will be BY huge majority. the
largest by which control has been
held BY any party in recent years.
The democrats had only to hold
their own to remain for two years
more in the saddle which they
took from the republicans two
years ago. But their gains have
been enormous. Not only have
they held their strength in the
majority OF districts, but they
have taken one district after an
other from their opponents.
Districts that the republicans
| thought absolutely sure have been
snatched by the democrats. Many
OF the prominent republicans that
escaped the democratic wave in
1910 have been swept under it
this year.
The fight made BY progressive
candidates IS held responsible for
republican defeat in many dis
tricts. The republican vote was
split between the republican and
progressive candidates, and the
/ democratic candidate got the
benefit-election.
