COOLIDGE ASSURED MARLAND VICTORY Weller Says Campaign Has Narrowed to Conservatism vs. Radicalism. ident Coolidge was given posi- urance by Senator Weller of len Talt, Republican tate chairman of Maryland, that he will carry that State Tuesday In re- celving this news the President was ziven to understand that this will be accomplished in spite of the large gistered Democratic majority in the State and of the fact that the lead- ing papers of Baltimore are support- ing either John W. Davis or Senator La Follette. Senator Weller told the President that the campalgn in Maryland has narrowed down to one of conserva- tism against radicalism, and that in- E s land is known to be & conservative State it will give Cool- idge and Dawes its electoral vote. He said the people of the State, those who are giving some thought to the serious side of the election, do not want to see the election of a Presi- dent thrown into the House of Rep- resentativ and to avoid this and the chaos they know would follow, they will vote for President Coolidge.

They were Lady Astor, Conservative; the Duchess of Atholl, Conservative, and Mrs. Hilton Philipson, Conservative, who were joined by a new woman member, Miss Wilkinson, Laborite.

Liberal. The severest blow for the Liberals was the defeat of Mr. Asquith, whose loss to the Laborite, Mitchell, in Paisley, broke the record of 92 years in_that constituency. The Liberal leader took his defeat smilingly, but afterward admitted profound disappointment, und said he regretted severance of his connec- tions with Paisley, “for the time be- ing at any rate Aside from all party consideration KEYSTONF Upper, to fall; Patrick Hastings, attorney left to right: Herbert Asquith, election to Parliament: J.

All of the Labor party's success in office, or Ramsay MacDonald's per- sonal popularity, could not stem the tide of this emotional reaction. Liberalism was caught between two fires and received its death wound. The clearing smoke of battle dis- closed a fleld strewn with Liberal warriors and in their midst the herolc figure of Herbert H. Asquith. For the first time Mr. Asquith's con- stituency of Paisley deserted the Liberal cause and returned a So- clalist In the place of the country's greatest parliamentarian. Real grief at Mr. Asquith's defeat was expressed by those members of both the older parties who realize the need of a mature judgment such as his in the House of Commons. He may run for Parliament again, but his long and illustrious career is nearly ended, leaving David Lloyd George the leader of u woefully small remnant of the once dominant party, Blamed on MacDonald. The Conservative victory at the polls started when Prime Minister MacDonald chose to go to the coun- try on the issue of the Russian trea- ties and the now famous Campbell case involving charges of Communis- tic Influence within the ranks of the Labor party. He could not have se- lected a worse basis for his appeal to the people. but it must be remem- bered that Labor had a twofold object. object. First, it was desired to capitalize the government's success in its for- etgn policy, especjally in the settle- ment of the reparations problem, and second, but equally important, labor desired to rid itself of Liberal control, and, if possible, to wipe the Liberal party out of existence Failing in the first object, they | achieved more than they expected in the last, for liberalism no longer ex- | ists as a major influence in the politi- cal life of this country. Labor stands today as the undisputed opposition, and perhaps its upholders may find a greater satisfaction in the result so far recorded than they could pos- sibly have taken If the Conservatives had just failed to secure an out- right victory, leaving Parliament in a worse predicament than before. Duties May Be Changed. TOBER 30, 1924. view the Conservative reaction in Great Britain raises interesting spec: ulations. One of the first things the Conservative government may be ex- pected to do Is fo re-establish the McKenna duties which were removed by the Laborites. This will bring the price of American motor cars back to alevel with British cars. It will also put a damper on large trade in products coming from the continent, such as watches and textiles. The German trade will come in for im- mediate restrictions. It is with Russia that the Conserva- tive ministry will deal in a manner most abhorrent to the Soviet author- ities. Some plain words will be spoken very shortly to the Soviet representative in London, who will receive the treaties now up for rati- fication with the request that he take them out of England and burn them. The relations between Lon- don_and Moscow fostered by Mr. MacDonald undoubtedly will become , Great Britain's relations with France may not be as good as in the past few months, in view of Premier Herriot's recognition of Russia and his decided leaning to- ward the Left. Within a short time the delicate question of a new division of the reparation payments must be tackled. Whereas Mr. MacDonald put the larger issues, fuch as world peace, first, it is likely that the Conserva- tive party will take a more restrict- ed view and will make some pointed inquiries regarding the outstanding war debts. Business men today showed plainly their delight at the Conservative gains and expressed their belief that trade will show an immediate im- provement. (Copyright, 1924, by Chicago Daily News Co.)

The conspirators are alleged to have planned seizing the battleship Minas Geraes, firing a shell against the presidential palace and then captur- ing President Bernardes in the con. fusion.
