5 / ’ ". 'DEMOCRATS BLAME - DEFEAT ON ERRORS Will Not Admit Coolidge Vic- tory Was Due to Con- servatism. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Hope springs eternal in the Demo- cratic breast, and nothing appears more | significant than the recurrent talk of | William G. McAdoo for 1928. Inst of | accepting the defeat of Tueeday as a ict for conservatism, the Demo- crats are regarding it as the result of | their own bad tactic This has more than tance as a post-mortem. it shows what | the Democrats are likely to try to do next. For the more they examine the election returns the more they are con- | vinced that La Follette was the cause | of their defeat. Just as Roosevelt in 1912 proved the nemesis of the Repub- lican party, so La Follette, without per- haps intending it, assisted materially in | Pplacing a conservative in_power. Immediately after 1912 the Repub- licans, especially those who support- ed Roosevelt, saw the unwisdom of | keeping the party divided and they reunited in 191 Even Col. Roose- Yelt was so anxious to defeat the| Demoeratic administration in 1916 that, despite ‘the appeals of a staunch | Pattalion of Bull Moosers, he refuse to be a third party candidate again Watch La Follette Course. Will Robert M. La Follette and his followers still stick to their plan of forming this Winter a third party ©rganization? The railroad brother- hoods and the American Federation ©f labor and the other groups which lent their support to La Fol- Jette now see that a continuance of their struggle against conservative #octrine will be futile unless they &bsorb the whole Democratic party ©r permit themselves to be absorbed By it Thére is always a momentum to the @stablished parties. In both Ohio and New York, where there were no out- standing third party candidates for governor, the Democratic candidates— Gov. Donahey and Gov. Smith—won out by comfortable majorities, not- withstanding the tremendous plurali- ties given Coolidge. In New York the Vote given Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for governor, would hav EOne to Al Smith, as in previous elec tlons, ard the only lesson of the New York State contest is that Smith, if beaten, would have been able to at- tribute his defeat to some extent to the loss of the few votes that might othérwise have gone to him. McAdoo Would Be 64, Labor stands at the close of this eampaign defeated in its first serious attempt to back a presidential candi- date. Friction inside labor’'s ranks | throughout the campaign, when so many of the leaders insisted on going | 10 Davis, indicates that some of the | chiefta recognized that the La Fol- | Jette campaign was merely dividing their own ranks. The talk of McAdoo for 1923 may never mean his nomination. He will | be 64 years old then, and as a rule | candidates for President do not win! the nomination at that age, though | La Follette's advanced age was not often talked about in the campaign. The mention of McAdoo does mean that the Democrats are already dis ng the nec. v Jeader who will win for them the sup- port of the voters who cast their bal- Jots for La FKollette, together with | those who may at the end of four Yyears want a change from Republican Tule. To the average man the mention of | 1928 may seem premature and aca- demic.

La Follette Weak in Eaxt. While the Coolidge electoral votes came from the West as well as the East, and even included some of the intrenched, the addition of the La Follette and Davis popular votes in the States West of the Mississipp! River shows that the margin for Coolidge would have been closer had these two parties combined than was the case in the East. The Dem- ocratic opportunity doesn’t seem to lie in the Kast. Nor would it ap- pear that the labor votes in indus- al centers of the East are of sufticient influence to win over the rural districts. La Folletism made little impression on the farms of | the Eastern States. Turning to the West, it is appar- ent that not only did the Democrats in large numbers go over to the La Follette standard, but that many Re- publicans went to the third party ticket. The big independent group of voters as a rule decides elections in the West. There is nothing to show that La Follette got a bigger slice of that group than President Coolidge. Al the Democrats can note from the results is that had they combined with La Follette or had there been nominated a Demo- led to the La Follette faction the race would ! have been closer in the West and the South would have gone along as usual. Under the circumstances the R publicans having gathered virtually all the conservatives, the next move in American politics will be an effort to make the Democratic party a lib- eral, if not ultra-radical opposition to the Republicans. And if they win converts in Congress these will come from Western Republicans who think such a course conforms to the will of the West. (Copyright, 1924.) .

By the Asmciated Press. DES MOINES, lowa, November 7.— The United States Senate may decide whether Senator Smith W. Brookhart, junior lowa senator, or his Demo- cratic opponent, Daniel F. Steck, will occupy the seat held for two years by Senator Brookhart This was indicated*today by prepa- rations being made by Democratic leaders and the Secretary of State to preserve for a possible contest in the Senate all ballots counted and many that were discarded by the election Judges. Mr. Steck had not definitely an- nounced at noon that he would chal- lenge Senator Brookhart's majority, which, unofficially, stands at 1.116, but Clyde L. Herring, Democratic chairman, had advised the State ex- ecutive council that a recount would be requested and that all precautions necessary to an accurate review of the election by the Senate should be taken. Brookhart Is Confident. Senator Brookhart said he did not anticipate a reversal of the unoiMicial result either by the official canvass, which begins Monday, or by a pos- sible re-count in the Senate. “My information from nearly all parts of the State,” the Senator said, “is that my majority will increase when the canvass is made. I think it will be a good deal bigger than the unofficial returns indicate.” The latitude of the Senate in re- count matters and the possibility that that -body might not be bound to follow the letter, of the lowa election laws afforded ground for much specu- lation among lowa politicians. Some held the opinion that numerous bal- lots thrown out because of identifi- cation marks might be accepted by the Senate on the grounds that the intent of the voter was clear, despite failure strictly to comply with the State law. The ballots in question were straight Republican votes, except for a “scratch” for the Democratic can- SILK NECKWEAR, in boxes Exceptional Suits That Offer Double-W ear Economy Two- Trousers SUITS Specially Priced ‘34 didate for the Senate. To set out this “scratch,” hundreds of voters drew an arrow on the ballot pointing. to the “X" opposite Steck's name. Court Rules on Issue. The Towa Supreme Court has ruled that any mark on a ballot placed out- side the prescribed circle or square, except by apparent accident, invali- dated the ballot. Attorney General Gibson said today he was not sune that the Senate could | accept these ballots, which have been ruled out in the State count. They are to be preserved and sent to ‘Washington along with the accepted ballots, if a recount is demanded. The exact number of these ballots is not known here. Estimates have placed the number from several hun- dred to more than a thousand. The bellef that there was a large number was -basedeon -the fact that Repub- lican newspapers all over the State published sample ballots carrving ar- rows pointing to Steck’s name and that voters generally might have gained the impression that the arrow insert was permissible. There also vere reports that nu- merous straight Republican ballots had been discarded. NORTHWEST GETS SNOW. First General Fall of Season Re-| ported—Melts Quickly. | ST.
