MITCHELL, DEMOCRAT, ELECTED.
Republican Ran Second and Progress
sive Third in 18th District.

BOSTON, April 16.-John J. Mitch
ell, a Democrat, was elected to Con-
gress from the 18th district yesterday,
after a three-cornered contest in which
the tariff discussion figured prominent
ly.
Mitchell's s plurality over Alfred H.
Cutting (Rep.) was 414S. The vote for
Norman II. White, the Progressive
candidate, fell 5000 short of that for
Cutting.
The special election was necessary
on account of the choice of the for
mer congressman for the district, John
W. Weeks, to be United States SEN
ator. In the election last November
Mr.. Mitchell, who was successful to-
day, was defeated by Mr.. Weeks by
1851 votes.
The total vote in the district was
as follows: Mitchell, 1891; Cutting,
SS43; White. 567s.
The vote in the district last Novem-
Der for Congress was: Weeks (Rep.)
1894; Mitchell (Dem.) 1883; Field
(Prog.) 5s53.
The tariff, and recently the Under
wood bill, were practically the only
topics debated in the campaign. All
three candidate and their supporters
on the stump placed their views on
the different schedules before the shoe
workers of Marlboro, the watchmak-
ers of Waltham, the textile operatives
in the small towns, and the home
dwellers in the residential sections.
