Texas November 9

that has just terminated in an unprecedented
victory for the republican party, has awakened
profound interest In our own country.
This interest which Mexico has had In the
campaign Is explained by the significance its
result will have over the entire world, result
that will unquesilOnably effect the social move

markets OF Europe have reflected the triumph
OF the republican party

papers comment In their evening editions on
the elections Of tho United states and are In ac-

President wilson"

states was day of great significance for social

of Wow, these elections were triumph"

the Republican party has produced on even the

And this is az It should be. Notable thinkers
and writer's esteemed the victory OF the Poles
at Warsaw over the bolsheviki, triumph
OF civilization over anarchy; and now there are
those who say that this victory has been rati-

states These are, according to prominent
thinkers, two great victories of order over an

What impression does this triumph produce
in our own country? knowing our people, we
assume AN impression very similar to that ex-
