WARON MURPHY

of which william Sulzer came to his firs,
broad breach with Murphy.
In actual count, the Democrats neither
gained nor lost Congressional prestige
IN the Tuesday elections. Democrats
were elected to succeed Democratic mem
bers of the House-one in Maryland and
two In New York-and a Republican was
elected to fill a Republican vacancy by
Massachusetts,.
One feature OF the election statistics
most closely observed by political leaders
Of all parties yesterday was that af-
fecting the Bull Moose vote. And po-
lItical wiseacres were frankly at a loss
to point logical conclusions from these
figures. m Massachusetts, the Moose
vote increased over 1912 returns: IN New
Jersey It sank appreciably, and In Mary
land IL was almost negligible. In Massa-
chusetts the Bull Moose vote plus the
Republican vote was greater than the
Democratic vote plus the Foss Qnde-
pendent vote. but not by a wide margin.
In New Jersey the Democratic vote con-
stituted a smaller minority of the en-
tire vote, while in Maryland the Demo-
cratic vote was in some centers twice
as great as the Republican and Bull
Moose votes combined.
Leaders Are Chastened.
Contemplation of the returns, however,
led to one general conclusion In Repub-
liean and quasi-Republican circles YES
terday, namely: That the Democrats
probably will remain in power as long
as the Republicans and Bull Moose stay
apart, and that these factions are not
getting together fast enough to promise
much for 1914 In fact, those who hope
for Republican Congress in 1914 could
CLEAN little consolation from Tuesdays
election. The result was that yesterday
found leaders OF all opposition factions
In a somewhat chastened mood and more
ready to talk terms and make conces-
sions to each other than they have been
for some time Statements by Senator
Smoot and Representative Mann both in
dicated this. Mr.. Mann said:
The election returns seem to DEM
onstrate that the Democratic party win
continue to be a minority party, but in
spite OF that IL Is likely to remain In
power as long as two different factions
In the Republican party continue to quar-
rel with each other"
Neither confirmation nor denial was
forthcoming from the White House yes-
terday on the report that Third Assist
ant Secretary of State Dudley Field Ma

In place Of lemon Juice In peach jelly or any

to about two gallons OF the peelings add
about half q gallon OF apples or the green
tomatoes and a handful OF peach leaves to

In color, then one or two very red tomatoes
may be added, which gives the jelly bril-
liant yellowish red hue. Let me add that no
tomato flavor can be detected in the fin

cessfuIly all sorts OF jellies and have al
ways the largest demand for peach. In
making apple jelly simply quarter the
fruit, because when the seeds and stems
