From Republican Viewpoint.

However, the republicans can point out
several instances where the election was
neither typical one nor a startling one.
The results were discounted in ad-
vance, to some extent. but the rejoicing
in the republican ranks is over the fact
that the progressive figures have shown
a terrific drop. Laughlin. the bull moose
candidate, ran on the republican ticket
for Congress at the last election. and
was beaten by John w. Davis by about
leo votes. He had nearly 80 per cent of
the total vote Yesterday, running as a
progressive. he received less than 10
per cent of the vote.
Taft received 12,7O2. and tie election last
year brought out a bigger vote in the
district than ever before. The vote Of
Yesterday was about half of what 1t
should have been.
In view of the fact that the vote was
eytra light the republicans see great
cheer i'm the fact that their candidate
made such remarkable gains. Local
conditions affected the vote also. II is
claimed here.

OUT VICTORY
AT SPECIAL ELECTION
Republicans and Democrats
Find Consolation in West
Virginia Returns.

1t Is one Of the strangest facts con-
nected with percentages and poll ical
mathematics that both republicans and
democrats in the House of Representa-
tives today are claiming victory in the
results from the first West Virginia dis
trict. where the democrats yesterday
elected NJ. M. Neeley to succeed John w
Davis. who has been appointed solicitor
general of the United States.
Neeley received 1890 votes, according
to the latest figures. with twenty-five out
lying and scattered precincts missing
Their returns would not swell the totals
Hearne, the republican candidate, received
1882 and Laughlin, the progressive can
didate, received 1921. a crushing blow to
the bull moosers. who outvoted the re-
publicans at the last election.
Sees Great Gain.
Now the democrats find added joy over
the fact that a democrat comes to the
House from district which has always
been republican yup until the time the
bull moose got to splitting things up. and
Representative Doremus of Michigan,
chairman of the democratic congressional
committee, figures that with the results
as announced today the democrats have
made great gain.
THE result is gratifying to friends of
the administration, he said, being II
special Endorsement of the policies of
President Wilson and the democratic
party. In 1912 Mr.. Wilson received in
this district 25,212 votes, Mr.. Taft 12.702
and Mr.. Roosevelt 132s1. Mr.. Wilson'S
percentage Of that vote was All. Yes
terday Mr.. Neeley. democrat, received
1890; Mr.. Hearne, republican, 1882,
and Mr.. Laughln. progressive, 3,721
These returns are based on figures from
nearly all the precincts. Mr.. Neeley's
percentage Is 49.67. His percentage n
therefore greater than Mr.. Wilson's. Yes
terday the combined protectionist vote
was only slightly in excess of Mr.. Nee
ley's, which wolu.d seem to indicate the
practical extinction Of the protectionisl
sentiment in the district"
Neeley pOlled the largest majority ever
given a democrat in that district. In
1908 the Taft plurality in the district
was 1880, and the plurality of Hubbard,
congressional candidate on the republ-
can ticket. was 3,171.
