Both Houses Lost.
WASHINGTON. November 8. 1913

WASHINGTON, november y, ioio.
To my great surprise we
have lost both houses We felt sure
that we would carry both. and did not
appreciate the extent to which the
Republicans would be consolidated by
the Presidents letter. which. from
what ! hear, was one of the inducing
causes of the result; although not by
any means the only one, for the feel
ing in the North and West was strong
that the South in some way was being
preferred. l am fresh from a talk
ith Senator Phelan, who. to my sur
prise, tells me that these were the
actors in the New England States
from which he has just come. /.
The Wilson Administration may be
judged by the great things that 1t has
done-the unparalleled things-and
lie election of last Tuesday will get
but line in the history of this period.
while the Versailles conference and
he Fourteen Points of Wilson'S mes
sage will have books written about
hem for a century to come.
