The Sufragists' Election.

Judging from all reports the womens
election In Pittsburg Monday was a
frost. Instead of the 1000 or more
ballots that were expected only 64S
we're recorded on the tally sheet,
though this number does not represent
the total of the votes dropped into the
boxes. An unreported number Of vot-
ers got so badly mixed in marking
their ballots that the judges could not
by any stretch Of conscience record
them. Some were so liberal in their
views that they tried to vote for both
candidates at once. Others made an
effort to ring in candidates Of their own,
one young woman insisting upon ex-
pressing a preference for celebrated
base ball player. whom she deemed more
worthy TO be the governor Of the COM
monwealth than any of the regularly
nominated men. Taken altogether it
seems that the women Of Pittsburg did
not regard the election as a golden
opportunity to demonstrate their abil-
ity to exercise the franchise. 1t was
hard to get them to leave their do
mestic duties and their card parties
and calls and shopping and motion pic
ture trips for the fun Of putting mock
ballots into a mock ballot box in a
mock election. The experiment GER
tainly did not prove to be an effective
argument for the extension of the suf-
frage to women. but ii was better than
some OF the English practices that have
brought the cause Of equal suffrage
into disfavor in many quarters.

cans have lost ten seats, those of Bever-
idge of Indiana, Burkett Of Nebraska,
Carter of Montana. Depew Of New York,
Dick Of OHIO, Hale of Maine. Kean of
New Jersey, Nixon OF Nevada, Scott of
West Virginia and Warner of Missouri.
The democrats have held their own at
all points. This means a net republican
loss of ten seats. bringing them down to
forty-eight seats in the next Senate, as
against forty-three democratic seats,
with one vacancy probably to be filed
by republican. thus giving at the pres
ent writing a prospect Of a Senate COM
posed Of forty-nine republicans and for
ty-three democrats. There remain posi-
bilities for further changes in Wyoming.
California. Washington and Utah, from
which there are now republican senators.
Should all four Of these seats be lost to
the republicans their present absolute
republican. would be cut down to a
minority, with the Senate standing for
ty-five republicans and forty-seven demo-
Gratis.
Assuming that the republicans have
lost the ten seats already mentioned, and
fill the Iowa vacancy themselves, thus
possessing a party majority of six, it be-
comes possible for any four insurgent
senators to control the situation The
political possibilities of such combine
ton are infinite. Tariff legislation even
becomes possible. although, of course.
subject to presidential veto. The re-
organization Of committees is among the
conceivable contingencies Of this narrow
ing of the party margin in the upper
house. But the most important result of
the voting yesterday as 1t affects the
Senate is that almost assuredly the
democrats secure a majority of the 1917
class of senators, giving them distinct
advantage in the fight for the control of
the Senate in the elections of 1912. when
they will be called upon to defend twelve
seats against nineteen republicans, with
at least half a dozen points of possible
gain under democratic conditions. 1t will
require heavy republican trend in 1912
to restore that party to assured control
of the upper house of Congress.

Political Revolution.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Seized by the heels in it's very cradle.
the new nationalism' has been pitched
into its grave, Theodore Roosevelt has
been somewhat loudly adms nished that,
whether now or in 1912, his own state
and other eastern states have as little
use for him as for his doctrines. and
the republican party has been put on
notice that the people never for one
moment mistook a broken pledge for q
downward revision. 1t is, indeed, one of
those great political revolutions like that
of 1882 in this state, and that ct 1884,
1880. and 1892 in the nation. by which the
people who, for hslf century, have gen
orally favored the republicans with their
confidence, are accustomed to declare
their independence of party ties and to
punish the custodians Of power for be-
trayals of their interests and disobedf-
ence to their will by intrusting the Offices
to the other party. The punishment i'm
posed this year has been exemplary.

The Stars Election Bulletins.

The Star was pleased last night to en-
tertain SO large a multitude of Washing
tonians with its election bulletins. Having
made every possible preparation for a
complete collection Of returns from all
the points Of interest and their most sat
isfactory reproduction on the screens, 1t
was more than repaid for its efforts by
the size and appreciative attention of the
crowd that gathered at the corner of 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue. Devot-
ing itself strictly 10 the business Of CIV
ing the news of the elections, 1t confined
itself to the bulletins Of the balloting, with
occasional illustrations by means Of por-
traits and cartoon comments on the trend
of things. There was an abundance of
material for display. The returns from
New York and Massachusetts, came as
early as did the first corners on the street
In front Of the screens. and they continued
In an unceasing now until long after
midnight.

Yesterdays General Result.

If proyed TO be q democratic year
What had for months been in the all
descended to earth, walked to the poiis
and pumped for the democratic party
The result is impressive, and will be In
terpreted in a variety of ways. The VIC
tors will not be as one about It's sig
niffcance or the mandate conveyed. The
vanouished will wrangle among them
selves as to the responsibility for the
singing disaster. For awhile We shall
all find il difficult to sort out the differ.
emit opinions expressed, and get line or
this latest edition of what is what in the
political world.
But there are few things so plain they
require no time for digestion. The re-
publicans have been defeated, and some
prominent men in the party are likely to
disappear from the scene for good few
are too old to come back. Others are SO
involved in the wreck they appear to be
hopelessly injured
The democrats are triumphant, though
not everywhere as the result of inherent
strength. They profited greatly from re-
publican divisions Their tickets, state
and congressional. poled many repub-
lean votes. In office the party must hold
this support in order to have a future
Undoubtedly an effort will be made to do
this. The conservative leaders will coun-
sci caution at every STEP keeping an eye
on the business world as we'll as on the
everyday political world The task will
be test of the wisest and firmest
democrats in the country, in Office and
out
There are many business men to whom
the result in its congressional feature is
most welcome. And all of them do not
reside in New York. They have desired a
Congress divided against itself. Their
plans have in part been laid in the
hope of a brief rest at least in the mat
ter of national legislation. They have
contended that we have been going too
fast as to problems vital to business in
terests; that halt and a calm look
around will do everybody good.
Well, in some measure a halt has been
decreed. y democratic House stands
against republican Senate, with q re-
publican President sitting at the other
end OF the Avenue with the veto power
in his hand. A presidential election ap-
proaches, and both sides will be maneu-
vering for position. No extreme meas

The Next Senate.

