Gibson Gardner Reviews
Politics AS Now Seen
BY ellison Gardner.

Washington, Nov. s.-The principal
effect of last Tuesdays elections is the
| elimination of Grandpa Elihu Root
| from the presidential race.
Roots constitution was repudiated
| by New York by an overwhe lining
vote because il was reactionary.
Root falls with his constitution. This
is admitted by all politicians.
Some apologize and say il was n
mistake 10 couple the constitution with
Roots presidential boom. but the mis-
| take having been made the results
have to be accepted
Less will be heard of the Root boom
and possibly more of the booms of
Burton of Ohio and Weeks Of Mas
| sachusetts. Massachusetts showed Re
publican strength, which will be put
forward as emitting that state to con
sidcration in the presidential conyen-
ton.
McCall's victory over Walsh is due
to the return of the rPogressives to
the Republican party in Massa chusetts.
The Progressives polled very small
vote-so small that the party viii lhaVe
no legal existence.
The state is normally Republican and
there is nothing in this result to in
dicate a threatened Republican land
Hide. MeCall's majority was small and
the public sentiment which repudi
lted New York's reactionary constitu
ton showed that the aggressive aud the
Independent spirit still exists in the
voter.
New Jerseys result with its great
increase in Republican strength in the
legislature. is due to the same cause
which made itself felt in Massaehu
setts. The Progressives refused To
maintain a separate party existence
but under the leadership of George l..
Record went back to the Republican
party, vowing their intention T. con
the party and make ii Progress
sive. without the rPogress We division
the Democrats were overwhelmed. All
of which illustrates the lack of politi-
al judgment on the part of the Dem
ocratic leaders, who have used their
influence To stamp out the Progressive
,arty instead of working with ii and
nursing 1t.
The result, taken altogether, shows
that in 1916 the presidential election
will be settled by the Progressive par
| ty. If that party maintains a vigorous
separate existence, names its eandi-
late and makes a vigorous campaign.
| the Democrats will profit by it; if they
| do what they did in New Jersey and
Massachusetts. the standpat Republic
| ans will profit by it. 1t is up to the
Progressives of the country to choose
between the two parties in the coimng
presidential election.
