and they win stand by him In his ardu-
GUS labora In the months to come"
While partisan feeling seems, for the
time, to be overshadowed by the very
decslveness Of the verdict, analyses of
the reasons for the Landslide" show
some OF the rancor Of the campaign.

the outstanding reason the universal
desire to change the political complex

desire is bocauso OF dissatisfaction with
"autocratic government" "wilsonism"
and tho league, or Is merely an out
growth OF the restlessness and disturbed
conditions after the war, depends on
the political bias OF the paper, ms the
