0 crat Elected in Strang 1- wi.aw publican District-Changs cf flearly 20,000 Yotss. Brockton, Mass, March 23. Tha rat congressional election with tha Aldrloh Payne tariff law as the mala Issue, resulted yesterday In a Democratic landslide In tbe Old Colony section, one of the Republican strongholds of tbe state. It was tha first eleotion since the passage of tha tariff bill. Engene N.

Foss, a brother of Con greesman G. E. Foss, of Illinois. turned a Republican plurality of 14 250 into a Democratic victory ot 640. Tbe vote was: E.

N. of Boston, Demociat, 14.980; William Boobaaan, of Brookton, Republi can, 9,340. It was tbe most overwhelming da feat tbe Republicans have met In Massachusetts since Governor Bate was overthrown by William L. Douglas six years ago. The result Is regarded as of mora than state-wide Importance, for Mr.

Foss stumped the Fourteenth dis trict on catlonal questions and tha people backed hint, op with a whoop. Mr. Foss, In a statemeetlast night. declared the result of the election showed a demand by tbe people that the Republican party fulfill Ita pledge for an honest reduction of tha Urtff. It Is a demand for the immediate repeal of Section 2 ot tbe Payne Aldrloh act, which substitutes retalla- ion for reciprocity and tbreatena commercial warfare with our best customers.

The defeated candidate, Buchanan said "If the result will serve to oon- vince tbe Republican leaders at Washington that something must be speedily accomplished in tha way of lowering tbe cost of living, shall feel that my defeat his not been without value." Warns Republicans. The following is from an editorial lu the Indianapolis Bun, a Beverldgs Republican newspaper: The returns from the Massachus etts congressional eleotion foreoast what will happen In the national elections this fall, If tbe Repnbll cars Insist upon defending th Payne tariff. A congressional district which baa always been rock ribbed RepablU oan, withstanding even the Demo cratlo landslide of 1892, and which went Republican over 14.000 two years ago, now goes Democratlo by Tbe only Issue waa the Payna tariff. He made his fight In the campaign Just closed solely upon tha tariff. His ohallenge was accepted by tha Taft administration and the Inter ests, United States Senator Lodge balng detailed to go into the district to reply to Foss.

Lodge was one ot the leading defenders of tbe Payna Aldrich tariff during Its discussion In tbe senate, and he was tbe especial guardian of tbe infamous. sonedules npon woolen and cotton goods. Lodge attempted to Justify tba Payne tariff; be tried to make tba Republicans bellevo It Is an honest redemption of tbe promise to revlsa tbe tariff downward In tbe Interest of tbe people; be tried to convince. tba people that the Payne tariff baa nothing to do with high prices; ha appealed to their party pride and nrged them to stand by tba admin titration. All this availed nothing except to emphasize the repudiation of tha Payne tariff In the home of It friends.

No Issue waa aver mora squarely drawn, and tha people refused to accept the Payne tariff aa a fulfillment of the Republican party's promise to revise the tar 13 In the interest of the consumer.

Elkhart, March 27. (Bps-lal "Blue law" enforcement was carried out to the letter in Elkhart today, and up to a late hour toalgbt not a single violation tf the statute which prohibits persons from "fol lowing their usual vooation on Ban-day" bad been reported.

Orchestras In tbe cafes were si lenoed, cigar casts were closed, fruit and refreshment stands and rug stores were locked tight, livery men refused to let out carriages ex- cetin cases of necessity, and every oor In the bqsiness district was closed. Even the boat liveries and utomoblle garages were under the key. Dairymen delivered milk only in case of necessity and loe men re fused to make deliveries, although the day was hot and the demand for tee was urgent and incessant. Nothing bnt Easter servioes at tbe cbnrcbes broke tha desert mo notony and the congregations In all were large. These conditions were brought about as tbe result of a police edict closing everything after Mayor Chester, the polloeand Deputy Pros eoutor E.

A. Bklnner had bsen ao cused by tbe Ministerial Associa tlon and Law and Order League of nslncerlty following the arrest by Ihe local polios of the theater managers who opened their playhouses a week ago today. Tbe ministers Insisted on prose cutlng tbe theater managers them selves and Induced Prosecutor Bu rla of Goshen to dismiss tbe oases filed last Monday morning by tbe police In the City Court and rtflle them in the Circuit Court In the transfer of the oases the Rev J. if. Briesh, president of the Ministerial Association, appeared as proeeout- ng witness in the place of Police Chief Rinehart, who filed the origi nal affidavits against the theatrical managers.

Mayor Chester, In a statement to the public, explained bis attitude In enforcing the "blue law" by stating that be desired tbe public to know ust what the law means If strictly enforced and not broadly Interpreted by the authorities. Tbe question grew out of the agitation by tbe Ministerial Association against Sun day amusements. Hundreds of people left the city on the Interurbans, the eleotrio rail way being oompelled to run extra cars to carry the crowds to South Bend and other points. Jill Of Rev-A. A.
