THE RESUIH.

From all over the country election returns are rolling in very slowly. Until more definite news is obtained it will be impossible to know the complexion of the next Congress. Out in Michi- gan, for instance, it was thought early this morning that Henry Ford, Dem ocratic candidate for Senator, whose election was urged by the President, had been overwhelmingly defeated but subsequent reports from outlying districts show that Ford has gained steadily and his election by about 1O,- 900 plurality is now claimed. We must not forget the lesson of two years ago, when the West and Middle West turned the tide completely in favor of President Wilson and his party Tn the East the President was supported strongly. Those districts which returned Republicans to Con- gress are regarded as normally Re- publican, and in the Bay State, s Weeks, the Republican candidate, was defeated by Former Governor Walsh, whom Governor Mccall a Republican. endorsed at the eleventh hour. The campaign was remark able one in many aspects. The dis crimination shown by the voters was perhaps the most astonishing thing of all. In Governor Holcomb's case, for instance, more votes were cast against him than for him in New Britain, when one takes in the total vote of all parties, and yet the Gov ernor carried the town by less than & hundred, which is & surprisingly low vote in proportion to the normal Republican majority of over thou sand in this city.
 We must await the complete, final, Authenticated returns before the re- sult can be shown. Let us hope that President Wilson will not be disap- pointed.

fairly in the city, and MT. klett made a poorer showing than either of his colleagues running for representative. His plurality of nearly four hundred in 1916 was cut down to 69 yesterday, which is a wonderful testim onial to the esteem in which MT. Landers is held by the voters for whom he is working day and night without com pensatiOn.
 We wish to congratulate Messrs. Hall and Covert, who were reelected to the Legislature. They had mar row escape but they "got there", and to their credit be it said that they did not follow the example of others on their ticket who went about preaching Mayor Quigley. The representatives conducted a clean campaign and de- served their victory.
 The Democratic candidates, Messrs. Hart and Gorbach, also did splendidly. Forty odds votes the other way would have elected them. But political post st-mortems" are to no account. The election is over, and the voters must wait two years before again express sing their opinion

A REMARKABDE TRIBUTE.

Congressman Lonergan may we'll feel proud of the remarkable tribute paid him yesterday by the voters of New Britain. He led the field by wide margin, polling a larger plurality khan that given to Governor Holcomb, who carried the city on another ticket 1.-TWO years ago the Congressman did well to keep his opponents plurality #here down to approximately 500 This kime he obliterated that lead and add ed a couple of hundred votes to his own account. From all over the dis krict came reports of a similar nature. The people knew his worth, and ex- pressed in unmistakable terms that so |bflce in the efficient manner he has conducted it thus far he can have the bob as often as he desires it. We con-
 
 @Acerely. He carried this city, thing which has not been done by Demo- fratic congressional candidate since fhe days of the late Hon. Robert J. Nance. That in/itself is perhaps the greatest compliment that could be paid him.
 Now that the campaign is over and I've are assured of two more years of sfficient representation in Washington. t goes without saying that all of MT. 4onergan's constituents, regardless of party will have his services at their Pommand just as has been the case

MEDICATION.
5tl.

If any man has reason to feel grat- fled at the results of the election, that man is George M. Landers. Despite the attempts to villify him, despite his enforced absence from the city, owing to pressing duties in the Food Administration, despite the despicable methods resorted to in the attempt to defeat him, he carried the city ac-
 Cording to the machines that recorded the votes. The people in New Britain. who have lived with him and who know him so we'll, went to the polls and cast more votes for him than Were cast for his opponent The sol dier vote, for which MT. Landers made no appeal. decided the issue. MT. Klett's statement, made in public last night, when the moderator was re- cciving the official returns, was that the soldier vote had elected him. MT, Klett worked as he never worked be- fore to be reelected and is entitled to what credit goes with election after d campaign such as was carried on on his behalf, MT Landers beat him

MAYOR QUTGLI1.

Whatever congressional aspirations Mayor Quigley may have entertained were given a rude jolt yesterday when his opponent came into this city, which has thrice elected the Mayor by large mujoritics, and not only wiped out a heavy Republican plur- ality, but piled up over two hundred votes to his account in the Mayors home town. The tremendous turn ing in it's proportions. He not only ran far behind his ticket in every ward, but in his owr the showing made by him was woefuIly weak, There can be no doubt that his po- 1itical enemies, within his own party resorted to unheard-of treachery in bringing about his defeat Openly on the streets, in offices and elsewhere, they ''buttonholed" voters and bra Mayor. It was tue >iIest bit o1 work, politically, that this city has wit messed ir many years.
 The Herald, an independent news paper advocated Congressman Lon organs reelection because of his splendid record and because he has always supported the President His training. ability and his knack of getting things done for the benefit of his constituents stamped him as the right man in the right place Every Democrat in the city, of course, ral- lied to his support and worked hard overwhe Inning number of Republican votes he received proved both that his work was appreciated by those of op-
 
 ranks of the Republicans, on the con- gressional issue, were split wide open through the efforts of prominent G. o. F. leaders who made no secret of the fact that they intended to desert the choice of their party Mayor Quigley was the victim of a political conspiracy without parallel in local politics The Mayors adherents were astounded as the returns came in to note that, whereas he was running far behind the ticket in every ward, Senator Klett was keeping up suffi- cently to enable him to pull through, although Mir. Klett himself was de- feated on the face of the machines registering the vote in the city.
 Politics, as the Mayor probably knows very well, is d peculiar prob lem and a thankless proposition. We admit that we were sorry for him, al- though this may not afford him very much consolation. He has proven himself a good loser by congratulat- ing his successful opponent most heartily. We regret that the Mayor of the city, and the leader of his party, should have been so shabbily treated by members of that party who managed to secure their own election at the expense of the Mayors political career. We do not hesitate for a moment to predict that the Mayors friends and they are many will not forget the outrage of yester- day. We are sure that they know where to lay the blame for his down fall and that they will demand retri- button for the treason of November 5th.

Russia'S Traitors.
(From the Boston Herald. )

(ITrom the Boston Herald)
 The Russian workmen and soldiers took it's word for both freedom and peace, accepted it's agents as their guides, philosophers and friends, and are now in the hands of a terror and a tyranny that spill the blood and steal the treasure of Russia. For the Bot sheviki central executive committee, which calls itself the Russian govern ment what would be more damnatory than the document which shows that it was elected by order of the German military authorities? Every member -Lenine, Trotzky, Zinovieff, Kame- neH, Joffe, Sverdlof and the rest-is German nominee, and the whole body appears to act as Germany's footing agency in Russia. Low, in- deed, in every sense, would the Rus sian proletariat be if in the mass it Were no better than the Soviet gov ernment samples that obtain German money for themselves and provide Russian money for Germany.
 (From the Boston Post)
 The world is beginning to learn definitely something of the despicable character of the scheme upon which the Kiaser entered four years ago. The publication of the documents tell ing officially the steps taken in the bribery of Lenine, Trotzlly and their associates for the betrayal of Russa lets in the light upon dark spots in this hemisphere as well.
 Very much to the point is the order from headquarters in Berlin to de struction agents in commercial and military ports in Canada and Amer
