mony 10 Assured-"WhIp" Dwight's
Valuable Services

Washington, Jan. 16.-lssulng an
ultimatum to the insurgents" to the
effect that the only proof of their Re-
publicism he would accept was attend
ance upon party caucuses and the
breaking Of their alliance with the
Democrats, President Taft has now
succeeded in ending the bitter party
war that threatened the very life of
the party in power. -
For the remainder of the present
session. unless something entirely I'M
foreseen shall arise, "stand pat" and
''insurgent" Republicans will enter par
ty caucuses together, decide upon
party politics and action and abide by
the decisions. President Taft insists
upon this and the insurgents" have
yielded.
To Taft belongs the chief credit for
patching up the difficulties that had
widened so alarmingly in the Repub-
Iican majority of the house Next to
the president, Representative Dwight
Of New York, the Republican whip"
of the house, Is receiving praise for
the accomplishment of peace. 1t was
he who first suggested caucuses and
obtained the adherence of the speaker
and the president to that plan. A
share of the credit is also due TO Rep
resentative Hayes of California, the
leader OF the insurgents, through
whom the president carried on prac-
tically all his negotiations with those
men.
1t was upon the immediate issue
namely, the elections of six men to
represent the house on the committee
which Is 10 investigate the interior
department and the forestry bureau

reached, but II goes further than that.

when Dwight. in his capacity OF
whip" undertook to bring shout
peace and please everybody cen

Assured by Elections He'll

BATTLE OF STATE ofFleALs
Ii Results Ia Their Success, bas hy
Reduced Majorities-Ranlss Will De
Augmented by Poll of Scotlana
and WaIes-Burns Scores Notable
Victory After Defeat Had Been Pre-
dicted by Pessimistic Friends

London, Jan. 1S.-At the conclu-
sion of Mondays polling in the gener-
al elections the parties stood as fol
lows: Unionists, 90; Liberals, II;
Laborites, 49, Nationalists, 10. Net
gain for the Unionists, 20.
The government Jared much bet
ter than their most ardent supporters
expected. The Unionists gained 10
seats, the Liberals four and the La
bOrites one, making a net gain for
the Unionists for the day of IA, one
less than they gained at fewer cleo
lions on Saturday.
This practically assures the return
of the Liberals to power with a fair
majority, for among the places still
to poll are those in Scotland and
Wales, which are always solidly Lib
eral.
There cannot be said to have been
many surprises. Some expected that
John Burns, president of the local
government board, would be defeat
ed, but pessimism has been present in
every election since Burns has been
a candidate.
Other state officials who had to
fight for their seats and were sue
cessful, were Augustin Birrell, chief
secretary for Ireland, G. E. Hob
house, financial secretary to the
treasury, and T. ]. MacNamara, sec
rotary to the admiralty. Their ma
jorities were considerably reduced.
In fact this happened all through
the country, the huge mxjorities Sc
cured in 1906 showing big reductions
in almost all cases. Indeed. many OF
the Liberals who became members Of
the house Of commons by grace Of
the landslide that year, have been
sent back to private life.
Polling will take place today for 40
members, IA in London and 80 in the
provinces.
John Burns OF Battersea comes
back to parliament with flying colors.
Although in the great landslide of
1906 he won by 1900 votes, his nor
NAL majority is about 200. and In
Mondays hard-fought battle he beat
A. s.. Benn. the Unionist. by SIS.
Defeat has been predicted for
Honest" John perenially during the
past decade, and Burns ana his
friends were considerably frightened
this year. Since the most picturesque
figure In Westminster was sent to the
house Of commons by the enthusiastic
support of the workingmen and So
cialists of his home district - their
spokesman, and since he held posi-
tons Of increased responsibility he
has gradually outgrown his old radical
ideas.
John Burns OF today Is q vastly diff
ferent politician from the old John
Burns, who exhorted the working
men in Trafalgar square to rise
against the police. He has become
one of the most conservative OF LIB
erals.
John Burns has so far outlived his
famous dictum that no man can hon
estly earn more than $4,000 yearly.
He holds a $40, 900 position and is
likely to be promoted to a SIS, 200
position, although his style of living
as modest as ever.
