XOW TIME TO STOP KXIFLNG Chronicle Says Country Prefers Democrats to Insurgents. SAN Fr.AXCISCO,' Nov. . (Special.) Under the headline "Tha Fruits of In sursency." tha Chronicle saya editorial ly today: At this writing the actual extent of the Democratic victories In the Eastern states in not known. Nor are more de tails necessary for understanding what has happened to the Republican party. A Governor or Senator more or less la of no great consequence. Sufficient Is known to be able to state that. If by the general Indorsement of Insur gency at the primary elections the Re publican party did not actually commit political suicide. It came so near death's door that It will be In the hospital for many a long day. Democratic Governors In New York, Massachusetts. Ohio. Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana and probably even Iowa with Congressional gains every where, undoubtedly assuring Demo cratic control of the House of Repre sentatives, and the probable election of Legislatures which will elect Demo cratic Senators to replace Republicans Incumbents are sufficient to show what tha country thinks of Republican In surgents. It has not the least confidence In their honesty and has not the allghtest Intention of placing the Government In their hands. As between Republican Insurgents and Democrats, the Ameri can electors prefer the Democrats. They know what Democrats stand for, which Is the entire destruction of tha protective aystem, but can form no Idea of what the Insurgents would do. Enough la now known to make It evident to all that. If tha Republican party expects ever to recover from tho blow It has received. Its membershfp must cease from civil war upon each other and reunite on the basis of re spect for each other's honesty, tolera tion of minor difference of opinion, and a determination to assert Itself onca mora aa a united party of con struction and education on the basis of the square deal for the rich as well as the poor. SEXATORSHIP IS IX DOUBT Advisory Primary Vote Is Said to Rave Proved Farce. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Nov. '. (Spe cial.) The election falls to settle the United States Senatorship and the re sult may be that Flint will continue to wear the toga. The judgment of poli ticians la that the question will not be decided until the 39th session of the Legislature does It. The "advisory vote" primary provided to Illuminate the way of Legislators and dissolve all doubts, seems to have proven a farce. Today, the delegation from south of the Tehachapl confessedly does not know where It stands. The contest Is open and may be disposed of by the 20 hold-over Senators representing the odd-numbered districts. The good government organization leaders admit that they have no hope for ex-Judge John D. Works, their choice as Flint's successor, and they expect him to receive no more than a perfunctory first-ballot compliment at Sacramento. His chancea are consid ered equally good with those of E. A Meserve and A G. Bpaldlng. who also sought the advisory nomination. Theo dore A. Bell la expected to be tha Dem ocratic aspirant.

ROOSEVELT IS CENSURED Newspapers Declare Spilt in Party Caused by ex-President Brought About Defeat and Blights His Future. Chances. PARIS, Nov. 9. Tha French press gives prominence today to the American elec tions. The writers generally agree that the high cost of living was the funda mental cause of tha Republican losses. The Temps thinks the outcome was due partly to a split In the Republican party for which Roosevelt was largely respon sible, and In a measure to the vengeance of the political bosses and tha trusts upon Roosevelt. However, the paper adds that it Is dif ficult to foresee the future, particularly whether Mr. Roosevelt's chances for the Presidency have been blighted. The Slecle concludes that the Repub lican party was hit as hard as Mr. Roose velt was and attributes Its overthrow to the unpopularity of the Fayne-AIdrlch law and the opposition of the financial Interests. It docs not think the result Indicates the end of the ex-President's political influence. LO!DOX- PAPERS EASY OX T. R. The Standard and the Times Do Xot Think Colonel Down and Out. LONDON. Nov. 10. The morning newspapers print long editorials on the elections subject. The Standard thinks It an exaggeration to 'describe the elections as a crushing blow to Roose velt or an overwhelming defeat to the Republican party. Roosevelt, says the paper, may pop up again, while the party under Paesldent Taft might pull Itself together ' for a great effort In Presidential election. "Roosevelt's faults," added the Stand ard, "lay In the belief that party or ganization must Instantly be remodeled and that he was the only person to carry out the tank. In a duel between a man and the machine It Is not gener ally the man who survives." The Dally Graphic says: "Insurgency certainly has enveloped the country. The only party system Is perilously near the melting pot. If not actually In It." Tho Chronicle sees In the result re volt against" protection. The Daily News says: "Mr. Roosevelt took upon himself to reform American politics without refer ence to any other person or Influence a kind of assumption from which the American form of democracy fights shy." ' The Express says: "Roosevelt encompassed his own failure. Intoxicated by the passion of bis own overatlng Influence, of his personality, he wrecked his party by the indiscriminate violence of his cam paign." The Tlmea says: "Hard as Is the blow for Roosevelt and Taft. we are far from believing that either the ex Presldent Is down and out or the word failure' must be written of Taft's .Ad ministration. Mr. Roosevelt may learn moderation from his defeat; In any case he la too valuable an asset to be dis pensed with by his country and too forceful a personality to permit of such treatment. We cannot but note that the tide swept Into office men like Wilson and Harmon. Such men mtst prove a gain to the country's public life." Cardinal Merry del Val Happy. ROME. Nov. . The results in the American election were received here with keenest Interest.

