THE GENERAL ELECTION

Returns from the election all over
the country indicates that the Lord is
again with his people after having in
fiicted upon those people tempor-
ary chastisement. Everywhere repub-
licans are successful, with a mistake
here and there in the way of a demo-
cratic victory that indicates that the
donkey still kicks. Republican sue
cess is phenomenal, ana far in excess
OF anything that was expected by the
most sanguine republican. 1t Is evil
dent that the people of the country
are already sick and tired of demo-
cratic rule, and not inclined to en-
dorse the Wilson administration. Even
Penrose, the most intensely abused
politician in the United States, is elect
cd senator from Pennsylvania by
majority crowding 100000 Republi-
cans are not rejoicing so much over
the election of Penrose as they are
over the defeat of Pinchot and the re-
buke administered % the Big Noise.
AS an indication of how the trend of
public opinion is changing it can be
said that about every candidate that
Roosevelt supported on the stump
was defeated, and every candidate that
he personally opposed was elected 1t
is evident that progressiveism is a
negligible quantity IN American poll
tics. The following are some of the
latest returns in brief:
The democratic majority in congress
has been cut from 141 to about 20.
Wesley L. Jones has carried Wash
ington by over $4,000. The beautiful
Ole Hanson is poor third in the race.
Four republican congressman were
elected from this state, c. C. Dill
carrying this precinct, giving the dem
ocrats one member in congress from
this state.
Joe Cannon has again been elected
to congress from Illinois.
New York has gore wholly republi-
can. Sherman, republican, has been
elected to the senate from Illinois.
Progressive governor and demo-
cratic senator elected in California.
State legislature will be strongly re-
publican.
All the initiative measures, the ref
erendum and the constitutional amend
ment were defeated by large majorit-
les. The eight-hour measure was
showed under to 1.

majority. Oregon, Arizona and Col
orado also in the dry column.
California and Ohio have turned

column.
Two years ago Roosevelt swept H.
linois. This year there are big re-
publican congressional gains in that
state.
Two years ago Connecticut sent
solid democratic delegation to con-
gress. Tuesday it switched and elect
ed full republican delegation The
democratic tariff law does not meet
the approval of Connecticut.

Michigan, but eleven of the thirteen
congressman are republican.
The most pleasing feature of the
election Tuesday is that it foreor-
dains the retirement Of Poindexter to
'private life two years hence

| the senate from Iowa Notwithstanding
the fight made against him by Bryan.
