PRIMARY RESULTS
THROW LIGHT ON,
FUTURE LINEUP
Olive an Idea of Who
Will BE Who i'm
Washington.

A the news from the primaries
drifts in. we begin to have
some idea as to who will be who
in Washington next winter. Up
in New England, Senator Lodge
and Speaker Gillett and other
old favorites rolled up tremen-
dous majorities. which may safely
be regarded as an Endorsement
Of the Administration. Senator
Frederick Hale, a buddy Of the
President, won handily IN Maine.
and in that State 1t was tory
victory all along the line.
In Maryland, our old friend
Senator France defeated the con-
servative candidate. John w.
Garrett. the CARROTS being al
most as well and favorably
known" in Washington as the
Frances. The Senator's Demo-
cratic opponent will be William
B. Bruce. who defeated former
Senator "Davy" Lewis and vii.
liam l. Norris, the gentleman
who began his campaign with an
arraignment of the social bloc"
and a declaration Of independ-
ence Of evening clothes, :hc devil
of social intercourse and all his
works. Congressman John Philip
Hill gave up the idea OF trying
for the Senate and will run again
for Congress. He was unOpposed
for the Republican nomination in
his district.
Senator Charles E. Townsend
reached his goal safely out in
Michigan. where "Newberryism"
was the outstanding issue Of the
campaign. Townsend having been
a staunch supporter Of his col
league In the Senate. And the
way in which Fighting Bob" La
Toilette came through with flying
colors in Wisconsin has been
widely heralded. All this goes TO
the credit side Of the ledger. but
among the losses we'll have to
chalk up Congressman Patrick
Kelley. who gave up his seat in
the House to try for Senator
Townsend's toga and went down
to defeat. He's one Of the no
tably brilliant orators of the
House, but his silver tongue
seems to have done him little
good.
SENATOR JOSEPH S. FIRE.
LINGHUYSEN was forced to
surrender in New Jersey and to a
man quite unknown in Washing.

His Democratic opponent is Cover.
nor Edwards and should he be
elected we would be treated to the
unusual spectacle of two former
governors of the same State serv.
ing side by side in the Senate
Senator Edge. 1t will be remem-
bered. having been governor Of
New Jersey before he came to
Washington.
The departure Of the Freling-
huysens will cause keen and wide
spread regret and one can't but
hope that something will be found
for this genial lame duck by the
little father" of all good Republi-
cans in the White House. Through
the resignation OF Mrs. Irvine L.
Lenroot, who is Ill, Mrs. Freling-
huysen has Just succeeded to the
post Of president Of the Con-
gressional Club. However, her
husbands defeat will have no
affect upon her course of action
in this connection. since he does
not go out of office until next
March and that the passing Of the
present Congress then will also
mark the close of the term for
which Mrs. Lenroot was elected.
Mrs. Frelinghuysen was first vice
president of the club and became
president automatically when Mrs.
Lenroot resigned.

POINT carried the primaries
handily in Delaware and in No.
vember will break a lance with
Thomas F. Bayard, who has been
given the Democratic nomination.
Bayard and DuPont-they are
names to conjure with in Della
ware! The State, you know.
might be described as small
body Of land entirely surrounded
by DuPonts; and. on the other
hand. should Mr.. Bayard be elect
ed, he would be the sixth Bayard
of Delaware in the United States
Senate.
