The landslide. to Coolidge and Dawes was appar ent from the receipt of the first returns in the late afternoon. Ae 7 The wave of victory has its origin in New England, which group gave large majorities for Coolidge and Dawes. From here-it swept west- ward engulfing the map as it rolled on. What- eyer else o¢curred within the states during the progress of the western sweep nothing retard- movement of the great Repub- state after state reported their electoral vo' igainst the Democratic La Fol- lette conspiracy to throw the election into con- gress and prevent the people from electing their president and vice president. Coolidge and Dawes will have at least three ed the onw lican victor, hundred and fifty votes in the electoral college. After all the bluster kicked up by La Fol- lette he must be contented with Wisconsin and Davis must be satisfied with the solid south secured to him through disfranchisment of the great preponderance of legal and qualified vot . ers. Freakish occurrences were plentiful, and un- looked for restilts in the details of the voting were uumerous. The news columns carry the partiew Ss. In the congressional ballotting the Repub- licans have made substaifitial gains through- out the union, emphasizing that the people are done with blocs, balances of power, minority control and leg e blockades; and that the country has given the president a substantial majority in congress composed of loyal mem- bers of his own party with which to proceed with his program of economy reduction of taxes and increased prosperity. Wyoming rendered a fairly good account of herself. ‘The electoral vote of the state is given to Coolidge and Dawes, by a large major- blame and responsibility of a.few for whose a} rsonally pointment and activity he ‘was not pe concerned prior to his entrance into the White House. Ridicule, abuse and satire have been employed, sharp weapons of contempt and car- toon haye been brought into action in an effort to’draw from the president some reply or per- sonal retort. sidered seriously nor noticed the personalities of the campaign. Yet he has not been silent to issues nor enigimatical. He has confined him- self to principles and policies in a dignified and forcible manner. In short, President Coolidge has played a shrewd and winning campaign. While his two competitors in the: race have journeyed up and down the country, expended large amounts of energy and considerable money, the president has doggedly and consistently stuck to his job. serving the people and the country.. He has stood like a rock, on the fundamental and con- servative principles of the party that entrusted him with a great responsibility. Neither Demo- crats nor Independents haye dislodged him or found him off his guard. He has played the shrewdest game ever played in a presidential campaign. It was conceded that Mr. Davis is an able and experienced man—strong personally, but weak politically. He and his party made a mistake in hitching a Bryan to the tail of their kite. The name Bryan is a red flag to many Democrats who recall that a Bryan dominated their party in three presidential elections and led it to de- feat each time, primarily because he stood for false and destructive economic principles. It was ludicrous to put-a Davis-Bryan team in the harness .and expect them to pull together. Robert M. La Follette has been the, stormy petrel of politics for many years. He has been a comet, brilliant at times, but erratic, uncer- tain and dangerous to the general harmony of things. ‘Like W. J. Bryan, in his several presi- dential campaigns, La Follette has appealed to all the discontent, delusion and deyviltry that always e sin human government. Obsessed with the idea that everything is wrong in our social and political machinery he gathered to ihmself a small army whose purpose ig to over- throw established principles and disregard hu- man experience. The historic battle that has just closed has been a ruggle, not between three candidates for president and three candidates for vice president, but between two opposing, social and political principles or tendencies. It has been the old struggle between those who believe in guiding our footsteps by the lamp of experience or building on what is; and those who believ that the principles and precepts of our fathers are “old stuff,” are not applicable to present day conditions. , It is a misnomer to call all conservatives “standpatters.” Like wise it is a inisnomer to call all progressives “radicals.” ‘Phere is a pro- gressive conservatism and a progres: i is not radical. The real battle was _ bet progressive conservatives and radicals. The former do not believe in burning the whol? house to repair a leak. The latter believe in destroying the whole stcucture and startmg something new. The result of the battle has demonstrated that the majority of the veters are progres: ively conservative. In this group are Repnb- lieans and Democrats, 89 per cent Ropui leans and 20 per cent Democrats. <A progressi ON- servative in the White House will prevent. the destruction of the political and social ‘structure. The greatest blunder La Vollette has made in his campaign is:his attack on the Supreme court, and his proposal to override a decision of ity. Senator Warren is returned to the senate and Representative Winter to the house. A Republican legislature has been chosen and the constitutional amendments decisively defeated, The only rift in the lute is the apparent defeat of Bugene Sullivan, Republican candidate for governor, who at this hour on the face of in- complete returns is some four thousand yotes behind Mrs. Ross. This lead may be somewhat reduced but not enough to turn the final result inte victory. The voting in both