one of the Kepubll can strongholds of the State placed Eu Kene jr Foss of Boston one of the countrys leading exponents of reciprocity with Canada in the congressional seat ofj the late William Lovering Mr Foss accomplished what was regarded as alnjost a political miracle turning a Republican plurality of 14250 into a Democratic victory of 6640 The vote today was Eugepe Foss of Boston Dem 1480 William Buchanan of Brockton Rep il 9310 It w4s the most overwhelming defeat that thV Republicans have met in Massachusetts since Gov Bates was over throwij by William Douglas six years ago Champion of Reciprocity The result is considered of more than State wide iinportance for Mr Foss stumped the Fourteenth district on national questions and the people backed him up was the first contest to be decided by the vomers since the Payne Aldrich tariff bijl became operative and had a peculiar interest on that account Mr Foss who has figured In several campaigns first as a Republican and latterly as a Dem ocrat with moderate protectionist leanings if well known in the Northeastern States and in Canada as a champion of Canadian reciprocity an issue which led him tq leave the itepublican party last year and become the Democratic candi date for lieutenant governor He failed by onli 8000 votes to carry the State at that time Cost of Living an Issue Another subject which was discussed in the campaign was the higrh cost of living The Democratic campaigners charged the Payne Aldrich tariff bill and the fairure of the Republican party to properly supervise the trusts with being imalnly responsible for the high cost of living This attack was met by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge who de livered an address at Brockton last Saturday night In which he stated that increases had occurred principally articles upon which the duty had been lowered when the tariff was revised last year Mr Foss In replying to Sen ator Lodge presented a list of comparative food prices in Montreal St John New Brunswick and Boston which he used as an argument against the allegation that the cost of provisions Is due to a world wide upward price movement The Fourteenth district has been the most consistently Republican district in Massachusetts having never before elected a Democrat to Congress Congressman Lovering carried the district la 19C8 by the enormous plurality of 14250 and it appeared at the time of Congressman Loverlngs death last winter that a man canvassing under Democratic colors would have no hope whatever Shift Difficult to Analyze The remarkable shift of votes today is dlffjcult to analyze The Republican leaders admit that their party in the district was divided partly due to the failure of Judge Robert Harris to win the nomination at the primaries Judge Harris took no part In the campaign but many of his friends to geher with other dissatisfied Republicans worked to defeat Mr Buchanan Mr Buchanan had also to meet ttie at tack that he was not a strong party man his opponents pointing to the fact that he wajs formerly the secretary of Gov William Douglas a Democrat The Brockton man was further handicapped by a theory that Mr Foss was as good a Republican as himself and It is true that Mr Foss prominence in the Republican party previous to last year brought many pupporters tQ his standard Twenty flye thousand ballots were cast today which is about four fifths of the average vote ip the three past congressional elections Jrtepriesentative elect Foss5s a jjromlneut manufacturer banker and capitalist of Boston He had been twice defeated for Congress in the Eleventh district Buchanan is the publisher of the Brock ton Times Both See Lessons to Republicans Mr jFoss In a statement tonight declared the result cf the election showed a demand by the people that the Re publican party fulfill ltaledgei for an bonestj reductiqirpf tha WrtftJ Itig dematid forthe iinroedlate re wsaT of section 3 of tier layhe Aidrich act which substitutes retaliation for reciprocity and threatens commercial warfare with our best customers Tie continued The defeated candidate William Buchanan said 9 It the result will serve to convince the Republican leaders at Washington that something must be speedily accomplished in the way of lowering the cost of living I shall feel that my defeat has not been without value His Brother in Congress Eugene Foss is a brother of Rep resentative George Edmund Foss a Republican member from Illinois who has rbeen in Congress fifteen years The election of Foss aroused great interest in theHouse yesterday and an announcement of the Democratic victory made on the floor during the afternoon caused loud applause from that side of the chamber To none however did the election have so deep an Interest as to Representative Foss of Illinois The brothers came origi nally from Vermont Both left home early In life and went into business for themselves Eugene in Massachusetts and George in Illinois The one elected to Congress yesterday became a manu facturer and amassed a fortune He had always been a Republican but left the party on the tariff and other issues My brothers election is nothing less than a miracle said Representative Foss But he is a great fighter and I am not surprised We are very fond of each other but suppose we will have some warm times when he comes down here and sits in the chamber opposite me Eugene Noble Foss was born in West Berkshire Vt September 24 185S He was graduated with the degree of A from the University of Vermont in 1881 In 1882 he settled in Boston and entered the manufacturing business He is treasurer and general manager of Sturte vant Co and is a director in many large corporations including the Union Stock Yards Company and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company He has been prominent in Massachusetts since 1902 in advocacy of tariff revision and reciprocity Irt lS84he married Miss Lllla Sturtevant of Boston Mr Foss lives In Jamaica Plains Mass

