Leaders Wonder
If Democrats
Are Victorious
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec Hard
boiled politicians in both parties are
still studying the election returns.
Those who thought that the popula-
ton Of the United State was made up
of Republicans and Democrats thought
at first the Democratic party had won
a tremendous victory. Now they won
der. II the Republicans beat the
Democrats to it in the rush for pro-
gressive leadership. it may turn out
TO have been a Republican victory.
At first, the New York and New Jer-
sey Democratic victories doomed up
big. There was talk of Al Smith for
president, and Edwards for Demo
cratic senatorial leadership. Some en-
thusiasts predicted a Nationwide wet
ness in 1924, with prohibition the big
issue. Results elsewhere don't sup.
port that size-up of the situation.
So far Republicans have the jump
on Democrats in the grab for progress
sive leadership. Leadership is the
Democratic partys toughest problem.
The dry South will not follow wet
leadership from New York and New
Jersey. Jim Reed is probably the
smartest Democrat in the Senate, but
the Wilson League of Nations Demo
Gratis won't follow him. And Reed
won't follow Wilson leadership.
Neither prohibition nor the League
of Nations as dominant issue will
swerve the Democrats in the progress
sive bloc from their charted course.

There is an old Syrian proverb
that one should not exult in the
wedding gown lest trouble Turk be-

For that reason the Syrian
bride often does not see her
bridal outfit until she dons it for
the ceremony, and it is often the
least decorated and sometimes
the least becoming costume she
owns.
