The ADneal to Prejudice.
Hartford Times.)


Those, who had been apprehensive
that the fundamentals of popular
government were TO be swept aside
because of the appeals to prejudice
and passion, have cause for re-assur-
ance because of Tuesdays voting.
Just as in 1896 and 1900, when the
sober common sence ANA old-fashion-
ed honesty of the American people
administered a rebuke to the demo-
cratic organization, so now the same
influences have repudiated the revo-
lutionary policies of Roosevelt who
sought to become his party's leader
throughout the country and to place
himself in a position where, If not
able to seize the presidential nomina-
ton agan for himself, he might place
in nomination some of the rampant
radicals of the midle west.
Business will breathe easy again.
Thert will be no Reputation of the
panic of 1907. Industry, commerce
and finance may look to the future
with confidence. Labor, too, has
cause to congratulate itself on the
outcome.

\ Republican State.
Boston RecorI.)

Massachusetts remains a republican
state without dispute. The state
ticket barring the governor, the leg
islature, large majority of the con-
gressmen, are reelected. The vo-
ting on the head Of the ticket that
elected Foss was done by republicans
1t is a reminder in many respects Of
the year in which Gov. Douglass was
elected over Bates. The epresSions
of regret among republicans THAI
Bates had been defeated have been
heard often enough since 1904, when
the catastrophe occurred. We Won
der if the same comparison will not
be made regarding Draper before
the decade is over.

Not n Personal Rebuke.

Mr.. Roosevelt gave to the campaign
whatever vim and enthusiasm it had,
and the party's defeat is no more a
personal rebuke to him than to Pres
ident Taft or to any of the other prom
inent Republicans. 1t is the party,
rather than any particular individual,
that has been overthrown.

Against One Man Power.
ALBANY Journa1)

The vote by which the Democratic
candidates were elected was cast, act
so much for the Democratic party as
against the one-man power that had
become dominant in the Republican
party. The American people hate die
tatorship. 1t killed William ]. Bryan
in his own party. 1t means the po-
litical death of any man in any party
who attempts It.

Massachusetts has spoken.
The demands of the people of the
old Commonwealth have been voiced
in no uncertain tones.
The election of Eugene N. Foss,
Democrat, as Governor means a great
deal more than a splendid person Al
triumph for him or magnificent
achievement for the Democratic
party.
1t means that the Republican party
is held responsible for the high cost
of living.
1t means that the party has been
severely punished for breaking faith
with the people by the passage of such
an outrageous piece of legislation as
the Paine-Aldrich tariff law, which
imposed an unjust tax on the necessa-
ries of life.
1t means the reputation of Lodge
ism, which is akin to Aldrichism and
Cannonism.
1t means that the power of Henry
Cabot Lodge as the political dictator
of Massachusetts has been broken and
probably ended.
1t means that the retirement Of
Senator Lodge to private life is de-
manded.
1t means that the people of Massa-
chusetts entertained a proper resent
ment of the exhibition of hypocrisy
made by Theodore Roosevelt when he
told them that Senator Lodge was a

Cry For a Square Deal.

1t was a Democratic landslide, if
you like to so call it, but by and
large, it was the voice of a nation
shouting for that very simple propo-
sition comprised in two woris-"a

our first Socialist in the national Con-
gress; that is why we find the slats
washed out and the country ready
to start a new account. That is why
we find the country turning in des-
