What Caused 1t?

There were two principal causes
for the defeat of the democrats In
Kansas this year. The principal one
was the unpopularity of the Hodges
administration, the other was the
failure of the national democracy to
be progressive enough in regard to
national prohibition and national
woman suffrage. If Medley shall turn
out winner, as appears probable at
this writing, it will be in spite of the
handicap of the state administration
and the failure of the national de-
mocracy to measure up to its oppOr-
tunity with respect to the two livest
issues in the nation-suffrage and
prohibition.
Nothing is clearer than that ma
tion-wide suffrage, and nationwide
prohibition, either through the states
or the nation, is coming. 1t is idle,
of course, to argue that a greater per
cent of individual republicans than
individual democrats favor either. But
the republicans were alive to the OPP
portunity afforded by these issues
and promptly took position in favor
of ii. In this state, the democrats
did likewise but, being out of line
with the party nationally, they failed
to benefit by such action.
In spite of these handicaps, the
democrats might have won had the
state administration record been
such as to help rather than hinder
the party But unfortunately it has
been marked by rank craftsmanship,
pickering, quarreling between fac
tons instead of serious effort to
harmonic discordant elements in the
party. The governor preferred to be
the leader of a faction rather than
striving to be the leader of the whole
party, with the result that thousands
of democrats were driven clear away
from him and the whole ticket suf-
fered to some extent in consequence.
IT is said to contemplate how severe
the blow might have been, had the
splendid administration and person
atty Of President Wilson not pulled
strongly for the democratic side.--
