Clhairmen .of. Democratic: : and
Republican, Parties. Com
ment on Elections.

Both the republican and democratic
national committees issued state
ments today on the results of yester-
days elections in several states. The
democratic committee vowed 1T an
overwhelming and smashing demo-
cratic victory, while the republican
committee also appeared to be very
well pleased with the outcome.
Claim that altogether the results
of Tuesdays elections are a cause
both for rejoicing and jubilation for
democrats and confirm the certainty
of a national victory in 1924, was
embodied in a statement issued py
Chairman Hull of the democratic ma
tfonal committee. The statenehl
further declared:

"The Kentucky statewide election
was a latr ana decisive tcol petm IeH
>democrafIc and republican policies
and between the people and the re-
publican M tional administration. Lo-
cal issues were disposed OF in the pfl-
maries. The campaign Waa fought
almost entirely upon lat cnal issues
and the republicans, in addition TO
making large eNpen6iG1' IN the
campaign, sent many Of their best
national orators into the state, in
Guiding United States senators and
cabinet officers, whose pfca was to
sustain the Coolidge administration.
10000 an6 $4,000 votes in favor of the
democratic candidate, as compared
with the gubernatoria. e;ecton CT
1919, when the republican candidate
for governor had majority of 10000.
National Issues Figure.
Both national and local issues fig
ure in the Maryland election, and the
big increase in the democratic ma
jority and the triumphant election of
the whole ticket in the state and
the city ticket in Baltimore shows
the growth Of democratic sentiment
typical OF the country at large and
confirms all previous evidence that
the country is democratic where the
race is between major candidates.
The desertion of republican voters
is also confirmed by the reduction of
the Republican, majority in Vermont
by approximately 10000 compared
with the senatorial election of 1922
The only item of uncertainty is
over the result in the twenty-fourth
congressional district of New York,
normally a strong republican district,
but which was wrested from that
party in 1922 in the democratic con-
gressiOnal landslide
Altogether the results of Tuesdays
elections are a cause both for graft
ficatfon and jubilation by democrats
and confirm the certainty of a demo-
cratic national victory in 1924
Chairman Adams of the republican
national committee made the follow
ing statement:
Tuesdays election decided one
United States senatorshiD and six
members of the House of Representa-
tives in northern states. OF these
six congressional contests, enc in Hill
nois and two in New YORK state were
in districts hopelessly democratic
One New York district and the Vcr-
mont district are normally republican.
The one district in which there
was real contest was the twenty
fourth New York, embracing part Of
New York city and Westchester coun-
ty. The democrats carried this dis
trict in 1918 by 1000, and again in
1922 by 3,400. They confidently ex-
pected to carry it this year. Tie re-
publican candidate. Benjamin Fair
child, was elected by very substan-
tial majority in a contest in which
national issues were sire SSed.
Both the national and state organ
izations of the democratic party made
unusual efforts to carry the Vermont
senatorial election. Chairman Hull of
the democratic committee issued a
statement on the eve of election, pre-
dieting a democratic victory in that
state.
The republican candidate for the
70 fAs
was elected by 2 to /, and tie repub-
lfcan candidate for the House of
Representatives, f. w. Gibson, by
4. to l."
