THE ADMINISTRATION RAPED IN
STATE ELECTIONS.

Two state elections recently have resulted in
anything but satisfactory manner for sup
|porters Of the Democratic national admins
tration. New Jersey and Maryland have both
gone against the Wilsonites and in both states
lit was recognized that the issues were some
thing more than local. inasmuch as the admin
|istration had interested itself actively.
In Maryland the old fight between the
Wilson "progressives'' led by Senator Blair
Lee, and the Smith forces was revived, with
victory for the Smith men, Senator Lee is a
strong Wilson supporter, one of his mainstays
in the senate and it is well understood that the
president was interesting himself in the Mary
land election. Nevertheless the tide set strong
ly the other way.
The New Jersey balloting on woman suffrage
is not without national significance. Here the
president voted for woman suffrage. Though
he was careful to emphasize that he voted not
Jas president but as private citizen, the fact
is that it was expected his example would be
a powerful factor in swinging big vote in the
same direction.
That the administration influence was ex-
pected to be possibly the deciding force is
shown by an editorial in the New York World,
a strong pro- Wilson newspaper, q few days be-
fore the election. The World said
Not as president or as party leader but as citizen
of New Jersey called upon to express his conviction
at the polls Mr. Wilson announces that he is avora
BILE to woman suffrage and will vote for it. He
peats also his well opinion that the question
should be settled By the states and that In no cir
cumstancesg thould the issue be made party one.
Modest as It is the effect OF this announcement
cannot fail to be arreaching. II will be Of immense
assistance to the suffrage movement, for It comes
from man whose courage and sincerity are known
and not IS from of his predecessors who first
yehemently opposed the ballot for women and then.

tremendous vote, something like $4,000 major

CH1NA's IMPENDING REVOLT.

Always dissatisfied with the rule of President
Yuan Shih-Kai the southern provinces Of
China have found specific cause of grievance
in the apparent drift of the country, toward
monarchy DIR. Sun Vat Sen, though driven
from his home and forced to go into hiding In
|cognito, still has many supporters. These dis
cover a ralIying-cry in No Monarchy, and
Yuan s recent equivocal utterances give them
reason to believe that he is secretly encourag-
ing the move to abrogate the republic. s ).
That DIR. Sun found refuge in Japan and has
secured q measure of protection from the Jap
|anese government is well known. 1t is to
Japan's material interest to see China torn
with revolution, for that gives opportunity for
further extension of the spheres of influence.
It is hardly likely, SO far as Japan is concerned
that the impending revolt in the south will be
treated purely as an internal question for China
to settle alone.
