The article presents on-the-spot analyses of the election results in the state of Illinois. The reelection of Senator Paul H. Douglas in Illinois is in one sense a victory for democratic liberalism over the pro-McCarthy conservatism represented by his Republican opponent, Joseph T. Meek. In this off-year election, characterized by close Congressional contests except in the South, the decisive Douglas margin' commands attention. Twenty-four hours after the polls closed in Illinois, Douglas's majority was about 245,000 votes out of 3,340,000-cast from all but 57 of the state's 9,775 precincts.
