...results of last week's off-year elections gave both parties something to cheer about. Republicans accelerated their conquest of the nation's governorships, particularly in the South, with victories by Representative Ernie Fletcher in Kentucky and Haley Barbour in Mississippi. The Democrats gained control of the New Jersey legislature and saw John Street win re-election as mayor of Philadelphia.
