WASHINGTON, D. C, March 23.
A commotion in political circles
occurred here today, following the
news pf .the Democratic landslide
yesterday intthe Old Colony section
of Massachusetts in which Eugene
toss was elected to congress by a
plurality of 6000.
The preceding congressional elec
tion in- thel-ith congressional di
tnct gave William Loverinc, a .Re
publican, a plurality of 14,000.
Democrats here are jubilantly de
claring that the next house of rep
resentatives will have a Democratic
majority. Robert O'Brien, editor of
tho Boston Transcript, who is here
today declared that it is a mistake
to assume that the election of Foss
means a rise of the Democratic tide.
Ho declared that W. R. Buchanan,
Foss Republican opponent, was an
unpopular candidate.

BOSTON, Mass., Mnrch 23. The
election of Eugene Foss, a Demo
crat, to congress over his opponent.
W. R. Buchanan, in tho staid Back
Bay section of Boston, caused a po
litical furor hero today. Aside from
its bearing on the political situation
throughout tho country, tho election
means that there will bo a ficht to
a finish in the Massachusetts legis
lature for the toga of Senator Henry
in box Ivodge.
The explanation of Republican de
feat, given by tho Republicans today
is -general dissatisfaction over tho
tariff nnd the belief thnt tho. party

Tho Insurgents declare thatt bey
are willing to leave the matter of ap

cus Is overwhelmingly In the hands
of the Cannon faction. It la gener
ally believed that the caucus will now
name an Insurgent for a place on the

be forced to assume their share of
