...more important contests. This year, however, the Congressional elections have a general interest on account of their bearing on the next Presidential election and the general political situation in the country. The elections in Massachusetts have as well a special interest through the national prominence of the Republican candidate for the Senate...
...issue and no candidate could have saved democracy from defeat. The people were impatient. They were ready to turn over in bed and nothing could deter them. Such a sweeping victory is inevitably followed by a reaction, and so this year there will undoubtedly be a reaction from the Republican's overwhelming victory of two years ago.

The change in the form of government would probably have less effect on the people than a sudden change from a weak to a strong cabinet. If the Fascisti set up a new central power based on democratic traditions it will be a move not so much to overthrow the present government, as an attempt from a new angle to build up a strong, stable, unified Italy...
