman
Burton. Though the traction issue
was kept to the front in the campaign,
doubtless the general results of Mayor
| Iohnson's efforts to improve and broad
en- the scope of the municipal service
| had much to do with his success. His
notable victory, together with the strik-
| lllS ueltdl VI tuc
ticket in New York, brings Johnson
conspicuousIy to the front In Demo
cratic national politics
| The reform candidates won splen-
did victory in San Francisco. District
| Attorney Langdon is reelected and
will continue his work of prosecuting
grafters of high and low degree. In
| Salt Lake the American party has
| overthrown the mormon element, thus
loosening the strange hold Of the
church on Utah politics. An important
development was the desertion of the
church candidates by thousands Of
mormon voters, who do not desire
longer to mix politics with their relig-
| ion.
Kentucky has elected Wilson, Re-
publican, for Governor. Not since Tay-
| Tor was unseated after the murder OF
| Goebel has that State had Republi-
can executive. Maryland apparently
demonstrated the effectiveness Of its
law to smother the negro vote by elect
ing Democratic governor over the
Republican candidate. Rhode Island
has reelected its Democratic governor,
Higgins, but its peculiar election laws
have permitted it to return another
strong Republican legislature.
BY no means the least striking feat
ure of the election was the sweeping
success Of prohibition in Illinois dis
| tricts which took advantage of the
new local-option law to vote on the
| question of saloons. The results prove
that the people in many parts of the
State want protection from the evils
Of liquor selling.
