control.
National Republican leaders admit
great concern over the apparent
spread of radicalism disclosed by re-
turns from various sections OF the
country including New York, wnere
the bulk of the Socialist vote was
largely cast for the Democratic candl-
dates. The defeat OF Senator'S Bev-
eridge Kellogg, Republicans, ana
Hitchcock, Democrat, was generally
admitted to reflect popular discontent
resulting from the acceptance OF rad
ical policies Shipstead, Howell ana
Brookhart. who defeated Senators KEEL
logg, Hitchcock and former Gov. her
ring OF Iowa, respectively. are re
Garded politically as radicals or the
'LaFollette type" and are expected TO
contribute more or less trouble 1or
the Harding Administration.
Rebuke in North Dakota.
On the other hand O'Connor, the
new Democratic Senator from North
Dakota, is indexed as liberal con-
servative." His victory over Frazier,
a pronounced radical OF Non-Partisan
League inspiration. was due to the de-
lection of thousands of Republicans
who desired to rebule radicalism.
The soldier bonus seems to have cut
both ways in the election OF Senators
and Representatives. Senators Lodge
and Mclean. Republicans, and Ken
drick. Democrat, who supported II,
squeezed through by narrow MAORI
ties. while Senators Sutherland (RepD,
Townsend (Rep), Kellogg (RepD,
Hitchcock (Dem), Pomerene (Dem.),
Poindexter (Rep), and probably Pitt
man (Dem.) and Representative
Mondell (Rep.), who also supported II,
we're beaten. The Senators who OPP
posed the bill and were defeated were
Calder, Frelinghuysen. du Pont and
France, Republicans, and King, Demo-
crat.
The Senators who opposed the bonus
ard were reelected were Reed and Pep
per. Republicans, and Swanson, DEM
ocrat. The Senator's who supported
the bonus and were reelected were
Gerry. Reed (Mo.). McKeller, Tram
nell and Ashurst. Democrats. and La
Toilette and Johnson, Republicans.
New York state Results.
The results in New York State were
wholly comforting to tho Democrats.
Former Gov. Smith. Democrat. carried
the State as a whole by 400,0 600, which
is a record. Mr.. Smith received plu-
rality of around 47S.000 in New York
city and Gov. Miller's lead in the rest
of the state was around $4,000. The
complete vote in the city was: Smith.
755,474. and Miller. 276,S07. both OF
which are records for candidates on
the State ticket the first high and the
latter low.
DR.. Copeland beat Senator Calder by
297, ,s96 votes throughout the State.
The Socialist vote was largely abb
sorbed by the Democratic candidates.
Cassidy. Socialist candidate for Gov
ernor. polled only 62.434 votes. DR..
Steinmetz, candidate for state Engi-
neer and Surveyor on the Socialist
IT,,
600 votes i'm recognition of his high
character and prominence in the world
of invention.
About the only fly in the Democratic
ointment was the unexpectedly large
vots received by Surrogate Cohalan.
who was turned down by Tammany
Hall for denomination. Although
beaten by more than 10000 by Cor
poration Counsel OBren for the Office
denied him. Mr.. Cohalan polled in the
neighborhood of $1,000.
The Democratic sweep wiped out
Republican control in the State SEN
ate, the latest figures giving the DEM
ocrats twenty-six and Republicans
twenty-five seats.
In the present Senate there are 80
Republicans and IL Democrats. Re
publican control of the Assembly will.
however continue and probably will
be source OF embarrassment to Mr..
Smith and the Democratic Senate.
The latest available figures show that
the next Assembly will contain SO
Republicans and 6S Democrats, so
that the two houses will be dead
locked as far as political division is
conoerned.
The thirsty element VI the popula-
ton i'm the country who have refused
to be reconciled TO the prohibition
law found a good deal OF comfort in
the Congressional and State results.
Massachusetts, citizens voted down a
prohibition enforcement act. Cows.
Smith and Edwards OF New Jersey
have declared for light wines and beer.
The citizens of Ohio defeated by a
narrow margin wine and beer refer
endum, while those OF Illinois adopted
one.
Senator Reed, reelected by Missouri.
won largely through the support of
the wet Republican element. In Cali
fornia the State voted to liberalize tho
enforcement act. None OF these
achievements. however, will have the
Immediate effect OF modifying the
Nolstead law. although there will un-
questionably be very substantial in
crease over the existing wet mem
bership" in the two houses. The vets
naturally expressed qualification over
the indicated defeat OF Mr.. Volstead.
