 Twenty years ago the politics of the Main Chance seemed enthroned in Ohio beyond the peril of reyou- tion Mark Hanna was the best financial organizer in the history of American politics. McKnley' man who actually believed in the absurdites of popular good through special privilege, gave to bad cause the moral weight only supplied by sincerity Forakers brilancy and prestige impressed Ohio Republcanism on the imagination of the Nation. Mckinley had just been elected President and it was written on the stars that his successor should be followed at the White House by another Ohio Republican. Boss Cox held Cincinnati in the hollow of his hand, while Mark Hanna looked after Cleveland.
 Ohio Republcanism had money brains, personal power tactical skill and the strength that comes from organized selfinteres It had everything except great ideas In Cleveland there steelmaker with some new.fanged ideas about popular rights, and the relation Of popular rights to the stability of public n- stitutlOns Tom Johnson started out to make his ideas count He encouraged Bigelow in Cincinnati and Jones and Whitlocl at Toledo to fight the good fight for clean government He died beaten and poor But there stands his monument the civic spirit and material greatness of Cleveland, and today we see Ohio's verdict upon national affairs Johnsons in- fuence on the cnoscience and will of ohios people.

The division of the for the leading candidates was such to show that the women had chosen between the two parties in about the proportions the men. a fact which suggests very strongly that the women voted with their families.
 We do not find ths in anywise surprising, not. withstanding the deep uncertainties which some seemed to feel about what the women would do. The women in Illinois mostly first voters. They voted with their husbands or fathers very much as the young vote the way father votes They are very likely continue vote that way not because they different from men weaker than men, but because they are human. Political opinion runs in families because members of families follow the heads of families and have similar mental constitutions and material interests

THE ANSWER OF THE BORDER STATES

Nothing more clearly illustrates the fallacy of the criticism that has been heaped upon the administra ton Of its Mexican policy than the election returns from the border States and the border towns of the border States. Every State bordering Mex ieo gave her electoral vote President Wilson. and three of them elected the entire Democratic State ticket.

WASHINGTON NOT INTERESTED IN TARIFF

One of the peculiar thinss concerning the recent election was the result in Washington In that State the Republicans pinned their faith to the circumstance Of free lumber free shingles and reduced tariffs on butter and fruit under the Underwood law to defeat Wilson Yet. a Republican primary defeated an apos- tie of high tariff for the Senate nomination and chose
