In Um floitl of politics tin? most lm ortant event of 1912 wsi ?the rec pow?Br ??f the Democratic party. For the second timo alnee tSW the rotera put thai party In complete control <?f the federal government The recall wns not, however, the work Of I ma? jority of the electorate rbe D?mo? cratie victory of 1912 "Mu? m>r even as decisive us the victory of 1892, when the I?emoeratic popular vote was &554.? 4H, agslast g total of 8,217,411 for tbe Hepub?cHii sud Populist tickets In 1912 Mr. Wilson'* popttlar vote wag 1130f?<063, sgalnal I total of 7,?908,0?3 for ihe RepobUcan snd Progressive candidates. The second attempt since the war of the Heinocrntic parry to govern the country will represent eve;.' more dis? tinctly than did the first an accidental l ictory for the minority over a divided opposition, 'n 1892 the Populist party ii the Western states played openly into I?etnocratic hands by forming 00 alitions on electors This year the Pro gresslve pariy. though nol combining with the Democratic, gave similar aid nnd comfort by drawing awaj Repub? lican Btrengtb The sweeping defeal of the Repub? lican party would have vast historical glgnlflcsnce if it could be taken to presage the permanent effacement of i :' tbe most famous and successful of Americsn political organisations it taken, however, because the Pi '-" ssive we esston of last year ? s,, much bj radical diff? : the rank and ' Republicans as by antagonisms between leaden and the play of the personal ambitions and popularitj of i single man. Except ?m the Presidency, whlcb ' ad Involved In a tangle "f per ? Isnues, tbe Republican party re nslned fairly united. RepublicanGov ?rnori were elected In Maine, New lampshlre, Rhode Island, Delaware, \'o-t Virginia, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ten oasee, North Dakota and Idaho? ates wblcfa WUson carried and In loutb Dakota and Minnesota -states % hi? h Roosevelt carried. Republican t?te tickets below Governor a*ere boeen In Oregon, Kansas and Massa hnsi'iis, c.-irri?'?! by Wilson, and In Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wash ngton, carried by Roosevell For ocal candidates the Republican vote of 1912 ran probably l,00(l,?000 ahead of the Presidential rote and put tbe party -.?.'"in!, not third, !n rank in the US tlon. That it will be far stronger two years hence is forcibly suggested by Ameriean exp?rience with partira ??anised on the basis of personality and Impulse. Two new sfates were added to th? f'nlon la 1912- New Mexico and Ari? zona. The fonder was admitted in lannnry f> ami the latter on February 14, Arizona's entrance leaving do area under the territorial form of govern ment In what is now classified as COU Mnentnl United State?.

The purpose ??f the majority in the House of Repre sentatlves to play polities with the tar? iff was ggatn demonstrate.! The House refused to make an honest effort to re? daos duties along the Una of the recom? mendations of the Tariff Board and thus obtain the President's co-opera? tion In modernixine; the tariff. It passed hills of its own. propaivd in the dark and Intended either to fall In the Senate or to be vetoed. The President disapproved two tariff hills?the wool schedule and the metal schedule r?vi? sions?and thiee others were left pig? condoled in conference committee. Mr. Taft was also obliged To veto the finny appropriation Mil once and the legii latir?, executive and judicial appropri? ation hill twice before objectionable legislation was stricken out. The Sen ale added to the failures of the session ginendlng the general arbitration Itlea with (ireat Britain nnd France hi such a manner ns to doter the Pres ?d"iit from resobmlttlng them for the MOCtlon of the l'.ritlsh and Fit n-h gov? ernments Congress accomplished a few thin}:? of Importance Incidentally. An amend ns nt to the ?Constitution providing for tin- dhrect election <>f united stales Senators was submitted t?? the states An enlargement of the parcel post ser? vi e. gffective on Januar] I, 1913, was aatboiiaed ; the government of the l'an iiina canal Eons eras reorganised and t rallie through the '-ana! was Ngralated, the exemption of American coastwise Hhlpplnc from tods drawing forth a protest from Great Britain; an army reserve was created and several ?if the army staff corps were consolidated : 'he Federal eight-hour law was exto <!,-i. rad acting under the spur of the Ti? tanic disaster. Congress pnaSSd laws regulating radio <<>ininu!dc.'ti?m and the radio ?sniilpment on steamers . nd insuring greater safety at sea. Tin? .M a a? c I trial found that the ??i nf \\ llliaui LoiInter ^;?s l'1 rall i bet ause tainted with corruption. The Supreme Court banded down a number of decisions of general Impor? tance, in one dealing with the Invent monopolj In selling contracta if be 'i tt al the I it ei lor might dio tata the terms under which bis Invi a tlon is sold.

A deckled "boom" would probably have developed bul for outside retarding Influences and un? easiness caused by the purpose ?if the now- Democratic administration to re? the tariff after political rather than scientific metbi ds. The largest American war fleet ever assembled was reviewed in New Vork Harbor by President Taft on Octo 18. a concerted movement In this city to -?? and cheek- the corrupt activi? ties of the police made rapid head? way. An aldermanlc Investigation, fol? lowing the Rosenthal murder, put the Mayor and the Police Department on the defensive and aroused public sen? timent anew to the necessity of br?
