THE WORM TURNED.
According to the political wlse-
ncres and mathematicians here the
prohibitionists Anti-Saloon league
nnd whiskey-reformers were the on-
ly people who received hard bumps
In Tuesday's elections. In no part
of Hie country except In a few of
tho rural counties of Illinois did tho
prohibitionists make notable head-
way. In Auburn N Y.. despite the
fiercest flKtit ever known they
could not prevent the election of a
brewer named Kociilg as iimjiir.
The Antl-Salonn league mid nil the
ministers of the town united In plac-
arding; the city with denunciation
of the business In which Kocnlg
was engaged but tho voters decided
that his character nnd not his bus-
iness should bo considered and
tnado hlui nmor by a largo major
ity On a keepdownthelld Issue
three of tho big cities of Ohio gave
tho prohibitionists u big beatliiK
The Issue was especially emphasized
at Toledo whero Maor Wliltlock
made the race on a liberal platform
In tho matter of tlio lid. lie won by
;000 majority tho greatest majority
ho oer had. Columbus turned
down the nutl-drlnk people In the
imo kind of way and Cincinnati
on a somewhat similar Issue elect-
ed ns mayor a veteran Cicrmaii edi-
tor U-opoM M'arkbrelt who openly
nnnomiced that ho was opposed to
narrow nem In handling the whis-
key proWem.
According to mathematicians.
Kentucky went republican on no
other issue than opioltion to the
prohibition policies of (lovernor
lleckham and IiIb party under two-
thirds of tho counties of tho slate
nru dry New Jersey came within
an nee of going democratic with a

