the results from illinois, where the Re-
publican congressional delegation went
all to pieces Saving Cannon and few
others), and in Iowa, where the insurg'
ents insurged 30 cffectually that they
have actually endangered the state for
the Republican party. And Beveridge
is in danger too, through sort Of ov.
erdose of insurgency, perhaps. New
Jersey has gone strongly democratic,
and Woodrow Wilson never did care a
cent for Roosevelt; he is u sort of more
respectable, better educated, more self.
restrained, Chancellor Day, not that he
thinks any differently about Roosevelt
but that he says less-so that Wilson .
victory cannot soothe Roosevelt very
much even though an anti.Roosevelt
combine is a direct victim.
In Wisconsin the insurgents stayed
with the old party and tried to work the
publication game without wrecking the
whole kitchen, but they were not so eau.
tious in Kansas and Nebraska, so that
much suffering must be the portion OF
the elephant, with peanuts scarcer than
Republican votes in Texas.
There were republican gains, though,
and in a few cases the party received
whole horn full Of glad surprises. Tenn.
essee went Republican long enough to
elect Hooper to the governorship-a
founding, a poor boy who became fam.
Gus, a splendid man and credit TO
the stage and the party. Minnesota
elects n Republican governor for a
change, Michigan shows Republican in.
creases and New Hampshire likewise.
Delaware is safe, and Rhode Island and
Montana.
Ohio shows democratic gains, Penn.
sylvania shows Republican losses, es.
pceially in congress; Missouri shows
Democratic gains and will replace
Republican senator with a Democrat.
Nebraska is possibly Democratic, Ken.
lucky has turned her back on the Re.
publicans again, in Utah the anti.Mor.
mon movement bids fair to disrupt the
regular Republican organization, and In
Texas the Republicans polled the small.
est vote in many years.
Never were there so many split tick.
cts caat--never in all the history Of this
country. That is sign Of political re.
alignment, and in the record of this elec.
tion may be read the signs Of n general
upheaval. Never were there so many
outside questions to eomplicate the or
binary political choice Of voters.

The Democrats, in the sweeping vic
tory of Tuesday, find themselves with
working majority of 2l in the lower
house of the next congress, but the Re.
publicans will still control the senate.
With the Republican Insurgents In the
senate, however, the control here Is
problematic, but apears probable.
The Democrats needed to elect 20 more
members to get control of the house.
They elected 40. The Republicans gain
cd five Democratic districts, however.
This leaves the Democrats with a clear
| gain Of forty four over the number
they now have, or a plurality of Al.
