Speak softly! Tread lightly! good
people. Hereafter In earnest debate and
casual discussion II will be referred to
rs "the defunct Democratic party"
The worst enemy Of Wisconsin In
Pennsylvania In his widest hopes OF
political retribution never dreamed that
the popular resentment among his own
party against Woodrow Wilson was as
deep, bitter and inplacable as the cleo
ton figures, In their fnality, indicate
today.
The result In Pennsylvania can br
described only by the word "astound-
ing"
Nothing in the political history Of any
party has ever equaled It. A great
political party in great state prac
tically wiped out, so far as popular rep
resentation goes. in one day.
One Democrat In Congress
AS 1t now looks there will be but
one Democrat in Congress from Penn
sylvanin, Campbell of Allegheny. Ard
he Is only half baked Democrat. His
party affiliations are wobbly and un-
certain, because he could not have won
had he not carried the Republican in
dorsement.
The finest evidence of the unpopu-
larity Of Mr.. Wilson, his policy and
his personal advisers, Ii to be found
right here in Pennsylvania.
There are two counties that comprise
one congressional district, the Thir-
teenth, Berks and Lehigh. And the
number Of the district was certain y
pS-tcntous in this instance. It's de =
