Elections and Doubts.

Yesterday, the day before election, was nota-
BILE for its dearth of political Developments The
President spent the day quietly at Shadow Lawn
and Mr.. Hughes rested at the Astor in New York.
The campaign managers apparently contented
themselves with disposal of the odds and ends
of the campaign and making ready for the receipt
of the returns tonight.
The political world, stirred into turmoil for
months, seemed to subside into much-needed
expected did not occur. OF course, few state
ments were issued. but they were not of vote
changing caliber. In broad sense, there was no
occurrence of sufficient importance to overshadow
the addresses with which the nominees ended their
campaigns and the voters may go to the polls with
these final speeches still ringing in their ears.
The day also lacked that which might be used
as an index to the final outcome and the uncer-
tainty to the result which was so pronounced
when the campaign ended Saturday night still is
in the air the voters 60 to the polls. The most
battling puzzle perhaps is embodied in the ques-
tion, who will be elected President" but the
question to whether the Senate and House will
be Republican or Democratic seems almost as diff
hcult to solve.
The last minute reports received in Washing
ton yesterday seemed to indicate rather sur
prising Republican trend in the South, insofar as
the Congressional fights are concerned. However,
what appears to be Republican drift in the North
and West toward President Wilson may offset
what the Republicans gain in the South
The race for control of the Senate has mar
rowed to such fine lines that the Republicans are
predicting they will win by majority of one. OF
course, if there is an even division and Mr.. Hughes
is elected, the Republicans will hold control of
the Senate through the vote of the Vice President
In addition to the Vice President the Republicans
must make a net gain of seven Senators. Only the
optimistic Republicans are predicting that this
will be accomplished, but on the other hand the
Democrats are willing to concede that even though
there is landslide for Wilson the Republicans
will succeed in largely reducing the Democratic
majority in the Senate.
Chairman Woods, of the Republican Congress
sional Campaign Committee, predicts that the
House will be Republican by about twenty-five or
the Senate, but does not give his prediction Of
this expected victory in figures. Chairman Do
remus, of the Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, claims that the Senate and House both will be
Democratic by comfortable majorities.
The nonpartisan forecaster, however, predicts
that the results in both branches of Congress will
be as close as the Presidential outcome is expected
to be. In the Presidential race the odds are on
Mr.. Hughes but in the Congressional fight even
money on both Houses is not considered bad bet
by the men who say they know.

With the soldiers on the border voting and alb
sentee voting permitted in seven States, a glance
four years ahead shows that the absentee voter
will be very important factor in the next national
election. The result in those States which have
adopted the plan will be scanned closely on Tues
day and if it spells success other States undoubt-
cdly will fall in line. And it seems logical. The
actors of New York and the travelling men of that
State have protested vigorously because they are
practically disfranchised through the nature OF
their work, which takes them from their voting
residence on election days. They want an absentee
voting law and appear to be on the road to get it.

the first Monday IN each month.

three members present, members
who had no residence in other

American doctrine. If we do not reafirm If and
