COMFORT FOR DEMOCRATS IN
ELECTION RETURNS.


Chairman Hilles of the Republican
national committee, drew the rash
conclusion that "The result of Tues.
days elections must be anything but
gratifying to the national administra-
ton" Evidently ii had not been hia
privilege to read the statement issued
by the Democratic national committee
when he made this observation. Mr.
Hilles pointed to the narrow Repub
llcan victory in the Bay State, the cleo
ton of Republican legislatures in New
York and New Jersey and the election
Of four Republican congressman, one
OF which succeeded a Democrat, as
food for rejoicing in the g. O. +. camp.
The Democratic view Is expressed by
the national committee as follows:
THE results Tuesday show that
while the Republicans and Bull Moose
have gotten together in some states.
the democracy has made large gains
from the progressive ranks. This IS
notably true in Massachusetts from
which state the first official returns
are available. The democratic guber-
Latorial candidate. Governor Walsh
made wonderful race. He polled the
largest vote ever given Democrat in
the state, while Mr.. Mccall, the Re
publican candidate, ran way behind
the normal Republican vote given
party nominees in recent years. The
boast OF the Republicans la Massachu-
setts that they would carry the state
by from $4,000 to 10000 majority re-
mains unfulfilled.
The total given Walsh was 229,3l2.
while Mccall received 2S5,9l6 votes.
The vote for Governor Walsh was
nearly 10000 greater than he received
two years ago and $4,000 more than
he received in 1912. President Wilson
received only 173.iO0 votes as against
29S,l75 for Taft and Roosevelt. Taft
received 1863 votes in 1908. which
is 10000 more than the vote given
Mccall, Tuesday.
I'm this connection the important
fact should not be overlooked that
Massachusetts is one Of the old line
Republican states. II has elected Re-
publican legislature and Republican
United States senator's for eener-
ations The democratic party which
always has been the minority party is
stronger in the state Wednesday than
it has teen before.
There we're three state election re-
suits Tuesday where governors were
chosen. The Democrats elected their
state tickets in two OF these three
states. While they lost the governor
ship in Massachusetts, a heretofore
strong Republican state. they elected
a Democrat to replace the present gov

ernor in Maryland In Kentucky the
Democrats elected their candidate for
governor, Hon. A. o. Stanley, whose
election was opposed by a number of
Republican spelbinders of national
reputation, including former Vice-Pres-

the party leader In the other is highly
gratifying TO the national democracy

their efforts to force back into the

One OF the very gratifying results
Tuesday was.the defeat Of the legisla-
ton submitted by Governor Willis and
the Republican leaders in Ohio to
gerrymander the congressional dis
tricts Of the state so as to give the

Atlanta, Ca, June 16.-The king
alligator Of Georgia has been killed
at Hutchinsons pond at Abel by NJ. L.
Crowley, after the beast had eluded
hunters for twenty-five years. The
alligator measured ten feet and four
inches, and had thirty-seyen notches
on its tail, which shows that II was
81 years old.
Many have been the attempts to
kill the sly old creature, but always
until now It has escaped the bullets
aimed at 1t and has scuttled safely
back to its cave. 1t was the gators
appetite for hogs that proved its I'M
doing.
Mr.. Crowley, who for twenty-five
years has been hunting this beast,
lied the leg Of a porker to a tree near
pond, and hid himself.
The wary old gator slid out OF the
water, through clump Of bushes,
