New England Sentiment

There is widespread feeling, in
which thousands of Republicans
share, that the Democratic victories
of last month are an excellent thing
for the country. The striking victo-
ry of Mr.. Foss, as Democratic candl-
date for Governor of Massachusetts,
was not a merely personal affair.
Governor Draper had made an ex.
cellent executive, and the voters
were not expressing disapproval Of
him. New England desires tariff
reciprocity with Canada and policies
more progressive than those that
the Republican party at Washington
has made its own in recent years.
The earlier Democratic victory in
Maine was merely a foreshadowing
of what Massachusetts did last
month. Republican success in New
Hampshire, where Mr.. Bass was
elected Governor by a good majority,
can be attributed to the fact that
this progressive young Republican
was nominated as the result of a
preliminary party house Gaming.
Although Rhode Island was carried
by the Republicans, it should not be
overlooked that the moral victory
was with the Democrats. This is
readily seen when one remembers
that last year Governor Pothier car.
ried the State by a majority Of about
1900. while this year his majority
is less than LOCO. When one further
keeps in mind the total population
of the State, it will be seen that the
shrinkage Of the Republican vote in
Rhode island is incomparably great
er than that in New York. Thus
the people who have been so eager
to say that Roosevelt was rebuked
by the Democratic victory in New
York should be candid enough to ad-
NIT that Senator Hale was far more
decisively rebuked by the Democrat
ic victory in Maine, that Senator
Aldrich was likewise rebuked by the
falling off in Rhode Islands plurali-
ty, that Senator Lodge, by inference.
was repudiated in Massachusetts,
and that Senator Bulkley was un-
