Z GLANCE TOW AnD 1910.

I Tho student Of politics and government
naturally recognizes the congressional
elections of the present year as a prclim-
mary move toward the presidential cleo
ton of 1916 In that light we have
already referred to Governor elect Whit
man of New York as the possible repub-
lcan hope in that contest, the situation
depending largely on the way I'm which
he Is able to handle himself and his
party in New York during the coming
two years. We are Interested to note
that the indcpendent Springfield Repub-
llcan takes a somewhat similar view,
condensing much political philosophy into
the following sentences:
The republicans. will certainly have no
easy task in regaining full control of
the government in 1916 They nave no
leader as vet, for both Mr. Taft and Mr..
Roosevelt are no longer available, while
in Congress the leadership must be held
IN commission by a number Of parlia-
mentarians no one of whom may have
Widespread popular strength. The cleo
tions have developed in Governor-eloct
Whitman Of New York possibility. but
he remains to be tested in his new office
ON the other side. President Wilson Will
remain the incontestahle leader Of his
party, and he is the prcdestlned demo
cratic nominee i'm the next presidential
campaign. His accommodating political
experience is likely to make him dan
gerous as an antagonist in party strategy
and whatever Of Endorsement he may
have failed to win in the elections, q
survey Of the fold leads to the unavoid-
able conclusion that under the Wilson
leadership the Democratic party at this
moment is virtually as strong in tbs
country nj large as governing parties
ordinarily are IN the middle of presiden
tial terms"
The political strategist must always
try to find out what he must meet or
the other side and not what he would
like to meet, if he is to meet it success
fully. If republicans have material ant
measures that will meet the situation
durlng the coming two years. it vii

In the nation which ought to give Mr..

years ago, have control of the presid ency
and both Houses Of Congress throughout

but did not quite succeed in capturing

The democrats retain control of both
branches of Congress, 1t transpres, and
the fact that they have been relieved OF
the House, should not be lost to view by
the Republican party in looking for ad-
vantages with reference to the 1916 presi-
dental struggle. IF the present tidal
wave could have been postponed two
years, the republicans would have been
far better fixed to contest President Will
sons reelection.

PARTY PLEDGES MUST BE Full
FILLED.

Fairly complete returns show that
Charles w Gates for governor has a
plurality Of little over 2o,6oO, or almost
the average off-year republican margin
previous to the slump of 1912. This will
be gratifying to all republicans and if
It could mean that this plurality could
be secured with the comparatively small
effort put forth by the governor-elect
and in his behalf, in spite of counteract-
ing influences and the party was abso-
lutoly sure to 90 ahead and treat all
campaign pledges as sacred, the future
would be bright indeed.
The danger is, however, that this
splendid margin will tempt some of the
factors of the party to conclude that
this is a vindcation of their attitude in
stead of noting that it is but part of
general wave over the country, and to as
yume that it will be safe again to neglect
promised direct nominations and other
measures demanded by the voters and
taxpayers.
The more correct index of political sen
timent in this State is to be found in
q majority of S,121 for Senator Diling-
ham in the senatorial vote, which agEro-
gated 6l,2F, according to present returns
Out of this total Senator Dillingham; re-
ceived S46s5 and Judge Prouty &c EGi a
remarkable vote when YOU stop TO think
how little was really done in the way Of
organization and literature to gain it.
ASSUMING that Senator Dillingham; had
received $500 majority, it would require
a change OF only eighteen votes In each
of the GAG towns in the State to elect
Prouty under similar conditions.
Let us now suppose another biennial
term has passed and again the party in
power has refused to give the voters a
direct primary and other hoped for meas
ures Of relief are not provided and can
ddates have again been put through an
ordeal similar to that of the present
year, have you the slightest doubt that
more than that average of eighteen votes
in the different cities and towns would
rise In indignant protest, and wipe out
that $500 margin rs If by magic?
But there are other considerations also,
which the party will need to bear IN
mind. If the party leaders were to allow
present experiences to be repeated they
could not hope again to find conditions
of campaign as favorable as in this con-
test. This was the first direct election
