The Democrats
Still in Power

New Jersey remaines Democra-
tic, so does M Massachusett it's; in
fact there failed to be any mat
erialization of the expected re.
action against Democracy be-
cause of the Tariff and Currency
Bills.
Indeed, judging from the election
returns, the people are willing
for President Wilson to have a
free hand III carrying out his
policies.
The Democrats now have two
more senator's III the National
Legislation, and several new re-
presentatives.
1t looks like a continuation of
the Democratic power for some
time to come.
