Although the democrats retain con-
troll OF both houses Of congress. the
returns can bring them little salts
faction and can inspire them with
but slight hope for victory two years
hence. says today's Tribune. In the
East. where the stress Of hard times
was felt prior 20 the war. II was diff
ficult TO convince the voters that the
war was responsible for the hard
times. and u was only natural that
they should ascribe the depressed con-
ditiop Of business to democratic mis-
management Nevertheless u ~ Inn
possible 10 deny that the general de-
cline In business during the last sixty
days has been due largely 20 the Eu-
ropean conflict. II n likely. there
fore. that the war prevented the DEM
ocrats from being more disaatroualy
beaten than they were. because II
served AZ a Roodexcuse. and TO some
extent n valid excuse for maintaining
that democratic legislation was not
responsible for the slump in pros
perity
with this obs~urity enveioping the
situation u II not surprising that the
results should be conflicting. The
notable features Of the election In the
East were the restoration Of repubii-
can power and the disappearance Of
the progressive party as a political
factor. and yet Governor johnson was
elected In California. while In Utah
