EFFECT OF THE vERDICTS.

EFFECT OF THE vERDICTS.
The results OF the State and Con-
yress elections. Tuesday, are such as
to throw the Republican party into
dire confusion in relation TO its politi-
cal policies and also It's Presidential
candidate in the important national
to be held two years hence
Most important Of all Is the fact that
the Harding administration has been
pointedly repudiated by its many re-
verses in the Congress elections. That
the price-raising Tariff law, which the
Endorsed, was a potent
factor in the general Republican de-
feat cannot be denied. The admins
tration also suffered heavily in pres
tige by the narrow escape of Senator
Lodge in Massachusetts, by the defeat
Of Senator Frelinghuysen in New Jer-
sey, and by the closeness of the con-
test in President Hardings home
State, Ohio.
The triumph of the radical element
of the Republican party in Iowa
where the Presidents father took a
hand in the opposition TO Bookwalter,
the Republican candidate for United
States Senator. in an endeavor to stem
the Socialistic tide so clearly indicated
by his nomination-also spells trouble
for the Republican party. The same
radical elements triumphed In some
other Western States. This means
that unless this element secures the
upper hand in the next Republican
National Convention it will be likely
to set up in political business for it.

AN ENCOURAGING ELECTION.

The election in Delaware this year ,
was the most encouraging, in respect
of several conspicuous elements, ever
held in our State. AS to partisan re-
suits it gave the joy of victory TO both
Democrats and Republicans, especially
to the former, while in other respects
il was OF a character that surely will
serve the interests of good citizenship
and may have potent effect upon the
character of administration, State and
local. 1t is not possible to conceive
that those entrusted with administra-
tive affairs will fail to give heed to
the significant admonitions conveyed
by these unusual elements of the cleo
ton.
In the first place. there was more
independent voting by citizens of both
Never was there such an extraordi-
nary number of split tickets placed in
the ballot boxes. In one small district
of the Seventh ward more than forty
Republicans split their ballots in favor
of Mr.. Bayard for Senator, while about
an equal number of Democrats split
their ballots in favor of Senator du
Pont. And in this small district there
was a large number of other ballots of
both political compilations bearing
favoring marks for some candidates
of the other party.
This WAS the rule throughout the
State, in some districts the number of
independently marked ballots exceed

Louis B. McCags
Resi- gns Captaincy
OF Harvard Grew

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March s.
Louis B. McCagg, Of New York City,
announced tonight his resignation as
captain of the Harvard varsity crew,
which he led last season. McCagg
gave out the following statement:
"Owing to the eXigencics Of my col
lcge work, find it impossible to prop
crly carry on the duties of captain of
the university crew, and am therefore
forced to resign. shall support my
successor and DR.. Howe in every way
to the best of my ability
In addition, Harvard will lose Keith
Kane, the football captain. and Law
renee Terry. who rowed with McCagg
last year. The three men. If they are
to graduate in June, must give all
their time to study. They entered
with war conditions, having left pre-
Iaratory school before graduating.
George Appleton, of Buffalo, one Of the
three veterans out for tho varsity this
year, will most likely be chosen as
McCagg's successor when the men meet
tomorrow for election
