In Illinois the question of minimum
wages for women has been receiving
much attention in the legislative ses-
sion. In New York, Kansas and other
states the same question has been I'M
der consideration. Workmen's com
pensation bills have been before many
legislatures. Pensions for widows has
been another legislative topic.
The old political questions that used
10 be the stock subjects for legisla-
ton ten years ago are falling into the
background. Matters having to do
with social and industrial Justice have
been coming to the front.
These questions were taken up in
The Progressive party platforms in the
last campaign. The discussion of them
as a result of the Progressive attitude
directed public attention toward them.
The result has been that everywhere
they have been taken under considera-
ton in state legislatures.
The Progressive movement elected
Few officials last November. But it
won a great victory for the measures
which were embodied In its platform.

Today Woodrow Wilson is a pro-

nine years ago came the forward sug-

Wilson may get credit for success,

litical parties know where to place
the blame for their present dlstraught

LOOK TO NEW PARTY
PRooREssIvEs HAVE THE Conf,
DENcE OF PATRIOTIC voTERs-
Ultimate Triumph Of Organization
Founded by Theodore Roosevelt
Is Solution Of the Present Mix
up In National Politics.

Henry F. Hollis, q Democrat. has
been elected to the United States SEN
ate by the New Hampshire leglsla-
ture. For six years he will hold the
extraordinary position OF Democrat
&c senator from a state which is prac-
tically always Republican.
Last November President Wilson
received less than 40 per cent. OF the
votes cast in New Hampshire. The
combined Taft and Roosevelt vote was
one-half greater than that of the
Democrats. Even In that year of
much mixed results and Democratic
good luck, the Democrats failed to
elect a majority OF the members Of
the state legislature.
But with the Progressives holding
the balance of power a long deadlock
resulted, and now 1t has been broken
by the success of the candidate Of
the party which had never before, for
long period, elected New Hamp-
shire senator. It is one more of the
remarkable fiukes Of politics since the
Republican ranks were split at Chi
cago last summer and a third great
party took the field in the national
campaign and in nearly all Of the
states
Such conditions cannot endure. In
some way the country will so readjust
political divisions and relations that
minority victories will be much less
common and less accidental. And this
undoubtedly will come with the ulti-
mate triumph of the Progressive party.

State cancelled his Trenton engage

be on Virginia soil at o'clock, thus
terminating by his presence in the
State any authority that the Lleuten-
