Iowa. chairman Of the Repupilcah No"'
gressional Committee, said
"As a result OF the elections yesterday
MANY Republicans have been elected 10
nrhlic offices now held by Democrats IN
other words. there has been TREMENDOUS
Republican gain and tremendous Deno
cratic loss In the districts where elec'ioh'
were held this year compared to the last
elections held in the same districts.
.,rhe Bull Moose as a party Demon
strated that it has practically no strehe'h
at all. The candidates on the Bull moose
ticket in the various districts and states
would nave received As many ana per-
hans more, votes II they had simply been

GAS q result of the election the Repuo-
lNcan party has been strengthened at the

the majority Of the state administrations
as well as Congress"
Representative Mann. Republican mi
nority leader. viewed the situation with
considerable hopefulness also, following
his general idea that with the factions
in the Republican ranks consolidated the
next election will upset the present ma
jority
Representative Frank E. Doremus, OF
Michigan, chairman Of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, made the fol-
lowing statement:
THE result Of the elections is very graf
flying to the administration and to all
friends OF the administration. The voters
in Massachusetts. New Jersey and Mary
Hand have Endorsed the progressive poll
cies of President Wilson's administration,
Including the tariff and the currency and
his attitude toward the situation in Mex
leo.
"The results in New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts, two OF the strongest manufact-
uring states in the Union. are particularly
significant. Coming on the heels or a
general revision of the tariff, they indi-
cate that the manufacturing interests of
those states are not apprehensive of the
effects of the new tariff law.
Senator Kern, of Indiana, Democratic
leader Of the Senate. said:
"The administration should be highly
gratifsd at the results. / do not see how
we could have expected more"
Sees Hope of Republican Success.
Senator Borah, Progressive Republican.
OF Idaho, said:
al did not suppose at any time that II
would be possible for us to win out In
New Jersey or in Massachusetts. After
being in New Jersey | felt Colby would
poll a much larger vote than he did.
supposed he would poll at least 1900
votes or about half Of what Colonel
Roosevelt did, but II seems he polled only
about 10000.
THE same is true with reference to the
third party vote in Maryland 1t is small
err than supposed It would be: and every
where the third party vote and Republi-
can vote combined would control. So ia
my way of thinking the result OF the
| elections, taken as a whole, in Massachu-
| setts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
| Maryland, is far more than we had a
right to hope for at this time. 1t indi-
Gates very clearly what the Republicans
are going to do in the future"
Senator Norris. Of Nebraska, Progress
sve Republican, said:
THE results yesterday did not surprise
me. I expected Democratic victory, and II
may be expected as long as the Republi-
can party is split into two factions.
hope that the two factions will get to-
gether."
Senator Smoot, Of Utah, Republican
said:
If the administration is satisfied with
the results of the election In New Jersey
where the Democrats poled only about
| one-third OF the entire vote, It Is easily
satisfied. II II considers that as an in
dorsement IL certainly is easily satisfied
| Gardner received more votes in Massa-
chusetts than l expected he would after
he had repudiated the Republican plat
form. Such occurrences as those of yes
terday will do more than anything 10
bring the Republicans together again.
The Republicans and the members OF
the third party both believe In protec-
tive tariff and in other Republican doc
trines. They are realizing that they must
get together il they are TO win. AS soon
as they do get together it will be goodby
