NAsHINToN, 10Th Feb. 1928.
take great pleasure in communicating
| To you the election of Mr.. ADAMS, as Pre-
Sidem gCht United States. lie WAS cho
sen yesterday ON the first ballot, having
| thirteen VOTES III his favor. I've fact ~ his
being elected ou the FIRST ballot, is high
| y honorable to him. and will doubtless be
more satisfactory IL TIE nation than a pro
tactcd contest. For had thele been FIRE
qurut ballotiHgs aud An obstinate adhe
renee on the part of the members 10 Their
respective faVe1ifes, the result might have
been attributed perhaps. TO bribery aud
corruption. To 90 such inpnlaton, is h-

! Clay, of having united with his friends IN
? Al. 4 s...I
/ has not shadow OF foundation For its sup
pott. IL the frank aud honorable character
of Mr.. T.. did not give the liz IL tbs caum
ny, its reiutaiion might be found in the
scnpulnns integrity Of Mr.. A. who IL
| knwn to have resisted with ffmBrss every
proposal for compromise. Without the
! mid Of county and fascinating manners,
without the Use of Any articles Ia attach
| t. HIM those who were disposed TO he his
, friends, 81 any concilatory means To APP
peasc his enemies, Mr. Adams has relied
| solely and extensively upon the virtue aud
| intelligence Of the people. HIS log pub
lie services, his natural talents and acqued
! information, his experience, hrs stern lnirg
! rlty, aud the virtues that illustrate hls prl
| vatc character, have sustained MIN 81 pub
! lie estimation against all the charges of his
enemies, and they lr,.c not been few. Hi,
election viii not be CRAFTY lng 10 his friends
from their high appreciation of his quail
