R Buchanan, in the staid back bay sec tion of Boston, caused a political furor here today. Aside from its bearing on the political situation throughout the country, the election means that there will bo a fight on to a finish in the Massachusetts legis lature for the toga of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. The explanation of Republican dc feat given by the Republicans today is "general dissatisfaction over the tariff, and the belief that the party in power was not paying enough atten tion to the question of the high cost of living." The elected Democrats say: "The people are swinging to Democracy as their only hope for a change in con ditions." Foss' victory is a popular one. and already he is being boomed as a can didate, for senator to succeed Lodge. it is possible that the Democrats and progressive Republicans in the legis lature may combine to elect an oppo nent of Lodge. Foss, discussing his election, says: "The vote is the result oMhe peo ple's demand that tho Republicans shall fulfill their pledges of an honest downward revision of the tariff. It is a 'in:nnd that Canada bo treated decently."
