Washington, Nov. 9 A political
revolutipn which has shattered tra
ditions and deluged republicans un
der a tidal wave of democracy has
swept the country. It has upset the
precedents of a generation, changed
the political complexion of the na
tional house of representatives and
presaged the national political fight
in 1912. The full and effective re
sult was not realized until today,
when the sober second thought turn
ed to a, consideration of the outcome.
The socialists made amazing gains,
electing at least one of their party to
congress and lie will be the first of
that political propaganda to sit in the
national house. He is Victor L, Bee
fier, of Milwaukee. -
Renatorships have fallen; a sting
ing rebuke has been administered to
the republicans for the high cost of
living caused by the tariff bill. Par
ticularly did interest turn today to
the defeats of the candidates and is
sues sponsored by ex-President
Roosevelt. The overthrow of Colonel
Roosevelt's doctrine o fnew nation
alism and the defeat of many of the
men he supported has by no means
silenced the question:", "What; will
Roosevelt do in 19X2?"
With the machinery of the govern
ment in the hands of the democrats,
two far-reaching results are in view:
The election of Representative Champ
Clark, of Missouri, or some other
democrat speaker and the possible
revision of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
by the sixty-second congress.
The great national pivotal states of
New York, Massachusetts, Ohio and
Indiana are democratic and through
out the west insurgency either pre
vailed or democrats upholding the
ROOSEVELT GOES
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Oysitcr Cay, L. 1.. Nov. 9 Colonel
Theodore Itoosevelt went Into seclu
sion today for a ten days rest. He
would make no comment upon defeat
of the republicans in New York or
elsewhere.
A diplomatic negro butler conveyed
the information to a small army of
newspaper men that the colonel did not
want to see anybody, reporters least of
nil and as for discussing the election,
he might possibly talk of something
else but not that.
As the correspondents approached
Sagamore Hill this morning seeking
light upon the colonel's feeling, Colonel
Roosevelt could be seen through the
windows, seated in his library in. the
midst of i pile of newspapers while he
I rati wun apparent inicicai
of yesterday's landslide.
When the butler approached the col
onel with the information that the
newspapermen awaited an audience
the colonel could be seen shakingg his'
head and talking rapidly. The butler
Hiibsequently announced to the cor
respondents, many of whom are old
friends of Colonel Roosevelt, having
Journeyed with hiiri on campaign trips,
that the former president had nothing
to say. . Privately the butler conveyed
the intelligence that the colonel did
not want to see any one at all.
Colonel Roosevelt's future plans are
known only to himself. His closest
friends who appreciate his tremendous
energy and bulldog tenacity say that
lie "has just started to light" for his
political Ideals and principles.
principles of insurgency were pretty
generally elected.
The eyes of the nation were focus
ed upon New York because of the ac
tivity of, Roosevelt in that. ; state.
Roosevelt and Roosevelt's future was
an absorbing issue. The election of
John A. Dlx governor and the bal
ance of his democratic ticket discred
ited, according to political students,
the doctrine of new nationalism
which Colonel Roosevelt hoped to
mould into a great national party.
The far reaching effects were hard
ly recognized today so vast are tney
in their consequences. The oligarchy
of power in the United States senate
has been hurst asunder and the next
congress ' will open under a 'totally
new regime.
A democratic legislature in New
York will choose a successor to Sen
ator Depew. Senator A. .1. Tlover-
idge, Insurgent republican, and pa
trone;! by Roosevelt, has been doleat-
ed in Indiana and will be sueceeeded
by John W. Kern. Senator N. 1!.
Scott's senatorial seat from West Vir
ginia is in doubt. Democrats claimed
that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
would not be returned from Massa
chusetts. Senator Nelson W. Aid
rich, one of the framers of the tarift
which bears his name, withdrew from
the race for re-election when he s
the trend of events weeks ago, and
Maine, which went democratic recent
ly, will elect a democrat to succeed
Eugene Hale in the senate.
Political interest far and near is
directed towards the congressional
results with the promise of democrats
looming up that measure will be
taken to reduce the cost of -.'- livnn
through tariff revision. As the -sit
nation is broadly considered today
the democrats will have a chance to
carry out their program in the house
and, by an alliance of democrats and
Insurgents in the senate, the situation
will present the picture of a demo-
cratic congress forcing legislation
under the pend of a republican presi
dent.
The election of Captain Ben. W.
Hooper, the fusionist-republican can
didate for governor in .Tennessee,
was one of the anonamlies of the elec
tion. This was the first break in tne
"solid south" which has been prom
ised for 1912.
Democrats, of Tennessee today
claimed that the break was on local
Issues solely.
There were varying phases of the
situation which were a puzzle to
those who tried to analyze them to
day.' .
" The election of Eugene Foss, demo
crat, governor of Massachusetts and
Judge Simon E. Baldwin, democrat
governor of Connecticut, coupled
with the earlier democratic landslide
in Maine has completely changed the
political complexion of New England
There will be many faces new to
Washington in the sixty-second con
gress. but not one of the new mem
bers will be watched more closely
than Victor Berger, the socialist, who
has been elected a representative
from Milwaukee.
Result In New York,
New York, Nov. 9 it is a demo
cratic landslide in New York state.
Although all the returns were not In
today they were not necessary to
show that John A. Dix has been
elected governor with from 60,000 to
65,000 plurality, carrying his entire
state ticket with him. The victory
is the greatest that New York state
democrats have achieved in a genera
tion. Of the seventeen congressmen m
Greater New York only one is a re
publican. The lone republican is
William M. Calder, of Brooklyn, who
squeezed through with a narrow mar
gin so that his election was in doubt
until today. ,
The democrats will have a plural
ity of seven votes in the next state
senate and twenty-two in the assem
bly, assuring the election of a dem
ocrat to the United States senate to
succeed Chauncey M. . Depew. In
fluential leaders were busy today lis
tening to the many names that were
mentioned as "potential" possibili
ties. .
A great surprise came in the con
gressional balloting.
Herbert Parsons, political chum of
Colonel Roosevelt, was defeated by
Jefferson M. Levy. William S. Beh
nett, republican, who had the fight'
