eOmcial figures Of recent elections.
primaries and registrations in differ
Sent parts of the country reveal sweep
Ing Republican gains and correspond
ing Democratic and Progressive
losses. A careful analysis OF these
sfgures. just completed, shows unmts-
ltakably the trend of political senti-
ment from Maine to California. The
iswing back to Republican victory is
lon.
The figures show that the condi-
ltion that resulted in the election
tof Wilson is wiped out and that the
adjustment has been favorable to
the Republican party in every in
fstance. The total vote in primaries
land congressional elections was, in
most cases. less than that in the
presidential election two years ago,
but even In these instances the Re-
lpublicans gained. In the Seventh
district Of New Jersey, the total vote
lin the congressional election fell
away forty per cent, yet the Repub-
llican gain was SO per cent over 1912.
In the Second Iowa district, the de-
Grease in the total vote, compared
with 1912, was SO per cent, yet the
Republican gain was 81 per cent. In
the senatorial primary in Pennsylva-
mia, the total vote was forty-nine per
fcent less than the total vote in the
presidential election two years ago,
but the Republican gain was 81 per
cent.
One Of the most significant of the
returns is that Of the Minnesota
lelection for governor, In which the
Republican gain was 203 per cent. in
spite OF the fact that the total vote
was 81 per cent less than the vote
for president in 1912.
A comparison Of the votes cast at
recent elections and primaries and
the results Of registration, with the
