ANDREW ELECTED TO SEAT IN
CONGRESS.
Vigorous Democratic Campaign Brings
No Reaction Against Republicans.

vigorous Democratic Campaign Brings
No Reaction Against Republicans
Boston, September 27.-Col. A. Piatt
, Andrew of Gloucester. Republican,
was elected to Congress in today 8
special election In the Sixth District
by n majority OF 1851 receiving
more than three votes to every one
for his Democratic opponent, Charles
!. Pcttingill Of Amosbury.
Tho election proved conclusively
that there Is no "recation" against the
Har ding Administration as fur as
Esaex county is concerned. While to
days total vote was less than 80 per
cent of that cast In tho district last
fall, Andrews total Of %, 546 was
morel than 76 per cent. of tire total,
while Lufkin's 1921 last November
was just 76 per cent Of the total.
THO Republicans therefore, are ell.
titlod moro than the satisfaction
from Andrews victory, which has
been conceded them from tho START.
They have been able to maintain thu
lines established in last November 8
record vote In face Of a vigorous cam
paign by the Democrats to create dis
satisfaction with what has been done
by tho Republicans since they cano
into power last March.
Andrew CARRIED every city and tow,
in tho district except Amcsbury, his
opponents home. which went for the
Democratic candidate by 81 votes.
Gloucester home city OF the Republi-
can candidate which gave him the III.
precedented ratio Of IS to 1 in the
primary election was equally impress
sive In today's election, Andrew carry
! ing the city by 1864 votes or Il ratio
Of Is to 1.
The Andrew vote showed that the
acrimonious primary campaign hal
left no scars for he ran particularly
strong in places which were friendly
to his chief opponent in the prim Try,
Ransom G. Pingree. Pingrce's city OF
| Haverhill rolled up 1926 for the ReprE
lican candidate, approximately so per
cont Of the Lufkin total last fall while
Pettingril's vote there was less than
30 per cent Of that received by O'Cor
noll the Democratic candidate against
Lufkin.

THH RACIAL OUTLOOK

The great cause for uneasiness as to
the future OF tho colored people is
the incomDatibility between race lead.
ers and their apparent inability To
agree upon set line Of action and
their unwillingness to abide by tho
findings of majority Of their own
kith and kin. They deal too largely
in individualism and selfishness, while
the vital interests of the race suffer.
Whether q change will be noted in
this or the neMt Or the succeeding
generation is the question. It be-
hooves those Of us who arc far sighted
enough to see these faults to bend our
efforts to correct them. Sometimes -

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Lexington, Va. The final result was
that, with tho support of the women.

Many Democrats arc alleged to have
