ELECTION RESULTS.
While the democrats. the republic
cans, the independents and the 50
3cialists can find something for CON
ISOLATION in the returns Of the recent
election, President Taft can search
in vain for even q crumb Of comfort.
The Presidents good friend, Hen
" Cabot Lodge, made the struggle
OF his Life to prevent the election Of
a democratic governor in Massachu-
sets. He signally failed. The Old
Bay State reelected her democratic
governor for the second tune since
the civil war.
Senator Penpse $of Pennsyl wanna,

Senate and the Preside nt's personal
represe sentative in many important
matters; took personal charge OIL

delphia, and his cand ate was de-

former was a. safely rep,.p licap !, Il.
the latter was safely mocratic. and
that the admission Of the two new

In Maryland the republi Leans eject,
ed their candidate for governor, but

other state officers and a large ma
jority Of the membership Of the leg
islahlre. The democratic candidate
! for governor was a son OF the late
Senator Gornan, and some account

of the old German combine. Others
+ say that q technical ballot law re-
suited in the throwing out OF some

In any event he was defeated but
thare is nothing in.his. defeat to dis
courage democrats. A democratic
representative i'm Congress- has been
elected in the Second Kansas Dis
trict, and the democrats have held
the Third Nebraska District. where
also an electna was held to fill a
vacancy.
In New York the republicans re
captured the legislature. This Is
important in state that casts 45
electoral votes.
New Jersey, like New York, chang
cd the political complication OF liz
legislature. This is charged to the
deloyalty OF the machine democrats
who are opposed to Woodrow VIII
sons legislative. program.
1.-THE expected happened in INSISTS
sippi and Rhode Island. The former s
went democratic and the latter q
course Went u. Z:
IN S. Ohio the socialists won in Pres
nent McKinley's home Canton
with 5o.217 people; in Lima, so'5os;
Loraih, 1888. and seven smaller cit
les. They ran even with the de-
feated republicans in Columbus,
which has 1sl.54s people. Cleveland
and Dayton cast heavy socialist
votes. In many other sections OF the
country the socialist vote was une1-
pectedly large.
While the democrats have rather
the best OF the elections this year,
thew have no right to do much crow