SUCCESS SEEMS ASSURED Washington Wonders Whether He Will Drive Mnles Down Pennsyl vania Avenue, as He Promised Opposing Auto for Cannon. CHICAGO. Nov. 9. (Special.) Champ Clark, of Missouri, who will probably ' be elected Speaker of the House on the organization of Sixty second Congress, Informally announced his candidacy for the position Febru ary 27,' 1908. A whole Congress will have Intervened between that an nouncement and the realization of the prospective speaker's ambition. There was under consideration on the floor of the House, a resolution relative to the reassignment of office room In connection with the .opening of the new several-mllllon-dollar House office building, and It was proposed successfully to remove the Ways and Means Committee from the very desira ble and commodious quarters It had occupied for years In the House wing of the Capitol, to give the speaker an enlarged and Imposing suite, and Champ Clark was defending the com mittee against the territorial encroach ment of czardom. and In one of the drollest of coloqulal speeches made in Congress In recent years, he said: Tempting Bait Offered. "Mr. Speaker. I do not have any idea that the Hepubllc will cease to exist no matter how this question la determined, still. It Is a matter of a good deal of interest to the members of the ways and means committee and It is a matter of some Importance to the other' members of the Ho ise. My friends offer me the very tempting bait, that, after the fourth of next March. In my capacity as Speaker. I will occupy these rooms now occupied by the ways and means com mittee. (Applause and laughter). "I used to have a constituent named Nat C Dryden. a very brilliant man, who waa very1 fond of giving out this dictum, 'a bird In the hand Is the nobleot work of God.' (Laughter). "I am the ranking Democratic mem ber on the committee of ways and means, and no matter how the cat jumps at the next election. I suppose, as a matter of ordinary courtesy, I would retain that place If the House- were Re publican; if Democratic, why Barkis Is willing in the matter of the Speaker ship. (Applause). More Rooms Needed. The situation about the Speakership Is this: There are 391 members In this House, one of them Is Speaker, and not a single one of the other 390 would de cline It If the office were offered to him on a silver platter. Now the Speaker has a small room and In the present exigency In which the presiding otiicer of the House finds himself, he ought to have two. (Laughter and applause.) "There are three sorts of people who wait on the Speaker one set on busi ness, another set on business and an other Just set to eee the Speaker, and shake hands That room Is not as com modious as It ought to be for the Speaker. I freely admit It. Certainly he ought to have two. perhaps three. "I will tell you how I feel about that in connection with the Speakership. The first time that my wife and I ever attended a White House dinner, she was assigned the Peruvian Minister to talk any Peruvian (laughter) and he talk and Peruvian (laughter) and he could not talk much English and. though she Is a fine talker, the con versation lagged somewhat. But sit ting on her right was Mr. Secretary of State John Sherman. She had never been Introduced to the Secretary but she recognized him by his pictures. She had frequently told me privately that she intended. If she ever got close enough to him. to ask him about the crime of '73 (laughter). Mrs. Clark Willing. "She scraped up an acquaintance and Secretary Sherman explained to her How the President and his wife were bedeviled with all sorts of people, and how unsanitary the conditions of the White House were, and that it woie the President and his wife to a frazzle and endangered their health even their lives- After drawing as gloomy a pic ture as he could, he asked her, 'Madame, would you be willing to see your hus "Iband live In this house four years with all that trouble and danger and under those conditions?" With that good sense which she exhibited when she picked her husband, she said: 'Yes, I tlnk I would.' " (Great laughter.) "She said she was willing to take the chance of unsanitary conditions and nervous prostration to see her husband In the White House for four years. "Well, I would like to see the Speaker have two rooms and I would be per fectly willing to accept the Speaker ship with one or even without one." (Laughter).
