Wilson cause by the state of Ohio.

electoral vote was given to Cleve.

and Progressive parties went to the

is the statement ascribed to promi-
nent administration official at Wash
ington. There is strong talk In the
national capitol of an Ohio man for
a cabinet position. Judson Harmon
is the last Ohio Democrat to serve
in such capacity with the exception
of Secretary of War Newton ID. Bak-
er. He was encouragement in the
cabinet of the late President Grover
Cleveland.
Senator Atlee Pomerene's re-elec-
ton over an extremely strong oppo-
nent has brought him into the lime
light. AS soon as the news was
known in Washington, a boom was
started to make the senior senator
from Ohio the Democratic leader of
the upper congressional body.
Ohio Democrats may well feel
proud of their part in the reelection
of President Wilson. There Is that
in the presidents sweeping victory
in the state which is sufficient unto
itself. But recognition of the role
assumed in the presidential contest
would intensity the Joy and gratiiica-
ton over the result. 1t would make
more real the Wilson achievement in
this state and it would gladden. the
hearts Of the hosts of Democrats who
for the past month. have worked with
might and main TO assure President
Wilson of the sturdy endorsement OF
Ohio.

PRoeREsslvENEss WINS

An analysis of the electoral vote in
dicates that Hughes won back three
states which went into the Progress
i've column four years ago-Michigan,
Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Two
states which Wilson captured in 1912,
normally reckoned as Republican,
were annexed by Hughes-Connecti'
cut and West Virginia. The balance
OF his vote is In states which have
been solidly Republican for years.
Wilson retained every Democratic
state. He gained two states-Cali-
fornla and Washington--which were
in the Progressive column in 1912.
Six states, normally Republican-Ida
no. Kansas, Montana, North Dakota,
Ohio and Wyoming--were swept into
the Wilson column. All of these went
for Wilson four years ago, with the
Republican party cleft In twain. The
state of Utah went for Democrat
ehis year for the first time since 1t
returned majority for Bryan in the
campaign of 1896.
The election has been clash OF
the west against the east, of progress
iveness against reactonarism. VIII
son has triumphed over elements
once regarded as lmpregnable, The
victory is one of the people.

KEENLY DISAPPOINTED
Are Leaders of Congressional Union
For Woman Suffrage.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Leaders of
the Congressional Union for Women
Suffrage were keenly disappointed at
the result of the national election. In
stead Of bright prospects for early
passage of the federal constitutional
amendment for equal suffrage, suf-
frage leaders here are resigned to an
other hard fight before hoping for
substantial progress toward national
votes for women. The failure of the
-four million women voters" to throw
the Pacific states to Hughes has great
ly chagrined suffrage headquarters
This already has resulted in talk Of
turning almost entirely to the east IN
the efforts to gain the power neces
sary to obtain the constitutional

New York, Nov. 11.-With returns
missing from only one congressional
district in the United States, the Re-
publicans and Democrats each had
elected 215 representatives. The vote

probably will determine which party
is to have a plurality Of one over the
other. The present member from
New Mexico Is a Republican.
The balance of power in the next
house will be held by four men, one
Progressive protectionist from Lou
isiana, one an independent from Mas
saohusetts, one a Progressive from
Minnesota and the other Socialist
from New York. Their action appar.
emily will determine the choice of a
speaker as well as the fate of legisla-
tion which is supported or opposed on
purely party lines.

One of the most satisfactory things
in connection with the election is
President Wilson's great success
without the vote of New York. The
election takes the conceit out of New
Workers. and shows them that they
are not so important as they were
wont to believe. The average New
Yorker has been possessed of the
idea that New York is the United
States. The election ought to jerk
that idea out of his head.
