The terms of % [. s. Senators expire on March 4th next. Of the retiring thirty. 24 are Republicans. In the present Senate, the Republican major ity is 24. The Democratic party must hold the six seats now occupied by Democrats whose terms expire. and must gain 14 of the A Republican seats. in order to control the Senate It is possible, though hardly probable. that such Democratic gains can be made, but it is possible that enough gains will be scored to enable a Dem ocratic-Progressive combination to carry through measures demanded by public sentiment. Then. with a con- curing House, President Taft would be compelled to "show his hand", and to reveal whether he is a standpatter or a Progressive. At present, he can- not be classed definitely as either.

Dr. Crippen who was to be hanged in London today for the murder of his wife but whose execution has been postponed for two weeks, could not probably have been convicted in this country The evidence against him was wholly circumstantial, and not nearly conclusive. That the frag- ments of a body found in the house formerly occupied by him were those of his wife. was not proven, nor was it even proved beyond dispute that they were those of woman. Amer jean juries would not have convicted upon such evidence. even though the presiding judge had charged as deci- sively against an accused as did Lord

BANKER NEWTON CASTS HIS FIRST
 DEMOCRATIC VOTE
Well-KnOwn WaIIingford Citi- zen Says He Cannot Stand
 For Republican Corruption
 and Use of Money in Politics

Wallingford. Nov. S.-Something of the sentiment existing among a large number of Republicans here, and from reports it is only reflection of the feeling all over the State. William H. Newton, cashier of the National Bank of Wallingford and one of Walling- ford's foremost citizens. came out last night with a short and dignified statement that he will vote for Judge Baldwin. Mir. Newton's statement follows:
 T have never voted the Democratic ticket, but this year I feel it my duty for the good of Connecticut to vote for Judge Baldwin for Governor. Thomas l.. Reilly for Congress. and George Hopson from the Twelfth Senatorial district. I feel that the welfare of Connecticut and the cause of good gov ernment will be furthered by this act Of mine. l am against this corruption business and the illegitimate use of money in politics. I am also in favor of direct primaries. Judge Baldwin is the ideal candidate
 It has been known for some time that MT. Newton intended to vote for Judge Baldwin, but it was not until last night that he felt it was his duty to make public through the press his determination to repudiate the Repub- Hcan ticket. MT. Newton was quite serious about the matter. He has been one Of the Staunchest Republicans in the State and only the conviction of corrupt practices in his own party has compelled him to take the stand he has and vote the Democratic ticket for the first time since he cast his first ballot in 1872
 MT. Newton has seven generations of patriotism behind him. His first an- cestor came here in 1885. His great grandfather fought in the Colonial wars and his grandfather saw years of service in the Revolutionary war Both bore the same name, that of Marshal Newton. MT. Newton had also three brothers in the Civil war.
 Amplifying his statement above Mr. Newton declared that his change was brought about through a strong feeling of sentiment He declared it was time to get back to the good old Democratic principles of the forefathers and that the only way to do it was for every Republican of dignity to offer a united d1sapproval of the corrupt proceedings that marked not only the State conven- tion Of the Republicans but also other conventions of the same party this fall

ROOSEVELT THE
 ACTUAL LEADER

The Farmer dislikes to increase the apprehension with which the Repuo- Jcan regulars regard Roosevelt in connection with the campaign of 1912, h,,t suppose that Senators Beveridge ,f Indiana and Lodge of Massachusetts ,hould be reelected. and Messrs. DIX, Harmon and Baldwin should be de- reated for Governors in New York. Ohio and Connecticut, respectively! In zach of these States. Roosevelt has heen active. not always with either truth or reason in his speeches. while President Taft has remained passive and apparently Indifferent. Cannot he Ex-President, and will he not, plaim exsausive credit for Republican victorfss in these five important States. and will not his followers assert that while President Taft of necessity re- mains the titular head of the Repub- lican party, Ex-President Roosevelt has become the active and actual leader and manager of 1t. and the dic- Sator of its policies? In New York pnIy, of the five States. has this mat ter been fully presented. In the other four. it has been neglected.
 But. whether the regulars voted in ignorance of this issue, or were ind1f- ferent, does not matter. Republican victories in these five States. if not also in others. will be hailed as popu- lar endorsements of Roosevelt and his "new nationalism" and may enable him to either name the party's candidate in 1912 or to himself become the nomi- nee.
 The inclusion of endorsements of Taft in conventions controlled by the Republican regulars, and the frequent mention of the President in the speeches of Republican orators, were eefcently intended to offset the activ- fty of Roosevelt and to render plaus- 1olA a claim that Republican successes were due principally to the Presidents ,.seularity and could have been secured without the aid of the Ex-President.
 But this claim will be without effect.

,ALL OVER BUT THE SHOUTIN'."

Its all over but the shoutin'.'' The election of 1910 is of the past, but not necessarily of the dead past, for its results will serve as indications of the trend of public sentiment for future guidance. They will reveal the extent to which Progressive sentiment has also whether it was honest enough to support Democratic candidates and policies or adopted the policy of so- called Progressive Senator Cummins Of Iowa who asserted in a campaign speech. in substance. that the worst Republican was better than the best Democrat. without regard to the prin- ciples represented by either
 This revelation of the growth of Progressive sentiment, and of it's prac- tical effect, will be the most important indication from the election, especially important as to the national issues be- tween the Democratic and Republican parties. It will show either that "standpattism" is to remain the policy of the Republican party or that the Progressive element has so gained in strength as to compel change of the party's policy in Congress and in the Presidential campaign of 1912
 Whatever results may appear, and whatever indications the returns may reveal, this is certain, viz, that neither financial panic nor industrial depres- sion will ensue. On the contrary, with certainty replacing uncertainty politic- ally, business interests may confidently expect improved conditions. The sim gle cloud upon the business horizon is Rooseveltism, with its issue of 'new nationalism." If the strenuous cam paign labors of the EX-President effect results of the nature sought by him in several States. the financial and trust powers may decide that the people need such instruction as might be given by a business depression, but they would most likely prefer to with hold it until a date much nearer the opening of the campaign of 1912.
 But whatever the election results it is our judgment that at least a year of general business prosperity may reasonably be expected.
