Kven Old Boston Wakes Up".
Boston, Mass., March 23. The elec
tlon of Eugene Foss, a Democrat, to
congress over his opponent, W. 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