Some time ago. Immediately after the
Maine election. IL became apparent that
the heavy republican majority In the
Senate was menaced. The substitution
Of a democrat for Hale was regarded as
a portent of at least the SUFFICIENT cut
ting Of the republican margin in the up
per house of Congress to give the in
surgent group the balance of power In
that body. 1t remained mathematically
possible at that time for the democrats
to carry enough senatorial seats to cap
ture the organization.
The present Senate consists Of Nifty
eight republicans and thfrty-three DEM
ocrats, with one republican seat. that
OF Dolliver of Iowa. vacant or the
fifty-eight republicans, twenty-four are in
the 1911 class. eighteen in the 1913 class
and sixteen in the 1915 class. OF the
democrats. six are In the 1911 class
twelve In the 1913 class and Afteen In
the 1915 class. Thus the republicans
have been called upon this year to de-
fend twenty-four seats as against six

The PEOPLES Pulse.

Probably many Of those who watched
the election bulletins last night had
sufficient perspective of years to re-
member the days when voting returns
were not conveyed. by telegraph or pro-
jected by electric stereopticons by means
Of typewriter celluloid films. The elder
residents of Washington doubtless recall
how in their youth they waited from day
to day to learn the name of the next
President or to know the probable COM
plexion of the next Congress.
The electric telegraph was perfected in
1887 and it was some years before 1t came
into sufficient use commercially to IA
cilitate the gathering of election news.
AS late as 1855 voting returns were sent
many miles by courier even in the popu-
lous Atlantic seaboard states. while the
civil war found the great west. beyond
the Mississippi river, almost wholly un-
equipped with wires. The gathering of
official information about the voting was
a matter Of weeks instead of hours.
The result in New York was assured
asst night as early as o'clock. three
hours after the polls had closed. Shrewd
estimators of elections knew as early as
6;3O that Dix had triumphed. This
promptness Of reporting was due to the
use Of voting machines. which automatic
cally record and proclaim the totals from
vote to vote, so that when the last bal
lot is cast, that Is to say when the last
voter has pulled the lever, it is apparent
to the judges of election precisely how
many votes have been cast for each cam
didate on the various tickets.
Doubtless few OF those who watch the
bulletin screens in front of newspaper
office on election night realize the won
derful organization and coordination of
elements permitting the prompt reporting
to them of the returns from all parts of
the country. The announcement that
twenty-seven precincts in Indianapolis
show net republican loss of 81 from
the vote of two years previous may be of
slight passing interest, but 1t is the re-
suit of a remarkable system Of newsgath-
ering, In which an army of workers is
enlisted. Back and forth across the coun-
try run wires belonging to the telegraph
and telephone companies and the news
associations. From city roofs stretch an.
tennae for wireless communications. On
election night an untold amount of cleo
trio energy Is expended In vibrations that
send surging across the land in every di-
vection the pulsations that tell the story
OF how the citizens Of this country have
denoted their preferences for public Of
fee.
In these conditions suspense is only
matter Of a few hours. The essential sig.
nificance OF this highly organized system
OF newsgathering is that the millions Of
people who comprise this nation are kept
intimately In communion with their own
AFFAIRS on the broadest possible plane. The
almost instantaneous gathering and pro-
claiming Of election news is in the last
analysis guarantee of stable govern
ment.

The Unstable Quantity.

The world upon its axis stout
Keeps rolling just the same.
No matter who it Is steps out
Or who comes in the game.
The cheers will buoyantly resound
AS in that other day:
And the brass band will come around
The same old tunes to play.
The echoing of the drums is strong;
The brass is loud and clear,
The chorus of the same old song
Is lifted far and near.
But as the years go drifting out
We note with hearts aflame
The man of whom they sing and shout
Is seldom twice the same,

y York Sun

From the New YORK sun.
A good many millions Of Americans
must have thought and thought kindly
of william II. Taft last night. Well,
1t was not his funeral. He retains. and
we cannot imagine his ever losing, the
respect of his countrymen. He has been
shamefuliy used and shamefully be-
trayed; but his patience, his forbear-
ance, his Justice, his modesty. his calm
ness, his unselfshness, all the moral
and all the mental qualities by which he
SO differs from his predecessor, are not
lost upon the American people. They like
William II. Taft. They wish well to him
and his administration. We don't know
how they could show It more forcibly
in spite Of Mr.. Tafts characteristicaliy
generous advice. than by voting agains,
his most extreme opposite and his most
treacherous and dangerous enemy. No
body has anything against the master
of the house because the devil had to be
driven out OF 1t.

Tennessee.

Fusion won in Tennessee. 1t required
sand to stand out against party appeal
at such q time, but many democrats ex-
hibited possession of the article, and gave
the republican candidate fer governor
the victory. He is worthy of the Office,
and should serve well in 1t. Though de-
feated for governor, Mr.. Taylor will re-
main in the Senate. He was too snrewd
a politician to let go of the bird i'm his
