Democratic Victory in New York

THE election of four Democratic Congress-
men on tho same day in New York City
is in no sense a local affair nor can the sue
cess of these candidates be explained on a
basis Of local issues" The whole campaign
was projected upon national lines, and for
that reason the Democratic triumph is as
much the triumph Of the Democratic admin
istration at Washington and the Democratic
majorities in the House and Senate as Of
the Democratic nominees in New York
1t was question from the outset of the
campaign whether not vote OF conf
dencc in President Wilson should he cast:
whether or not the conduct OF tho war had
been satisfactory, and whether or not the
present administration should be given a
majority Of Democrats in the House OF
Representatives. 1t was within the power
OF the voters OF New York to change the
political complexion of the House, to compel
the election OF new Speaker. and TO turn
over to the present minority the whole an
preparation and taxation machinery of tho
Federal government.
The answer which the voters gave was dc
csive. and, in one instance, overwhelming
Three of the four party candidates were
elected by safe majoritics. and tho fourth by
Il majority that completely stunned the op-
position. This election came at a time total
~ unproptious for the Democratic candi-
dates. They had to carry the burden I'M
loaded upon them by series OF unfavorabic
circumstances. The draft had been resented
III many sections OF the city; the fuel short
age and the Garfield suspension order were
unpopular with all classes; the mayora!tv
campaign had left many bruises and much
i'll feeling, and the national administration
had been under sustained attack from many
New Workers for months past.
In addition to all this was tho uncertainty
over the attitude OF the thousands of women
who cast their first vote. The Dcmocra ic
leaders had no assurance that these women
were friendly; that they remembered the in
valuable assistance given them by the Prcs-
dent: that they believed in the war policies
Of the present government, or that they
would not assume a general attitude of pro-
test all along the line. 1t is evident that
the women gave far more support to the
Democratic nominees than to the Republ-
cans, and that all attempts to organize them
| as Republican factor failed miserably
The New York result comes at time
when the Republican leaders are shouting
loudly about party harmony. Chairman
Hays. the new head of the harmonizcd or
ganizaton, has just left New York. after a
! week Of Daciication, OF reimbursement Of old
| differences. and Of welcoming Gisscnters back
! upon the reservation. That his efforts we're
| not wholly successful is indicated by tho
! failure TO capture a single one of the four
