 REPUBLICAN GUESTS

Republican employees and about fifty guests were treated to a fascinat- ing and delectable luncheon in the office last evening, by Mrs. Dwight B.. Heard. Caterers had been hired to serve coffee ard sandwiches, and mo- body went hungry-not even the half iozen messenger boys who were kept busy about the office. shooting re- turns from one departmen. to another.
 Although they didn't get in on the lunch, the crowd that thronged the street, hugely enjoyed the stereopticon md megaphone reports delivered with promptness and accuracy by The Re- publican to it's out doors audience. With the aid of the Associated press leased wire the national election was extremely well covered considering the tremendous size of the vote. Long distance telephone calls ard the West ern Union special wire installed in the office in charge of three operators, enabled the Republican to give the quickest news service on the state election.
 It was long after midnight when the magic lantern Flashed it's last bulletin. and after the good night sign had been turned on the screen, many ling cred to receieve later reports by word of mouth.

 ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 7.-President Wilson was given the usual substan- tial democratic majorities in today's election in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Ten nessee and Texas.
 The democrats gained at least one seat in congress in the defeat of James J. Britt, republican, for re-election from the tenth North Carolina district by Zebulon Weaver, democrat. The North Carolina delegation thus be- comes once more wholly democratic Early returns from Virginia indicated that the democrats had returned the nine seats they already held, but that Congressman c. B. Slemp was e-elect- ed in the ninth district, which is nor mally republican. The result in the two close districts in Tennessee and the one in Louisiana, which now has Ia progressive congressman, was still in doubt

HUGHES FAR BEHIND NORMAL
REPUBLICAN STRENGTH

A POLITICAL revolution occurred last
n hTuesday. It demonstrated that the
voters In all parts of the country have
begun to think for themselves.
The State leaders have usually counted
on the strength OF the presidential candi-
date to pull the local ticket through. In
the States that have gone Republican
the local ticket has been stronger than
the national ticket Governor Whitman
was reelected Governor OF New York by.
$4,000 plurality. but Hughes had a plu.
rality OF only 101.000. and Governor Nc.
Call carried Massachusetts by $4,000 more
votes than were polled for Hughes. In
Ohio, where the election OF the whole
Republican ticket has been certain every
presidential year, a Democrat Is elected
as Governor by $4,000. while Mr.. Wilson
carries the State by 10000. Kansas, Re
publican on State issues by 100000, gives
Mr.. Wilson at least 5000. California has
elected Republican-Progressiv Senator
by 100000 and divides almost evenly on
the presidential ticket. Senator Poindex.
ter Is reelected In Washington by 5o.OOO
while the Wilson vote Is 10000 greater
than the Hughes vote.
II the States which have gone Repub-
llcan ON local issues had given their ma
joritles to Mr.. Hughes. the Republican
nominee would have had about 800 cleo
toral votes.
The significance OF this peculiar and
unprecedented situation cannot be under
stood unless we consider along with the
yose for the presidency the vote for mem
bers OF Congress The Republicans have
made such considerable gains as 10 wipe
out the working majority OF the Demo
Gratis. This means that the nation has
not indorsed the economic policies OF the
Democratic party. II foreshadows the
election In 1918 OF Republican House
and Republican Senate unless the De
mocracy shall turn It's back on its old
policies and make the policies OF the Re
publicans their own.
The vote really means that Mr.. Wilson
has satisfied large part OF the country
BY his success in keeping the country at
peace when The rest Of the world was a.

TO BUSINESS MEN

TNHB apparent reelection OF Mr.. Wilson,
= on the face OF the returns. following
the belief that his utter repudiation by
nearly all the great industrial States
meant his defeat. is naturally cause for
depression among the business men Of
this community. II recount resulted
In favor OF Mr.. Hughes. there would
stili be little hope for a completely sat
isfactory adjustment OF the tariff In a
Democratic Senate ana House in which
at the best the Republicans win not have
a working majority.
But the situation should bo faced in
a hopeful spirit. The present prosperity,
however precarious its continuance be-
yond the next year or two, will in itself
prevent any stampede toward the atti-
tude Of extreme retrenchment It must
be remembered there has been no loss of
confidence among industrial leaders, in
spite Of the fact that the growth of Will
son sentiment in the last month made
the capture OF the Senate by the Repub.
llcans seem hardly possible. Even a Re-
publican landslide would not have given
the country a substitute for the Under
wood act for many months.
In fact. what the most responsible and
far.seeing men have desired is no prompt
change made in a mere partisan spirit
They have demanded rather a prompt
beginning of a constructive investigation
to proceed stride by-stride with the trade
developments among the belllgerent and
neutral nations. this study to be made by
legislators of all parties and in as close
an approximation t9 the nonpartisan
spirit as is possible.
the plan for the Tariff Board. Mr.. Will
son will appoint the members. His
utterances on this subject have been re-
ceived as to a great extent reassuring,
though how far he would be willing to
encourage a tolerant spirit in Congress
is questionable. The President has
nicely discriminated between "biparti-
sanship" and "nonpartisanship" in his
analysis of the requirements of the board.
He has declared against an attempt
merely to balance Republican against
Democratic members to Offset each
others prejudices. and in favor Of select
ing such investigators without regard to
their party Affiliations - men who will
honestly report the facts.
The Republicans have nothing to lose
and everything to gain IL Mr.. Wilson can
really assure a nonpartisan investigation.
They can go before the country in 1918
on the findings of the Tariff Board and
the discrepancies between those findings
and the action of the Congress upon
them. The Democratic party is in no
mood to let those discrepancies be very
great. after its heavy loss of prestige in
the great Industrial oenters.
