Washington, d. CA political rev.
olution, which has shattered tradi-
ton and deluged Republicans under
a tidal wave of Democracy has swept
the country. It has upset the prece-
dents Of generation, changed the po-
litical complexion of the national
house of representatives and, perhaps,
presaged the outcome Of the national
political fight in 1912.
The full and effective result was not
realized until sober second thought
turned to a consideration of the out
come.
The Socialists made amazing gains,
electing at least one of their party to
congress. He will be the first Of that
political propaganda to sit in the ma
tional house. He is Victor L. Berger
of Milwaukee.
With the machinery of the govern
ment in the hands of the Democrats,
two far-reaching results are in view;
the election Of Representative Champ
Clark of Missouri, or some other Dem
ocratic speaker, and the possible re-
vision of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
in the Sixty-second congress.
