Also in the cities of the west among business men and bankers the fame of Dawes in the European settlement made him exactly the type af candidate the conservative Republicans wanted. On the Ku Klux Klan issue, the policy of silence maintained by the president has cost him many votes but in. most®of the states this was outweighed by votes gained because of his indifference to the issue. The opposing camps never succeeded in convincing the electorate that the ident was in smpathy with the Indeed, the publication of the etter of the president's secretary, C. Bascom Slemp, stating that Mr. Coolidge wag neither a member of the klan or in sympathy with its objects was q clever plece of strat- egy and did much to recover lost ground when nothing was said about it after John W. Davis’ first speech Garden convention began. Defeat was inevitable. because John W. Davis could not reconcile the two opposing wings of democracy. It looked last July as jf he might, But the Democrats themselves did not come to his rescue. The McAdoo movement was a concrete crystalli- zation of western sentiment, plus southern support. The south votes Democratic anyway, but the west could make little headway with a New York lawyer as a candidate, no matter how progressive were his words. He had never before been identified with western ideas of pro- gressivism or semi-radical doctrine. The very praise which issued from the metropolitan press of the east served to injure the Davis candidacy in the west. McAdoo might not have won eastern states, but he would have carried goodly number of western states and there wouldn't have been a LaFollette movement because the railroad brotherhoods, mainstay of LaFollette, financially and otherwise, would have supported McAdoo. G In the east, the failure of the Democrats to nominate Al Smith caused equal damage. The Demo- crats took it to heart and only the necessity of keeping the party to- gether to win state and congres- sional candidates made them work for Davis. Funds were difficult to collect because of the cleavage in the party. The eastern Democrats did not like the selection of Charles W. Bryan as vice president. The western Democrats thought well enough of Bryan but did not feel the necessary warmth for Davis. It was a true split of conservatives and rad- icals, which’ was not settled at Madi- son Square Garden and will not be settled by the November elections. Thousands of Democrats left the party to announce their support of Coolidge. Thousands of other Demo- crats went over to LaFollette, The Democratic party has been ground by the upper and nether millstone. Its future depends on which wing of the party gains control, for a coalition between the radical Demo- crats and the LaFollette supporters will attempt to remake the Demo- cratic party after the election re turns are thoroughly analyzed, The most effective piece of strat- egy of the whole campaign was the way the Republicans drove home the idea that the issue was Coolidge or LaFoliette and what they repre- sented. The fear of getting the elec- tion into the house of reprerenta- uves for decision, the old Bryan bug- bear and the argument that busi- ness wou.d be disturbed by a change of administration were worked so Casper Asked to Join In Golden Rule Dinner for jf Relief in the Near East| = Casper citizens are being invited by the Wyoming Golden Rule com- mittee to observe the second inter- national Golden Rule dinner on De- cember 7, in communion with the people of 20 different nations, in- cluding the United States.

Senator LaFollette, after an in- tensive drive, voted in Madison, Wis., his home town, and he, too, expressed his belief that his cause had won the favor of the voters.

Pat 6,000.00 he has before. The mistukes of the LaFollette management were many. Having ac- cepted at Cleveland the support of several radical groups, the Wiscon- son senator did not argue for radi: callsm in a concrete and aggressive sense. Either feeling the conserva- tive mood of the country, or yield- ing to his own impulses, Senator LaFollette took the defensive on the supreme court issue and public own- ership. Hig radical friends would have been better pleased and more enthused had he insisted that the issue was not a change in the su- preme court or the constitution, or whether a 4 to 3 decision should be allowed to override the wishes of congress. Should one man pass up on the constitutionality of laws made by two houses of congress? Had he pursued this tack, the radi- cals—and there have been murmurs heard throughout the length and breadth of the land—would have fared better.

He contended that the whole history of the Re- publican party showed that labor had profited most under its sway. He recailed that when the Harding administration entered office in 1921 there were five million jobless in the United States and that today there are jobs for ry man who wishes to work. The Republican tariff: policy, he held, is the best Possible guaranty of a high wage and a high standard of living.

There are 435 seats in the house, of which the Republicans’ now hold 220, counting the LaFollette group, and the Democrats 206, and in the yoting today in various parts of the country there are alignments, en- dorsements, 1 alliances which even the most sophisticated politicians hesitate to forecast the complexion of the next ‘house, although both Democratic and Republican man- agers have formally placed their claim of victory. The entry in to the situation of the railroad brotherhoods and the American Federation of Labor in support of Senator LaFollette, and thelr action at the same time in working for the election of various members of congress favorable to labor legislation is another factor which has been hard for the polftical’ Prophet to fathom. Both Repub- lican and Democratic managers have scouted the idea that labor would desert the old parties. ‘Today's re- sults will throw an interesting light on the trend of modern American political thought. ; One possibility, widely discussed in the campaign, has been that of a deadlock in the electoral vote. The individual voter does not vote direct- ly for a president, but for a group of electors to represent his -state. and cast the state's proportionate vote for president. The original theory of the constitution was that the electors thus chosen would fol- low their own inclinations in choos- ing a chief executive, In practice, however, it has become an unbroken tradition that an elector votes for the candidate of that party to which he belongs. Should an insufficient number of states to choose a president give their support to any one party, and should all of the electors follow tradition and vote for the candidate of their party, the work of the entire sroup of electors would go for noth: ing, There would be a deadlock, and undér the constitution the house of representatives would be called upon to. choose a president and the senate a vico president.
