had won the fight. Ii is also fact
that suffrage or anti-suffrage cut no
figure In the elections. The only prom
inent anti-suffraglst that was defeated
was Weeks of Massachusetts, while
Baird was elected in New Jersey.
Salisbury, an anti-suffragist was de-
feated in Delaware, while Folk, suf-
fragist, was defeated in Missouri. 1t
is evident that the election was fought
on party lines, and such issues as
suffrage and even prohibition had lit
tie to do with the success or defeat OF
different candidates.

Quite n number Of American boys
who have had q more or less hazy Idea
that kings were the worst class Of peo-
pie on earth may come back from Eu-
rope after the war with a different
view on that subject. King George of
England seems TO be making himself
solid with the Yanks. He has eaten
"hapiacks" and apple pie and chatted
with any number of wounded soldiers
nj hospitals in England. That Is one
Of the great benefits to be got from
this war. There Is not n man who
canes back from Europe who VIII not
have gained a clearer and truer view
Of other peoples. Whether or not II
has any good points, no one can deny
that war Is a great educator.

The recent election rearranges a
number of presidential states. Natu-
rally the victory of the Republicans
gives them a great deal of cnfi-
dence, and they hope to elect the
next president 1t Is pointed out that
for more than 80 years the success of
a party at the mldterm congressional
elections has forecast the result of the
next presidential election.
Generally speaking, politicians be-
lleve that the election has given candi-
dates other than President Wilson or
Secretary McAdoo quite boost. and
eyes have been turned toward Cover
nor Cox of Ohio. In fact, II might
happen that both candidates in 1920
would he from Ohio, as Senator Hard
ing might he the Republican nominee.
II is generally conceded that the
election removes at least two eastern
candidates. Senator Weeks Of Massa-
chusetts and Governor Whitman of
New York. thus in the East clearing
the way for Colonel Roosevelt If he
should make the race.

When control of the senate passes
10 the Republicans there will be an in
tereSting shifting Of chairmanshipS. OF
the most important committees the fol-
lowing are likely to be Chairmen: APP
preparations, Warren of Wyoming 4;
banking and currency, Mclean of
Connecticut; finance. Penrose of PSln-
sylyania; foreign relations, Lodge of
Massachusetts; judiciary Nelson of
Minnesota; commerce. Jones of Wash
ington; agriculture. Page or Vermont;
Interstate commerce, Cummins of
Iowa; military affairs, Wadsworth of
New York; naval affairs, Poindexter
Of Washington; post Offices, Townsend
OF Michigan
Probably Senator Lodge will have
his choice of two other positions, that
Of being majority leader, or president
pro tempOre of the senate. But more
than either, the great qualification to
him will be the Craftsmanship of the
foreign relations committee ut one of
the most important periods of our his

Judging from reports that have been
received there is whole lot Of work
for the Red Cross TO do In the Holy

Already there has been speculation
rs to the organization Of the house of
representatives and also in regard TO
the chairmanShips Of the several com
mittccs The selection Of speaker
will have something to do with the
chnlrmanshlps. If Congressman Gil
lett Of Massachusetts Is elected speak
or the Craftsmanship Of the important
committee on appropriations would 90
10 Good of Iowa. but II Gillett Is not
speaker he will be chairman Of that
committee. Other chairmanshipS Of
first class committees are likely to be
rs follows: Ways and means, Ford
ncy Of Michigan; agriculture. Haugen
Of Iowa; banking and currency, Hayes
Of California; foreign affairs, Porter
Of Pennsylvania; Interstate and for
eign commerce. ESch q Wisconsin;
judiciary. Volstead Of Minnesota; mill
tary affairs. Kahn Of California; naval
affairs, Butler Of Pennsylvania; post
offices. Stevenson of Minnesota; pub
lie lands La Toilette of Washington.
The men thus named are ranking Re
publican members Of these committees
Mt the present time. OF course there
may be a number Of upsets in these
calculations, hut the probabilities are
that nearly all of the ranking Repuh-
licnn members of committees will be
advanced TO chalrmanships, particular
~ If the house elects the committees
and they are not appointed by the
speaker.
