"And she can get a basket and help
pick out the stones and rubbish
sticks or anything we find" added
Bob. His reading about gardening
had already given him some good
ideas as to what to do.
AS soon as possible after school the
two children hurried out to the garden
lot. Bob marked off a certain space
and set to work. AS soon as the
ground was turned, he and Florence
began breaking up the clods of earth
he had turned over. Then, when that
place was all fine and smooth, he
marked off another spot and they did
that. And as they worked, of course,
they talked and planned about all the
good things to eat that were to grow
there and about what fun 1t was going
to be to pick supper off the garden.

said happily. II just know"

State Chairman Says Fal-
lacy of Following Strange
Gods Is Revealed.
LOSSES OFFSET BY GAINS
Upstate Defeats in MayOralty
Contest Are laid 70 Trac-
tiOn Issue.

Republican State leaders were quick
yesterday to resent the suggestion OF
Democrats that the result Of the cleo
tions on Tuesday foreshadowed a
Democratic victory in the State next
fall. They thought the plurality for
Justice William S. Andrews for Court
Of Appeals was good for an off year.
The Democrats pointed to the
smashing victory for Mayor Hylan
here, the election Of Democratic
Mayors in a dozen or so other cities
in the State, and to the reduced Re-
publican vote in other sections.
On Ike other hand George A. Glynn,
chairman Of the Republican State
committee, declared that the Repub-
lean vote for an off year was most
satisfactory. He referred rather bit
terly tc the drive against Gov. Miller
that had been made by the Republican
city ticket here and cited the larger
vote of Justice william S. Andrews
as indication that it would be well to
follow the State leadership.
THE run made by Justice Andrews in
New York city was very satisfactory In
the circumstances,'' said Mr.. Glynn. He
lost here by only 261. 500. while the head
Of the so-called coalition ticket lost by
$4,000.
State G. O. p. Not Dishenrtened.
"Justice Andrews ran as Republican
and 1t was plainly understood that he
was friend of Gov. Miller and warm
supporter of the administration. The
result in this city Is not disheartenng
to State Republicans. They believe
that standing by the party platform, by
the action Of the State convention, the
work of the Republican legislators and
the Republican administrators will
prove more satisfactory to New York
city Republicans than pursuing the
course OF the opportunist.
''The election Of Assemblymen who
voted for transit legislation must indi-
cate that there Is wholesome party
sentiment for courage in meeting public
problems. which some politicians use for
mere personal advantage.
"The election Of more than 95 Repub-
lican Asse.nblymen out of $50 In an off
year Is all that the party should expect.
Since there were scarcely any contests
in the rural sections Of the State, where
Republicans outnumber Democrats by

jority OF twenty votes. In the last AS
sembly there were l19 Republicans and
2S Democrats.
When the vote in the lower house
stands below the 100 mark there is al
ways the possibility of trouble. In a
session like 1921 the majority IS too big
TO admit OF insurgency and the leaders
have an easy time. But with the plural
ity of twenty there is the possibility of
insurgency and trading which makes It
difficult to hold the majority party in
line.
That may be especially true with the
next session, many members OF which
have just squeezed In and who may not
be disposed to display any great enthu-
siasm over the leadership which nearly
lost them their jobs.

In the many upsets and reversals
there were minor political surprises and
tragedies. The big Democratic gains
were all in New York city, and when
the Republicans peeped out from the
storm cellars yesterday forenoon they
wondered how II possibly could have
happened that as many of their AS
sembly candidates could have pulled
through. Some of the Republican As
semblymen in the city made marvellous
runs, turning back overwhelming Demo-
cratic votes for the city ticket and pull
ing through with pluralitles of from a
dozen to few hundred.
Republicans conceded the Democratic
claim that generally the result was dis
approval OF the last Legislatures transit
is that they have to confess the Demo-
Gratis played the better politics. Quick
to take advantage of the issue pre-
sented. Tammany and its upstate
allies jumped into the opening and stole
the five cent fare fight.
No one In the practical business Of
politics believes that the Legislature
started the cities on the way to eight
cent fares. but they now see that they
allowed the Democrats to capitalize
that issue and get away with 1t. Wher-
ever there was local transit fight the
Democrats had the best OF 1t.
The Republican leaders who stand
sponsor for the transit policy and still
indorse 1t declare that another six
months will convince the public that
there Is no cent fare steal concealed
in the transit bill. They express conf
dence that the entire subject will be
cleared away so that it Will not be a
political issue in the 1922 election for
Governor.

bly, Is seventy-six votes. The Republi-
cans therefore will have working ma

Attention was called to the fact that
