In the general roundup of the late
lamented national election, there are
are a few things to console us along
with the many disappointments.
BRYAN carried the solid south and in
addition secured Nebraska by about
5000, and Oklahoma by 10000.
Missouri was perhaps the greatest
surprise of the election, giving Had
lev. the Republican candidate for
governor 10, 900 majority, and TAFT
plurality OF 3, 800. Stone also won
out in Missouri over Gov. Folk for
the senate. Indiana, Ohio and Min
nesota were among the republican
states that elected democratic gov
ernors. 1t is also evident that the
republicans will control both branch
es of the national legislative body,
but BY much reduced majority.
Ioe Cannon was again reelected and
will probably be the next Speaker.

THE election over, public interest
is directed TO the next national event
of Importance, which will be the
assembling of congress. There is
much talk about tariff legislation,
with the generally expressed opinion
however, that the circumstances do
not favor radical changes. 1t is
thought probable that with Speak
er Cannon returning with the vindi-
cation of a large popular majority
from his district, and MIR. Dalzell OF
Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Payne, OF
New York all reelected, and all
stand.patters, tariff reform will have
as usual, hard road to travel. In
the senate the conditions will not be
more favorable. As usual Hale, A.
drich. Burrows and other stand-pat-
ters will remain firm against any
important change in the various
schedules. The demand for revision,
of course, COMES chiefly from the
west and south.

part. or 1,191 ,4SS cubic yards,
