LIGHT is SPREADING
PEOPLE EVIDENTLY CONSIDER
ING TARIFF QUESTION:.
Recent Elections Clearly Presage Vic
tory for the Democratic Party,
Going into Battle for the
Rights Of the People. :.

State elections In the of years Of
ten show very different results from
the pronouncements Of general cleo
lions, but this cannot be regarded as
an of year for obvious reasons. The
tariff Is quite as much at issue In
the present election as it can be In
1912, for there Is disposition in
every manufacturing state to show to
the national administration the at
titude of the people toward the
Payne-Aldrich tariff. Massachusetts
and Rhode Island are states common
ly recognized as irrevocably welded
to high protection. Senator Lodge
is one Of the foremost Of the I'M
plucked reactionaries since the Fpass-
ing of Aldrich and Hale, and, as
chief representative Of the protected
interests Of his state, there can be
no doubt but he brought every posi-
BILE influence to bear in the election
just held. The attitude Of Massachu-
sets this fall is reasonably assured
to afford forecast as to what Its
attitude will be In the next general
election. It is therefore quite remark
able that Eugene N. Foss should
have been elected at all. Such COM
fort as the standpat element in the
federal government can derive from
his diminished plurality should not be
begrudged, for 1t is but chilly COM
fort. 1t poses the state of Massa-
chusetts in the most hopeful states
to be counted In the next national
election.
Rhode Island gives an increased
Republican majority, which Is not to
be wondered at, because an over
whelming majority Of the electors are
residents Of its chief manufacturing
city and many thousands are mill
operatives from foreign lands. who
are subject to the influence Of the
men who operate the industries and
care very little about politics except
as they think 1t concerns their jobs
and their wages. The solemn assur-
ance OF the mill owners that any
abatement Of the tariff will mean a
cut in wages and possible shutdown
Of the mills will stampede them like
sheep into the political fold Of their
employers. The anti-tarih wave has
evidently not abated.

SENATE is NOT REPUBLICAN
Democratic Measures Likely Hence
forth to Command Majority
In Upper House.

Recent elections had no effect upon
the United States senate as regards
the political control. There are now
AZ Democrats and 40 Republicans In
that body, 10 of the Republicans being
classed as insurgents, who are almost
sure to vote, with the Democrats on
certain large issues. There is one va
cancy in Colorado, caused by the
failure Of the legislature to elect.
This is likely to be filled by Demo
crat, in which case the senate will
stand 43 to 40. The New Mexico
legislature may possibly be controlled
by a coalition Of Democrats and pro-
gressive Republicans with a small
majority on joint bailot. In that case
the two new senatorships will be d.
vided, one going to the Democrats
and the other to the progressive Re-
publicans, In which case the senate
will stand, with the Colorado vacancy
filled, A Democrats and SO Republi-
cans, II of the latter being straight
out progressives with stronger lean
ings toward the Democratic than the
Republican side in important matters.
If the straight-out Republicans control
in New Mexico and elect two senator's.
the upper house will stand 43 Demo-
Gratis and 81 Republicans. The Ari-
zonia legislature will be elected In
December and 1t is expected that It
will be Democratic, sending two mem
bers Of that party to the senate. On
this basis the full senate Of SO men,
bers, when all are elected, will stand

the Democracy, for the first time

the senate. In the 1913 class Of sena-
torial seats are several which may
possibly be regarded as open to con-
test, such as those from New Jersey.

NOVEL No Y I: TOMATO SALAD
SOME SUGGESTIONS THE HOUSE.
.WIFE WILL APPRECIATE.
Icy coIdness,. Careful sklnnins and
Marlnatino Are Essentials Of Good
Salad-some Recipes Worth

The essentials OF good tomato
salad are icy coldness, careful skin

and for half an hour at the end soak

on the salad proper.
II tomato skins easily do not put

this will be possible, especially If the
Is used The usual custom is to pour
boiling water over the tomatoes. let
stand half minute, then peel with
blunt silver knife and put at once on
the ice.
Tomatoes take the flavor Of their
dressing SO much better when sliced
that many salads are prepared in sec
tons. cut in lengthwise pieces. four or
six to a tomato, according to size.
Serve on nest Of lettuce or arrange
as q border around shredded lettuce
with narrow outer border of white
lettuce hearts. Dot with mayonnaise.
The whole tomato is so hard to eat
that 1t is more often used as cup
than any other way. The filings are
endless and various odds and ends Of
vegetables can be utilized.
Especially good is one Of cold peas
highly seasoned with plenty Of butter
and mixed with q few capers. Cold
corn dressed with plenty of butter,
cayenne. salt, and little whipped
cream makes novel filling and served
with rich mayonnaise is excellent.
Cold spaghetti cut into small pieces
and dressed with a highly spiced to-

be dressed with cream sauce and
mixed with grated parmesan and
chopped pimolas
Shrimps and shredded green pep

peppers and shredded celery. Equal

Remnants Of chicken can be made
into nice salad filling by running 1t
through chopper, then season highly,

Another good filing consists Of tiny

cy cold and mixed with mayonnoise.
This Is far less painful to the bystand-
sr than sthe shredded onion SO often

A novel salad is small tomato, cut
almost through in lengthwise sections,
with minced cress peeping from the
cuts. The tomato is only cut enough
so 1t will hold together and the cress

| tomato Is then set on round of
canned pineapple, which rests on a

sprinkled thickly with very crisp ba-