him Woe is us chorused Republican statesmen last evening in solemn and poetical Imitation of Jeremiah and his lamentations when they heard the returnsfroni the Fourteenth congressional district of Massachusetts And well they might lament since the plurality of 14200 given to the Republican candidate in November 1908 was twisted into a Democratic margin of 5600 at the special election held to fill the vacancy caused by the death of William a Lover ing The Republican stalwarts from the Old Bay State who are not given ta violating the traditional culture of New England looked aghast at one another and exclaimed Aint it awful Mabel But the war horses from the middle West where more consideration is shown to vigorous expressiveness rather ihan to the elegant niceties of language crocked dismally Aint it hell And the uni versal response uttered lugubrlousIywas It is Republicans and Democrats have reen analysing the returns from this citadel of Republicanism and radically aa they differ usually in political matters they were not disagreeing last night on what the election of Foss the Democratic can uiaaie ay nearly ouuu majority over Buchanan the Republican signifies The Democrats are certain it is an augury of a Democratic landslide at the congressional elections next November Ill Omen for Party The Republicans frankly admit it is an omen which portends ill foT tlieir party If the Fourteenth Massachusetts ever has gone Democratic before the politicians from that State who are in Washington cannot recall it If even withstood the Democratic landslide of 1S92 which swept Cleveland into the White House and gave his party an unwieldy majority In the House The personality of the rival candidates for Representative Loerings seat was a factor in the election yesterday Buchanan the Republican had alienated many men of his party because he was one of the managers of Douglas the shoe manufacturer who was elected governor of Massachusetts on the Democratic ticket a few years ago and afterward became his private secretary Consequently he had no right to expect the undivided support of the Republicans In his campaign Foss became a Democrat about a year ago was nominateov for lieutenant governor by the Democrats and succeeded In curtailing the Republican majority in the State although the pulled inrougn Stl But Foss promised durine the short campaign that terminated yesterday not to be a candidate again next fall and this naturally proved a handicap to Buchanan because In the event of his success he would have been a candidate to succeed himself and would thus snuff out tne aspirations of more representative Republicans who would like to represent the Fourteenth district In Congress A Crushing Defeat Leaving out of consfderatioh all personal elements the Republicans on the Massachusetts delegation do not deny that Foss election by such a large majority signifies a sensational and tre mendous reversal of political sentiment thai Cfnfn Tn nnx uuk aiiu yen uuuiuny in me New York Mar 22 The President of the United States spoke in the cause of world peace tonight before such a brilliant assemblage at the Hotel Astor that he described It as superlative He was the honor guest at a banquet of the Peace and Arbitration League and the principal speaker International peace was the keynote of every address but no speaker advocated the Immediate disarmament of nations On the other hand all agreed that armies and navies were necessary until more Utopian conditions shall have come about On this point President Taft said Because we are in favor of universal peace and in favor of arbitration in order to secure it we stand together that we are not In favor of our country giving up that which we now use for the pur pose of securing peace to wit our arma ment In our army and our navy Need of Warships Tremendous applause greeted his declarations and he continued I do mot want to seem inconsistent in speaking so emphatically here in favor of peace by arbitration and in using every ejfort that I can bring to bear on Congress to have two more battleships this year I am hopeful that we may continue with that policy until the Panama Canal i3 constructed so that then our naval force shall be doubled by reason of the connection between the two coasts and thenwe can stop and think whether we wish to go further Perhaps by that time there will beadopted a means of reducing armament And when It comes I am sure we will not be the power to interfere with that general movement The expense of armament Is working toward peace The expense of war I am sorry to say is ha vlnggreater weight in preserving peace than the expenss of lives A nation does not lightly enter qpon war now and for two reasons First because the expense Js so great that It 1s likely to lead her to bankruptcy ven if shewins and second that if she does not win the government or dynasty or whatever it may be that Is in control of the government is likely to go down un der the humiliation of that defeat by the hands of her own people Those two things are working in a healthful way toward peace Should Arbitrate Honor leagueiTielcomedthe President and then

the plurality given to Lovering a year and a half ago but dkt not think the district wouid go Democratic The Democrats on the other hand would have been satisfied if Loverings plurality had been cut in two and only Monday night Representative Lloyd of Missouri chairman of the Democratic Congressional campaigncampaign committee who had gone to Massachusetts to look over the situation said that Foss would achieve a notable triumph if he reduced the Republican plurality to 6000 but was defeated Democrats Are Jubilant It is not surprising therefore that the Democrats in Congress are jubilant be yond measure while the Republicans are wondering where they stand The Dem ocrats have been predicting the election of a Democratic House next all and now point to the result of the Fourteenth Massachusetts district as substantial evidence of the reasonableness of thejr fore-casts They were overjoyed when a few veeksago tne sixtn Missouri district went Democratic imore heally thanlt ever

