“= THe Evection Last WEEK fails to indicate that the 
Democratic party has gained in strength in this Com- 
monwealth nor. that the party policy in Washington has 
been endorsed by the State of Massachusetts. For three 
years Governor Foss, holding the Democratic nomination 
was elected governor. by the coalition of the Democratic 
vote and the disgruntled Republican vote. ‘This year 
Foss wais ignominiously defeated, giving another striking 
illustration of the power of party voting and the neces- 
sity which is laid upon candidates for high office having 
party affiliations. Now the victories for the nominees 
of the. Democratic party have been repeated in the elect- 
ion of Walsh. Mr. Walsh made-a good fight and suc- 
ceeded. in aligning ‘his party with masterly skill but good 
fortune was with him and won the election for him. He 
won not because his party had gained ground in the state, 
but because the Republican vote had been divided. ‘The 
Progressive .party showed unusual and. unexpected 
strength, due in no small measure to the personality of 
the candidate’ and the thorough canvass and barnstorn- 
ing“cafnpaign he conducted: But their success was tragic. 
It seléctéd the Democratic ticket and the leaders of that 
party: may. well. consider the results of. their. activity. 
When -one. considers the boasts. of the organization, is.it 
not surprising that the party has failed to make good? 
It has continued a national quarrel in state politics! 
What relation had this campaign to the unpleasantnesses 
of last year’s campaign? It is evident that there is a 
deadlock and that neither the Progressives nor the Re- 
publican party can get anywhere. ‘The greatest suc- 
cess of the Progressive party will be turning the state 
over to the Democrats. The most hopeful lesson of the 
election was that taught the Republican party, the neces- 
sity of the strengthening of their party along progréssive 
lines. The prodigal ought to come home. On the other 
side, the Progressive party enthusiasts have-made the 
fatal mistake of trying to work out reforms outside the 
party instead of from within. The Se Hac weber ought 
never to have bolted. Gardner is right when he says 
“I should be willing to go a long way toward bringing 
about the state of ‘affairs under which those who have 
been voting the Progressive ticket might be willing once 
more to act with the Republican party.” TYhis.is an end 
devoutly to be wished. An honorable compromise is not 
only desirable but’ is necessary to the true spirit of pro- 
gressivism of the new party inc the renewed Repubtican 
party.
