II appears then that the total vote fell off al
most 5000 or a little over 20 per cent. That can
not be regarded as large reduction in the circum
stances. Rather, comparing bye-elechon for
single office, to Presidential poll, the vote of yes
terday was, very large one. 1t indicates that an
acute interest was taken in the result More than
that the particular issue was at the 'front.' which al
ways makes strongest appeal to Massachusetts con-
stituency, the tariff.
Going into the analysis it appears that the DEM
ocratic and Progressive votes on yesterday were
almost the same as in November. Apparently, DEM
ocras and Progressves stuck by their convictions of
FIVE months ago. The Democratic loss was trifle
over per cent the Progressive loss, almost exactly
5 per cent But the Republican loss was over 45
per cent
Practically the entire loss as compared with the
polling of November sustained by the Repub
Leans 1t will not do to assume tnat the Republican
candidate was particularly weak as compared with
Mr. Weeks; the stationary strength of the other two
PARTIES suggests rather, that the Republican party
appeal was weaker than FIVE months ago while the
hold of the other two parties substantially un-
changed
Of all the minor elections tnat have been held
since November this one in the Thirteenth Massa-
chusetts is the most illuminative, because it was
strictly national issues held in State where
the Progressives had made powerful showing, and
was at time when the Democratic tariff policy had
been crysallized into Administration bill. There
could be serious mstaking of what tine Demo-
cratic party proposed TO do. 1t was vote on that
parys policy, and the result is that the Democrats
While easy victors, shown to be in decided mi
nority of the entire district.
What became of the 1000 Republicans who voted
in November and did not vote yesterday? Mani
fcsty, they we're unwilling to vote Endorsement -
either of the other parties yet they were utterly
disgusted with their party that they remained at
home. If they had been captivated by the tariff
performance of the Democrats down to this date,
there would have been considerable proportion Of
them TO vote for the Democratic candidate. Speak
ing broadly, however, the figures show that they
simply didn't vote at all.
This outcome points with perfect clarity the con-
cluson that unless Republicans and Progressives,
who are protectionists, find of amalgamat-
ing their forces the country is in the way of con-
tinuing indefinitely under minority control.

A NEW YEAR OPPORTUNITY


ELSEWHERE ia this issue Of The
Journal is given an article which
outlines Lee connty's first oppor-
tunity If the New Year for helpful
development Of its resources II is
tie plan proposed BY Mr.. II J..
Bagley for installing an electrical
generating plant on Messy Dell
creek for the purpose Of running a
grist mill at Leasburg and Of furnish
ing lights to the residents here.
llthat Mr.. Bagley needs in this
particular to give this opportunity
for development to Lee county, II
lit comes to pass that the water
power mentioned is as powerful and
available as it is supposed, is that
the people Of Lees srg give him en-
enlargement and cooperation in the
matter. It is a golden opportunity
for the people Of the town to secure
the modern convenience Of electric
lights at a nominal rate and to SCI
cure the helpful influence Of a grist
mil operated right here in the CEN
fer of the county.
Mr., Bagley is planning this
development mainly for the purpose
of furnishing power for a good grist
mill. That in itself in this section
Of the county is d thing that is
greatly needed. incidentally and
as a thing which he can do with very
little cost and with the greatest relia-
bility is to furnish the people Of
Leesburg twenty-four hour electric
current for lights, and for manu-
featuring enterprises Of the smaller
kind. This is an opportunity that
is seldom offered to the people Of a
comparatively small community like
this. The heartiest cooperation
should be given to Mr.. Bagley, who
feels in this matter as if he is a citi-
zen Of Lee county, as he has large
landed interests here, and he is will
ing to do all he can to help in the
development Of the town and coun-
by in this particular.

Lee County In The New Year.

THERE are May good things
ahead Of Lee county in the New
Year. That is a cheerful way in
which to face any new year, but this
new year seems especially favorable
to Lee county and this section,
One reason for believing that 19l 8
should prove so favorable to Lee
county in the way Of general pro-
gress and advancement is because
1912 marked such a notable period
in the county's Development, In
TACT for several years the county has
been gradully shaking off the leth-
argy which has 50 long gripped it.
Many excellent roads have been
built and still more are being built.
This is one good work in Lee coun-
ty which will pass on into the New
Year and for all years to come,
Lee county has had q tasteof good
roads, and the county authorities
will continue this work from year
to year until there are no better
roads in all Georgia than the ones
in this county. That is one thing
that Lee county and which it is
rapidly gaining.
Among other things that the peo-
pie of Lee county win hope for is
the subdivision of some Of the I'M
wieldy estates in the county. The
past year was made notable by the
fact that the first work of this kind
was done in the county. Ifsome Of
the large estates, now poorly cult
waited by careless tenants are sub
divided and sold to industrious
white farmers, it would mean new
era in the growth Of Lee county.
This must come some day. May
that day be FASTENED.
Lee county should have a new
court house. 1t viii hardly be got
ten this year, it may not be builtin
many years; but the county needs
a new court house. 1t will require
a bond issue to obtain it. Only by
united action can a bond issue be
passed. Let the people think this
matter over carefully Then there
are other things, but they viii be
brought to public notice from time
to time.

Happy New Yearl

Happy New Year.
Governor Wilson and Virginia
are still very fond Of each other.
Ex-presidents should be grateful
for one thing. They hold their jobs
for life.
The New York suffragettes are
getting real taste Of life on them
hike to Albany.
Leesburg's holiday trade waa most
encouraging. There was brisk trade
here every day.
The war upon the public drinking
cup and the public towel is a
righteous one.
Santa Claus Wilson has no easy
job before him. The stockings are
numerous and large.
The next real celebration doesn't
come until July 4. Don't begin
getting ready for it now.
There is no longer need Of speak
ing of money trusts J. Pierpont
Morgan is the money trust.
Lee county enjoyed pretty safe
and sane Christmas, as there were
no serious accidents reported.
What remains Of winter win be as
pleasant as could be desired, ac-
Cording to weather prophets.
When one thinks Of the amount
spent on fireworks, one is assured
that there's life in the old land yet.
Now that the holidays are over,
let every man get down to work to
make 1918 the best year of all for
Lee county.
Ii every one kept up every ones
COW in Leesburg and Lee county,
what a much better time we would
all have. -
Governor Wilson probably get
some consolation out Of that attack
Of grip. The office seekers couldn't
worry him.
More good roads viii be another
thing that Lee county win get in
the New Year under its efficient
road administration.
The New Years bells and bills
come together. In fact the insis-
tency of the bills browns the sweet
ness Of The bells.
According to the prediction, next
seasons styles will not be in SYM
pathy with the baseball spirit, they
will be curveless.
In addition to farming in Florida
and Texas, Bill BRYAN is likely to
do o good deal toward running the
government this year.
Probably it isn't a bad idea to
begin shopping now for next Christ
mas. Might as well carry out that
shop early plan to a finish.