CURRENT TOPICS AT CAPITAL
RECENT ELECTION AFTERMATH
Vrdin.ifor. Siieiial
(By Willis J. Abbot.)
Washington. Nm Tin- t
e. i linns held on Tuesday the :ui
'( Nmomhor which hud 1 1 Must
Importance were those In New York
county ami In Cleveland Ohio
The reason tney were Important Is
that President ltooevet wrt Very
seriously Involved In both and was
very emphatically beaten In each.
Some months ago Mr. Hoosuvelt set
forth lo purify republican hi11IIch In
New York. Ho saw there In control
a man named Odell former gov
ernor of the stole and a political as-
sociate or on !:. ll llnrrlmnn. Mr.
Ilarriii..tii had been described by-
Mr. Itoosevolt at illvcru Union iib
nil undesirable citizen and as a
practical man. In Iho latter capacity
he had been Invited to tho white
house to contribute his mite lo
Iho Koosevelt campaign fund. The
fund having been used Mr. Harrl-
man wiih turned down vigorously
and etuphntlcally. Herbert Parsons
was mnde the arbiter of the Roose-
velt destinies In .New York. Mr.
Parsons nrrnngei' to tie up the re
publican organization with the Hearst
rgunUutlon. He made a fusion.
Hearst got hIx nominees tho re-
puhllcum .e. lutldenlally Iho of-
fices hande'I to Hearst were those
that paid the blgges' salaries or
fees. It Is a matter of almost ab-
solute knowledge that this fusion
wns made with the knowledge and
consent and Ukjii tho advice of the
president. It was a trade made
by the man who was put In control
of local politics In New York by
Theodore Itoosevell and imnlo with
tin- knowledge of his sponsor. And
the house of cards built up by
uoosewlt and Parsons with Hearst
as Its foundation has now gone
df.wn Into complete collapse and
ruin.
It Is the most utter nonsense to
say that Mr. Roosevelt was Ignorant
of this New York fusion. Kvery step
made In It was taken by til men
In New York to whom ho has given
con t nil of tho republican organiza-
tion there. The fusion was not wholly
between tho republican party and
the Independence league. Iteditcert to
lis lowest terms It was a fusion be-
tween Itoosevolt and Hearst.
The Administration In Ohio.
A very brilliant democrat Tom
IMohusnn has been elected for the
fourth time mayor of Cleveland
Johnson Is what Is called a demo-
cratic democrat llo Is n democrat t
the very highest degree of democracy
He carries the edniocratlc maxim of
"equal rights to all and special priv-
ileges In none" to Its logical con-
clusion. He lias been a member of
congress and while there admitted
that as an Individual he was a party
to a trust. And after having m ad-
mitted very cheerfully voted against
the Interests of that trust. He as-
serted then that as a business man
he would take advantage of every law
willed he and Ills kind might pres-
to enrich himself at the expense
of the people. Hut that ns a public
man ho would fight so far ns he
was able to annul Iho laws by
which ho nil his kind might pros-
Iter. I temetuber very well In IM7
Tom Johni.011 controlled tho Brook-
lying street railroads. Yet he went
out to make a fight for Henry (leorge
as candldato for mayor of greater
New York oven though he knew
(leorgo believed absolutely In mu-
nicipal ownership of railroads. John
son Is a successful business man.
and a radical democrat. Jf ho wero
an unsuccessful business man ho
would bo ridiculed Just ns harshly
for his political vluws. As neatly as
It can bo figured out from tho
cheap talk of newspaper! ! ibis
sort tho man who Is thoroughly suc-
cessful in business and expr'jjes
his political views with frankness
and earnestness Is only a dema-
gogue; tho man to whom fortune has
not come but who still fights for
his opinion Is merely ono of th:
down and miters striving to gi t
back Into ' more prominence by his
devotion to a party or a cause. Let
any one look over the criticism
mnde ukiii public men In the demo-
cratic party from Ilryan down and
ho will see that this tendency to
criticise the rich man who is demo-
cratic or tho poor man who Is
democratic Is almost universal.
That Is part of tho lesson taught
by tho triumph of Tom Johnson In
Cleveland. This Is another portion:
Mr. Ilurtou his opponent has been
for years his personal friend
More than that ho has during all
tho time that Tom Johnson con-
trolled the politics of Cleveland or
of Cuyahog county ho has been
si nt to congre-s without any ma-
1'iial nti'agonlMii on the part of
the democrats of that disrci Mr
Burton Is recognized as one cf tin-
men of great uhllilj In coiigri -'.
Note meredoea ho represent his
dlstilct with forco and with Industry
but he Is known as one of the small
group of repierenlatlves who ar
really nblo to affect legislation
Mayor Johnson has repeatedly said
that Burton's election was good for
the city. Now comes Mr. Itoosevolt
and Intervenes onco more In a local
Issue. He urged Burton to bo a
candidate against Johnson. Burton
said so himself. Tuft urged him to
be a candidate. TIiIb too Mr. Bur-
ton declared. Hut with the full
fotco of tho administration back of
him and with tho lecoril nf John-
son's off repeated approval of his
congressional policy Mr. Burton has
been beaten and beaten badly.
What Doe It Mean?
Washington Is a cynical town
TW people here notably the mem-
bers of either houso of congress
and the correspondents have not the
enthusiasm about tho president that
Is manifested in places further
away from tho While llouso. The
story is current here that .Mr. Bur-
ton was scut like a lamb to the
slaughter. In congress he had op-
posed the president's plan for an
enormous Increase of the navy. As
chairman of tho rivers and harbors
committee ho had antagonized the
plan for the development of western
waterways. Ono of his acquain-
tances told me today that there was
no man In rongress so well Inform-
ed concerning Inland watoiways as
Burton That may be yet one wond-
ers whether representing a Cleve-
land district be can be entirely un-
selfishly devoted to an eastern
water route whllo opposing ns he
does Iho route from Lake Michigan
to tho gulf. There Is some specu-
lation as to whether In order to
get rid of Burton the president did
not i-ond him up against this hope-
less light. Had ho been elected he
would havo been out of congress
and ceased to be a thorn In the
presidential llesh. Defeated as he
is. ho will not hold his old place
I of Inlluence In congress. And after
tho attacks he has made upon Tom
Johnson personally It Is tint prob-
able that In Iho next congressional
election ho will be given a perfectly
fair Held. There will be no more
men of straw- set up against Bur-
ton. I'eoplo wonder whether Mr.
Roosevelt did not urge him to run
In order that this result might not
bo accomplished
In Other States.
In Massachusetts tho democratic
party lost and lost deservedly. Tho
old organization party the men who
cared less for democracy than for
mere Immedlato victory put up a
candidate who stood for every pub-
lic service corporation every plu-
tocratic lnfluenco In the state. Na-
turnlly he was beaten after u scan-
dal which hurt the party greatly.

ney the candidate to whom 1 refer

whose votes came from the demo-
cratlc party nnd Ilartlctt who op-

was due to the determination of

to believe that distinguished repnb
llcans were engaged In this con-

democratic victory throughout tho
nation. While local Issues nt Mime
points were douilniut yet as a rule
the election returns showed n
tcady drift among voters toward
the democratic party. In the doubt-

municipalities went democratic.
