The New York Times seeks to min
imize the significance of the election
in the Twentythird congressional dis
trict of New York, where the republi-
can candidate, William S. Bennett
nonresident of the district, be it noted
wiped out constant democratic
plurality of some 5000 and was elect
ed by something like thousand mar
gin. The Times would like to attri-
butte Mr. Bennet's success to the as
sumption that "the voters decided
that Bennett, with his large experience
and his well-tested capacity, would be
a safer representative than an untried
man." In other words, Mr. Bennett is
a republican. Candidates of the re-
publican party are generally men of
large capacity" and "well-tested ex-
perience." The test in the Twenty
third district was direct and posi-
tive test between democracy and re-
publicanism, and that is all there is
to it.
