country. The Striking victory or Mr..
Foss. as Democratic candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts, was not
a merely personal affair. Governor
Draper had made an excellent eXecu-
tive and the voters were not express
ing disapproval of him. New Eng
land 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 fore
shadowing 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 prelim-
mary party cleaning. Although
Rhode Island was carried by the Re-
publicans, it should not be overlooked
that the moral victory was with the
Democrats. This is readily seen when
one remembers that last year Gov
ernor Pothier carried the state by a
majority of about 10000, while this
year his majority is less than 1000.
When one further keeps In mind the
total population of the state, II Will
be seen that the shrinkage of the Re-
publican vote in Rhode Island Is in
comparably greater than that in New
York. Thus the people who have
been so eager to say that Roosevelt
was rebuked by the Democratic vic
tory I'm Maine, that Senator Aldrich
was likewise rebuked by the falling
off in Rhode Islands plurality, that
Senator Lodge. by inference, was
repudiated in Massachusetts. and that
Senator Bulkeley was unsparingly
condemned in Connecticut. owing to
the peculiar system of representation
in New England, the Republicans of
the Massachusetts, legislature will be
In sufficient majority TO give Senator
Lodge another term. But a number
OF them are opposed to Mr.. Lodge.
and IL they should combine with the
Democrats II is possible, though un-
likely, that Mr.. Lodge may lose his
seat.-From The Progress of the
