NEW YORK, November 3.-Secretary
1oudenslager Of the republican congress

say for publication.

dispatches Mr.. Loudenslager had no es-
innate to make of the probable demo-
cratic majority at this time.
Due to Party Disruption.
Analysis OF the cause of the republican
defeat In the east is unnecessary, Of
course. The Stars dispatches from the
field for the past four months have de-
scribed the varying conditions that inev-
itabiy were to lead up to the Waterloo
The one big essential fact standing out
above the others in New York politics is
that the republican party Of this state
is completely disorgani1ed. disrupted and
to the bad.
TAe man who burned his barn to get
rid Of the rats is fair example OF the
republican party Of this state. The re-
mark applies to both factions. the old
guard and the progressives. Republican
votes elected Dix and beat the legfsla-
tive and congressional tickets
And the worst Of il, from repubii-
can viewpoint, is that the barn burning
is not over There Is not Chinamans
chance OF the factions getting together.
Not even a death bed reconciliation is
possible.
They are going at each others throats
again, commencing this very day. Many
a harvest moon will beam serenely upon
this fair state before the republicans
have q look-in at success again
Tragedy for q. o. p.
surely IL has been the ERA of swat
The way the republican factions swat
I'd, each other yesterday will be remem-
tbcrea for time to come. Whether the
game wa. worth the candle is for them
TO decide, as they brood over the dying
enbers Of defeat hereafter
There Is not a gieam Of humor-not
even pathos-to relieve the republican SIT
uation. It's all tragedy. grim, relentless
tragedy. Each faction is gloating that
the other was beaten
The next question to be decided Is which
faction shall control the remnant Of the
republican party left In the state?
The progressives have the machinery or
the state committee by a scant majority.
The old guard is going after them TO
wrest it away. More work for the UNDER
taker.
Well, anyway. the republican factions
have had "a regular corking time. The
republican party in New York is corked
up. in consequence. y. u NJ.
