A Triumph Foreshadowed

FTlHE Democrats have retained control of
i the House and increased their majority in
the Senate. The sweep toward Republican
Il Ism, however was so great that it was prac-
tically a political revolution and the House
majority is reduced to the breaking point.
Local conditions in some cases confused the
national issue, and in others the Progressive
vote, small as it was, determined the result.
There will be many minority Representa-
tives.
Few of the great industrial States elected
Senators Those that did were practically
unanimous in their reputation OF the Ad-
ministration. Pennsylvania, New York. Ohio.
and Illinois cast 1876 electoral votes, or
more than half of a majority, in the electoral
college They all went Republican Tuesday,
although in Illinois the Progressive candi-
date commanded large following and seri-
ously cut into the Republican vote
The President enfeebled the moral appeal
which has been his strongest national asset
when he acquiesced in and actively sup
ported the candidacy of Mr.. Sullivan in I'LL
nois and was equally pronounced in his sup
port of the Tammany candidate in New York.
1t weakened the strength OF Independent Re-
publicans in their fight against Penroseism
when the Administration gave its indorse-
ment to machine politicians In other States.
It gave the impression that party was as
corrupt morally in one State as the other
in the other. There can be no question that
the ease with which Sullivan adherents post
poned the Norris resolution convinced many
good citizens that the morality of the Admin
istration was extremely opportunlstic In
nature. and that it was quite as ready now
as Republican leadership had ever been be-
fore to ally itself with discredtable elements
in order to get votes. Mr. Wilson will be
haunted by the Illinois fight for many months
to come. If he is ever able to recover from it.
The closeness of the battle for the House
. yindicates the position of the EVENING
LEDGER. that the defeat of Mr.. Penrose in the
May primaries would have been the prelude
to a complete victory. The weight OF Pen
rosaism was sufficient to determine the re-
suit in many Congressional districts. In the
West particularly was this true. The re-
markable recuperative powers OF the party
were amply evidenced by the results achieved
in spite OF the activity of many distasteful
leaders.
The country has struck blow for pros
perity. Hungry men will not heed argu-
ments; they want results A Republican
victory in 1916 is foreshadowed, provided
selfish leadership does not dominate the party
councils.

Verdict on the Tariff

From the Bridgeport Comm Standard
BY ralying to the defense OF their industries
that suffering from the effects of the Under
wood tariff and are threatened with further
instruments OF repressve legislation, Com
necticut has done much for herself and for every
manufacturing district in the country. Even
though II 10 probable that the Democrats will
retain control OF the House by a narrow major
ity such emphatic expression OF disapproval
on the part OF the most distinctively industrial
State In the Union cannot be disreEardsd by
the Administration. Democratic survivors nom

Jobs Instead of Soup

TT is good time to carry through mu-
i nicipal projects when labor is plentiful.
The unemployed comprise an army which
wants to be put to work and ought to be
put to work. Councils appreciates the sit
uation and has begun to consider legisla-
tion devised TO release for use funds now
lying idle in the banks Prompt action
relative to the loan bill ratified by tho
electors Tuesday will also make large
amounts available. The charity of the COM
munity must take the form OF common
sense; that is, the providing of Jobs instead
OF soup.

A Place in the Sun

From the New York Tribune
It is the Republican party's place in the sun,
not that of the old reactlonary bosses, that was
Tuesday. This Is the partys oppor-
tunity, not that OF Barnes, Penrose and their
kind. II the bosses treat 1t their own then
they will invite repetition of 1872 for the
people punish improbable servants swiftly
The men who left the party to strike at the
reactionary bosses came back to It to strike
at Wilson. They can be kept In 1t. They can
be alienated from 1t in such numbers as to make
1916 another overturn. It is UP to the pro-
gressive element in the Republican party. Tues
days victory not victory for reaction
though reaction came riding in along with the
procession.

Penrose Still Penrose

From the Boston Transcript.
In Pennsylvania Republican landslide iB
responsible for the return of Penrose, an evil
dence, we hope, not of the approval popular
ity Of that personality, but rather, of tho
enduring strength and vitality Of the Republican
party, whose cardinal principle of protection has
long been the source OF the keystone States
prosperity. The voters of Pennsylvania this
year could not resist the opportunity to protest
against the closing Of the industries OF their
State by the Underwood tariff and the throwing
of thousands of men out of work, even In order
to deal with an undesirable like Penrose. It Is
the cause, not the candidate, for whom Penn
sylvania has rolled up over 20O,0 900 majority.

It was great victory for the Republican

IL has not kowtowed to the demagogues who
tried first to coerce and later to annihlate 1t.

way in politics and in Journalism by preach
