Milford chronicle., 1915-11-05

THE elections held this week in Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts, and Maryland
and New York, resulted in decided vic
tories for the Republican party, except
that in Maryland, where the Democratic
party triumped by a majority of about
seven thousand. Wherever Congress
men were chosen the Republicans made
a clean sweep, and one of the most
noticeable results. was the very small
showing made by the Progressive Party.
In none of the States were sufficient
votes polled to entitle the party to a
place on the ballot at the next election.
The question of Women's Suffrage
was overwhelmingly defeated in every
State where the question was before the
people. The State of New York defeated
the adoption of the new Constitution, the
framing of which cost about half mil |
lion dollars, but the people did not want
it and that settled the matter. The Re
publican party has now a well defined
expression of the people as to their de-
sires. and the nomination of clean, capa-
bic and sterling men in 1916 will ensure
a triumphant party after the elections
next year.
