Returns the second day after cleo
ton have simmered down extremely
close to the official figures.
II is now possible 10 gauge with ac-
curacy the exact proportions OF the
Democratic victory. That victory has
been Of even greater proportions than
appeared from yesterdays S returns.
With each hour that has passed since
Tuesday evening. the Democratic ma
jority In the House has increased. It
now appears that wnen the official
figures are finally cast UP it will be
shown the Democrats will be abOu.
ffty-nine ahead Of the Republicans in
the House Of the Sixty-second Con-
gress.
The upheaval the country over was
Of tremendous proportions. The Demo
Gratis elected governors In New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey. Ohio, and perhaps in Oregon and
wyoming, where the situations are
close.
Governor Carroll Safe
They appeared at first 10 have elect
ed Claude r. Porter governor Of Iowa
over Governor Carroll, Republican, but
the latest returns show Carroll has
won
In New York the plurality OF John a.
Dix. the Democratic candidate, is ap-
proximately 62,O0O. Governor Harmon's
exact plurality is still in some doubt
While the Democrats are insisting it
will run to 10000, it will probably fall
considerably below that.
The Democrats have captured the
legislatures Of New York, New Jersey.
Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, West
Virginia, as well as Maine, thus insuring
gain OF eight in the Senate. II IS not
At all unlikely that some Of these Iegis-
natures in the course Of their terms will
be called on to elect two Senators. so
that the Democratic gains In the Senate
may be greater in the long run than ap-
pears on the surface.
Progressiyes' Stronger.
The progressives have come out Of
the contest well. They have suffered
some reverses. For instance, the loss Of
the Indiana Legislature and the conse-
quent loss Of Senator Beveridge IS n
serious blow.
But, on the other hand, they have
gained Poindexter in Washington and
Gronna in North Dakota. both OF whom
are practically certain to come to the
Senate. and both Of whom are stanch
insurgents. 1t is a certainty the insur-
gents VIII be stronger both In the Sem
ate and House Of the SiXty-second Con-
gress than they are now. 1t is to be
expected that the many men who have
been on the fence in Congress up to this
time will now join the progressives.

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.

The following editorial from the
Springfield, ILL.,, Evening News IKE
publican) gives an outside view or the
political situation in Iowa:
The standpatters of the Ninth con-
sgressional district of Iowa are IN
state of merriment over the dilemma
in which Senator Dolliver finds MINI
self in these days of primary cam
paigning in that state. Three years
ago Dolliver delivered an address In
that district in support Of the renomi-
nation Of Senator Allison and large
part of the address was devoted 10
"skining' Cummins, who was at that
time governor of the state. A nun
bred thousand copies of the speech
we're printed and distributed to the
voters of the state. 1t was regarded
ls the most severe excorlatlon the
governor had ever received, and Dolll-
YER was so pleased with it that he re-
peated it in other parts OF the state
ind with each delivery added little
more vitriol to the concoction.
Senator Allison died, Cummins sue
ceeded him in the United States SEN
ate. and since the latter's appearance
In washington, Dolliver has been a
docile servant. But Cummins remem-
hered what Dolliver had done to him
several years ago, and last month d.
-ected that the latter accompany him

the audience, he was made to "eat his
words" while Cummins sat apart and
checked up on his colleague to see
that he made full amends for his for

LEGAL QUlBBLES.

States Attorney Wayman OF Cnlca
10 took position in an address be-
Tore the Illinois States Attorneys as
sociation that will appeal to the lay
mind, no matter how 1t may strike the
legal profession He announced his
Intention of urging the passage OF a
law by the legislature to furnish a
code Of forms of indictment covering
all criminal cases.
Two lines in a newspaper" said
Mr.. Wayman, tell that man Is
charged with bribery In off1ce-that
he has been grating. To tell the
same thing to a Judge according to
law requires fifty pages Of typewriting
and verbiage Of kind that requires
high-priced lawyers to interpret 1t for
the man accused.
"Why," he asks, "can't we have a
set of forms that will permit the Judge
to say that the indictment is according
to statute and that all that remains to
be done is to call a jury and try the
case. Let's say John Jones killed
John Smith, since that is all there Is
involved in case, and let the jury
settle it,"
There is common sense in Wayman's
plan. It is hard for the public to un-
derstand why such bulwark OF SAFE
guards should be built up around Grim
inals. The first step usually taken by
the defense in a criminal case is to
attack the indictment, and In many
cases flaw, due to carelessness OF
some kind, is all that is needed to give
a criminal his liberty. The indictment
should not be placed on trial, but the
criminal
