 WIN BIG VICTORY
TARIFF ISSUE UPsETs REPUBLL CAN STRONGHOLD AND ELEcTs TOSS TO coNGREs.


 BROCKTON. March 22.-The politi- cal weather cock turned democrat ward in Massachusetts today. when the Old Colony section, one of the re publican strongholds of the state, placed Eugene Foss of Boston, one of the country's leading opponents of reciprocity with Canada, in the con gressional seat of the late William Lowering. Foss accomplished what is regarded as almost a political miracle. turning a republican plurality of 14,- 250 into a democratic plurality of 5S4O. The vote today was:
 Foss, I4.S90 William R. Buchanan, Brockton, republican. 9340. IL was the most overwhelming defeat the re- publicans have met in Massachusetts since Governor Ba.es was overthrown by William Douglas. six years ago. The result is considered of more than state wide importance, as Foss stumped the Fourteenth District on national questions and the people backed him up with a whoop. It was the first contest in the east to be de cided by the voters since the Payne Aldrlch tariff bill became operative.
