The Massachusetts result probably
mean the retirement of Governor
Foss from politics. He left the Re-
publican Party to accept a Democratic
nomination, became the MasSachu-
sets Democratic candidate for the
presidency in 1912, then coquetted
with the Republicans, bolted the
Presidents policy, ran independently
for Governor, and has now received
one of the smallest votes cast in
Massachusetts for anybody since the
last time Benjamin F. Butler a

publicans and the Progressives seem
10 be tied, in New Jersey the Pro
gressive vote has gone to pieces.

date for Governor, has probably not
polled more than one-sixth of the
votes that Roosevelt did last year.
One of the features of the election
was the defeat of the Socialist Mayor
of Schenectady, N. Y, George R. Lunn,
but it took a combination of all the ole
parties-Republican, Democratic and
Progressive-to do it. Even then they
defeated Lunn only by a little over
1000 majority, showing that all the
old parties combined had only about
1000 more votes in Schenectady than
the Socialists have.
Municipal elections were held in
%thirty-four cities in New York States.

larger ones showed the election of
eight Republican Mayors, four Demo-
Gratis, three Fusion, two Progressive,
and one Citizens Party.

The progressive vote for Hand and
Seabury was light as compared with
the unexpected strength shown by the
third party in many local contests.
The most significant victory of the
progressives, whose vote fell off in
the country districts was in Syracuse,
where Will, candidate for Mayor, was
elected over his regular republican
and democratic opponents.
Republican State Chairman Barnes
claimed that his party would have
eighty-five members of the next AS
