Tremendous Republican Gains Made.
ELECTIONS INDICATE THAT THE OLD
PARTY is COMING BACK.

Almost q landslide to the Republican
party, is the substance of the election re-
suits of last Tuesday, when elections
were held 10 all states of the Union ex
cent Maine. The result can be interpret
ed only a. q failure to endorse the pres
emit Democratic administration.
In all the states members OF the ma
tiopal house of representatives were
elected, and the existing Democratic ma
iorlty OF 14l Is cut down to less than so.
A significant and interesting feature
of the result is the slump in the Pro
pressive party vote. 10 Massachusetts,
the Progressive candidate for governor
received about one third Of last years
vote. In New York the Progressive
candidate was bad fourth, receiving
only little more than half the vote OF
Sulzsr, candidate on the American and
Prohibition tickets. A small and reduc-
cd number of members Of congress were
elected on the Progressive ticket, and 10
California Hiram johnson, who was the
candidate for vice-president with Roose-
Welt in 1912, was reelected governor, but
this 10 the extent of the Progressive &C
complishments. The inevitable conclu-
sion 10 that the party will not again be
considerable factor in the country's poll
tics.
In Massachusetts, Governor Walsh.
Democrat, was reelected by plurality
of a little less than 10000. All other
state officers we're elected by the Repub-
licans, who also have majority in both
houses of the legislature.
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut are Republican.
New York gave decided Republican
victory, electing Whitman, the Republi.
can candidate, governor by plurality OF
approximately 125, 900, and for the first
time since 1910 the Republicans will con
troll both branches Of the legislature.
Democratic control Of the United
States Senate will be retained by very
slight change u any in the plurality.
Interesting features Of the result are
the election Of "Uncle" Joe Cannon by a
plurality Of about $500, and the defeat OF
the present Democratic congressman in
President Wilson's own district in New
Jersey, the Republican candidate having
. plurality Of about 1000.
OF seven states which voted on tn"
question OF granting suffrage to women.
Il appears that Montana and Nevada vot
ed in favor, and the others against.
Prohibition was adopted in Arizona,
Colorado, Oregon and Washington, and
was defeated In Ohio and California. In
California an amendment to the consti
tuition adopted at referendum makes it
impossible to have another vote on the
question for eight years. The fact that
California is large producer Of wine
had q strong influence on the result
Thirteen states now have prohibitory
laws

In a recent bulletin from the state II.
brary, Librarian Prince calls attention to
the needs of the library In the matter Of
housing room. The writer was . little
surprised, on visit to the state house
year or two since, to be shown by Mr..
Prince the books belonging to the state
library, not only in the main library
room, but also stored and stacked In
every odd corner on about every floor OF
the building. There is plenty Of room
in the main library for second story
of book stacks, and this would do some
thing, at comparatively small expense,
toward getting the books where they are
available, but the library Is growing
largely every year, and the problem OF
taking care Of it, which evidently was
not solved by remodsling the state house,
even though that vastly improved con-
ditIons, will have to be met some time.