state and nation is the heayiest ever recorded, the direct result of the effort of many inte s throughout the coun- try to induce qualified yoters to exercise their right of ranchise. The Quiet Voter. Among other persons due for a yote of thanks in the national results that have been achieved, is the silent voter. He is the person that is largely responsible. He took his cue from the president, and proceeded without excitement and outcry. He knew his stuff and performed it, He remained unmoved in the midst of the La Fol- lette bombardment and the Davis ludicrous at- tempt at radicalism. He knew what was safe and he went direct for it. As has so often been said, make the proposi- tion simple and plain, and you can trust the American people to the limit to do the right and proper thing. It is only when a complicated and involved proposal is presented that the people become confused and go astray. The proposal in the campaign just ended was made extremely understandable, it was the de- struction of the constitution for one thing. The other two items were economy in government and reduction of taxes. Mr. Coolidge, himself was the principal and remaining proposition, In brief he was the whole thing. It was the confidence the people had in his sterling honesty and good purpose. His perfect understanding and appreciation of the needs of the , people. His ability to secure them, and his persistency in the pathway of the right, all, attached the people to him with a loyalty that could not be shaken by all the political efforts the opposi- tion was ale to put forward. The silent vote and the good sense of the American people came to the rescue and saved the country from being dashed upon the rocks of soc sm and radical experimentation. All honor to the American people who see their duty and perform it silently and complete- ly. The Campaign and the Future Whatever may befall other of the three pro- posals Republicans fought for in the campaign dns ba nced—President Coolidge, conservative prinwples and polit realignment, we have President Coolidge. As to the fight for presi dent the biggest asset of the Republican party has been, and is. Calvin Coolidge. Burdened with a heritage of debt and disaster from the previous Democratic administration, and with the misdeeds of a few within the official family of his predecessor, President Coolidge bravely and calmly faced the situation. , Every possible effort has been made by his two competitors in the race, to break down the president’s bulwarks, Superhuman attempts = have been inade to attach to him some of the the court by congressional action. This brought to the support of President Coolidge many thoughtful and patriotic Democrats. Next to the ‘preservation of the constitution the biggest issue has been the protective tariff. Candidate Davis lins made a mistake in asswn- ing that his party is solidly against protection. In some of the states of the solid south, one- half of, the Democrats are protecticnists. In some Of@the northern states one-quarter of the Democrats are protectionists. Protection is a purely American doctrine, and every assault upon its citadel by both Democrats: and Inde- pendents has failed. What of thé future? What is the political horoscope? The Republican party will emerge from the contest with its essential principles maintained and vindicated. It may lose some adherent, more or less weak-kneed, but it will gain more than it will lose and if the vote ac- corded President Coolidge is any criterion, the Republican party will emerge stronger than ever. i The Democratic party’ has well night disap- peared in some northern states. La Follette fas weakened the Democrats much more than the ‘Republicans. The closing days of the cam- paign and the tactics of the Democratic leaders demonstrated that their game was to unite in one final effort to defeat President Coolidge): by depriving him of 266 electoral, votes, the number required. 4 The plotters have been disappointed and in the meantime the future’of the Democratic party hangs in the balance. In the last analysis will the La Follette- Wheeler group secure sufficient popular votes to warrant the organization of a third party. This is doubtful. There is no room for a third party. This is a two-party country, and one.of two things is bound to happen either the La Follette group. will absorb the Democrats. or the Democrats will absorb the so-called Inde- pendent-Radicals. . The Republican party will in all probability emerge with an overwhelming popular. vote, surviving all the ill-repute brought upon it by a thless few. This will mean that the vitality of the Republican or Progressive-Conseryative party is paramount. But the Republican party must not look upon the battle just concluded as the end of the strug- gle. It is only the beginning. Unless there is a workable Republican majority in both houses of congress, the fight of the radicals will be renewed with greater energy than ever. The battle ground will be in congress, and there the effort to destroy protection, to kill conservative railroad laws and to destroy the yold standard, will be renewed. From the present outlook there are at least a dozen senatorial seats and 100 representatives’ seats in doubt. This furnishes sufficient uncer- tainty to cause the Republicans to stop and think. The Republican party is the bulwark of the Constitution and sound legislation. It is the buffer against’a social political flood that may come. The responsibility. of President Coolidge and his advisers will be tremendons. To meet this responsibility successfully President CooMdye is splendidly equipped. THe is a protectionist. a sound money advocate and a true American. The American people haye faith in- him.
