EDITORIAL LECTION is over, folks. by a substantial margin. Coolidge has won All right, a ma- jority of the people wanted Coolidge as presi- dent and in this country ever, the fight that has the majority rules. How- been fought by the pro- gressives has not been made in vain. Just a few months ago there was no third party in this country. Yesterday that party rolled up 1,500,000 votes. A marvelous showing. We wonder if it won’t make Coolidge a better presi- dent during the next four years. Surely, he will not soon forget this protest of 1,500,000 votes against official corruption and against official stand-patism. If he has learned a lesson, and if others of the old guard have learned a lesson, the credit for such reform is entirely due to the progressives. The new party which paign, made that impre’ will go on. It will be , With only a short cam- ssive showing yesterday, in the field four years hence and, win or lose, it will be a potent factor in making this a cleaner, more honest, more prosperous country.