Re publican leaders in Congressdo notTeJ gard the result inMassachusettsjWittf grave concern1 rft jy Personally I do not see any more reason why matters of national honor should not bei referred to a court of arbitration than matters of property or matters of national proprietorship I know that is going further than most men Are willing to go but I do not see why questions of honor may not be submitted to atribunal supposed to be composed of men of honor who understand questions of national honor as well as any other question or I difference arising hetween nations Leaving the question of peace the President touched upon the violation of the rights of aliens in this country recommending as he did in his inaugural address Investing the chief executive and the Federal courts with authority to pass upon such violations jcommitted in the several States He did not refer to the Japanese or any other foreigners but he spoke of the Inadequacy of having treaty violations passed upon by governors or local district attorneys and continued So I thought that In view of the fact that we are all agreed about arbitration and peace and the abolishment of war fwe can bring It about that I would suggest pne practical means by which you can clothe your executive wjth the means of avoiding difficulties with for egn countries and with a means of avoiding putting your executive and yourselves in a humiliating position with reference to your pledged promise Ambassadors Among Speakers Two ambassadors Count von Bernstorff of Germany and Signor de la Barra of Mexico were among the speakers of the evening as were Chairles Fairbanks former Vice President of the United States James McCreary former United States Senator from Kentucky and president of the league William Gaynor mayor of Greater New York and Henry Clews the New York banker Count von Bernstorff like the President did not loolrwith favor upon disarmament and although indorsing the general idea of arbitration he could not agree with Mr Taft on the question of submitting matters of national honor to such a tribunal He said in part Men who like myself have the duty of protecting and advancing the interests of their own country are not able to join in dreaming the droam of universal peace from which we would soon awake to the stern reality of the fierce struggle for existence that according to the law of nature results in the survival of the fittest Tills league Is however not striving for the impossible Its object IsT to create a publfc sentiment for organization or International Justice New Yorkjjdar 22 a

of the committee were present Otto Bahtiard the defeated candidate for mayor of New York on the Republican ticket was toastmaster President Taft did pot appear until the banquet was well under way Mr Parsons In his speech said A crisis exists because the electorate ofthe party believe there has not been honesty and common decency on the part of men In important positions who call themselves Republicans Whatever Judgments senators may feel In conscience I bound to give in the trial now proceeding at 5 Albany the public Is convinced that there has been crookedness In high places Glad of the Chance Many men deplore such a revelation I do not For years those of us active In politics have hearcf of these things The thought of them has nauseated us The proof was lackln as isso often the

President arrived He spoke in lighter vein and said In part This is jjerbert Parsons show ana I am here to speak about him Herbert Parsons and I have been friends for a number of years I took him to the Orient and I brought him back because I knew he wad too valuable to leave out there Praises Parsons Work He went conscientiously into the matter of politics Jle wanted to help out decent politics and he did It and he undertook something that didnt gratify his ambition he undertook something that lh many respects was a thankless job and brought down dn him most unjust criticism but he Tendered a great service to the Republican party and to the people of the city of New York I have followed wlth a deal of interest the troubles that Herbert has had here He has managed them in a marvelous way and now that he has laid them down and another worthy member of society Is taking them up we ought to pay our debt of gratitude to him who has discharged his duty and give to him who Is coming on to assume the continuance of that task all of our sympathy and all of bur hope for ht3 success At Its next meeting on the evening ot April 5 tbe Washington Chamber ofCom merce will launch a movement to obtain for the Capital the great international exposition which is to celebrate the official opening ofthe Panama Canal in 1915 President William Gude last night said the plan would be the mostimportanl business to be discussed at the meeting It Is probable that A Llsner treasurarl of the chamber will be selected to formally present the matter tothe organizationorganization For some time members of the chaubber have discussed the project bu tit was not until yesterday that thematter cameto focus and President Gude and other leading members of the organization de cidedto bring the matter before the next meeting of the chamber Other cities are anxious for the big show which Is expected to be the greatest exposition ever seen In the two Americas as every commercial nation in the

undoubtedly Is the logical place ror the celebration We should have had the Chicago exposition here and this is our chance to Sit a greater exposition than the one held there I will be only too glad to have the matter officially presented to the meeting by one of the members of the chamber Permanent buildings could be erected which would be useful to the government afterward I am in favor of starting after the celebration without delay The matter will be brought Up at the meeting and steps taken to work out a plan Mr Lisner said the idea of holding the exposition and celebration here Is a splendid one We can easily work up great enthusiasm in the plan he asserted Of course I am heartily in favor of it Wlille the completion of the canal is five flee If held herei he said but we would be glad to do lf Thera may be several expositions to celebrate the completion i of the canal but the greatest should be here Many Inquiries Received John Bftrrett director of the Bureau of American Republics said The celebration of the completion of the Panama Canal will marifithe end or probably the greatest event ilte history of this country It will be a magnificent exposition participated in by all thetountries ot the western hemisphere Many cities are trying to get thectile Dration we nave naa a great mass or correspondence from other cities concern ing the matter which shows how Im
