NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1916. ELECTION RESULT UPSET TRADITION Pivotal States Can Now Retire to the Rear (Spectal to the Herald) Washington, Nov, 18.—Analysis of "AN OLD AND RESPECTED RESIDENT OF NEW ERITAIN TELLS A STARTLING STORY THAT WILL INTEREST A GREAT MANY P B e 4 arette 207 15¢ the results of the recent election, as- 3 - its results are known, some interesting facts, which demonstrate that revolution suming that shows a in American politics has occurred. For instance, it can not be said that “as goes New York goes the unjon.” Tor many years the Empire State has stood like a bulwark, a ver- itable Gibraltar, and no candidate for the presidency could be elected with- out the aid of its electoral votes. It York but that so is true that Tilden carried New and failed to become president, historians generally agree now he was entitled to the office. Then too, Indiana can hardly claim to be a pivotal state any more. She certainly was not this year, that is provided Wilson is seated after re- counts that are contemplated. The solid south and the west elected W: son apparently. The former was ex- pected, of course, but the west was not really expected to vote almost solidly for Wilson. On the contrary, it is understood that the democratic national campaign managers neglect- ed the west. During the last period MRS. MARIA NAUGHTON. Mrs. Naughton who resides at 342 High St., this city is a well known lady and her word cannot help but car weight. It is this class of testimonials that has made Lax-a-Tone today one of the most famous remedies ever in- troduced. A remedy without a peer and one that is not afraid to have in- wylorsers in your own city testify to it’s merits. Mrs. Naughton says:— of the campalgn they exerted every “For many years I have suffered with indigestion, gas, and bloat.

Progressive West For Wilson, The progressive vote in the west apparently did not swing to Hughes. Senator Borah of Idaho, a progres- ve though regular republican, who has returned to Washington after an almost nation-wide campaigning tour, confirms this anal s of the situation as progressive circles see it. Tt is pointed out that Washington state re-elected Senator Poindexter, a pro- gress! although President Wilson overcame the normal 100,000 repub- lican majority in that state.

Yet in spite of the activities of the Hughes Women's Special train, the Congressional Union for Woman Suf- frage and the Woman’s Political Par- ty, Wilson seems to have carried about ten out of the twelve woman suffrage states. Illinois and Oregon were exceptions to this general rule.

The president's there is attributed part California appears to have gone for Wilson, vet Governor Hiram John- son, progressive or progressive re- publican, was elected senator by 200,- 000 majority. It is recalled that when Judge Hughes was campaigning in California in August there was a | disagreement between the managers of his tour and Johnson, who was then in a contest for the republican nomination for senator. The two | men did not meet. The effect of that | | disagreement, it ie said, was to make many republicans in that state be sus- !pi(‘mus of the Husghes candidacy. i | It is recalled that the New York Herald poll before the election showed an overwhelming majority of California voters to be for Hughes. The preponderance was so great that that paper regarded it as abnormal and decided to discount the Hughes majority in the California poll 50 per | cent. Yet California appears to have ! given several thousand majority for ! Wilson. ! Men connected with the national republican congressional committee | here charge that Johnson traded with the president in California, thus | vinging the state to Wilson, as John- | son was charged with trading with the democrats two years ago. It was said then that there was a deal whereby democrats would vote for Johnson’s re-election as governor in return for Johnson men voting for Phelan, the democratic candidate for senator. Whether there was a deal or not, the fact is that Johnson and Phelan won, the republican candidate | for senator, Joseph R. Knowland, running far behind Johnson. The net result is similar this year, whether there was in fact a deal. Railroad Law Helps, Another thing, the west is under- | stood to have been influenced quite strongly by the settlement or post- ponement of the railroad strike in September. A few days before Labor Day the railroads imposed temporary | embargoes upon shipments of perish- | able goods, which would have become permanent embargoes if the strike had been declared. The farmers, ranchers and orchardists of the west | had their vear's crop about ready to ship and they would have lost mil- lions of dollars’ worth of fruit, veg- etables and other farm products if the freight embargoes had not been called oft.
