adds, may have been David, q king OF
Ud-nun, the ancient name of the
Babylonian city Of Bismya, where the
statue was discovered.
OF white marble. the statue was
found in fragments several feet apart
and secretly conveyed at night to the
house of the explorers because of the
superstition of the native diggers,
says the Herald. It's antiquity ex-
ceeds, the director says, that Of any
other known king Of Babylonia. and
when the expedition returns to the
United States the marble statue will
be its chief treasure.
Not" only in the form Of the CHS
eled face does the resemblance to the
junior senator from New York find
expression. The curved lines Of risi-
bility that marked the living king as
a fit companion in laughter to Mr..
Depew at once attracted the attention
of the explorers and were the subject
of special mention. :
From beneath the thick coating Of
dirt" the explorers account says. "the
marble face seemed to light up with q
wonderful smile of qualification, for
the long sleep of thousands of years
was at an end, and the long lost head
restored; or, perhaps, the smile was
the reflection of our own feelings"

initiate and push through as governor.
"As for any further plans which
may desire to initiate" he said, in an
interview, 1T would be unwise and un-
becoming in me to advance them until
after Inauguration as governor.
1T Is my purpose as governor -
said Mr.. Douglas, Ito serve the people
as a whole; to do what l may to ad-
vance Massachusetts, interests in an
industrial manner, and through these
and other channels am confident that
the people of the state will benefit to
4 large and appreciable extent.
II feel that in the choice of me as
governor by the people, Of Massachu-
sets there is lesson. It is protest
against the failure of the national
government in the past to heed the
call of Massachusetts industries for
reciprocal relations with Canada and
other tariff corrections that are es-
sential to our future success.
H. II felt throughout the campaign
that the issues tried to present to
the people of Massachusetts were mat
tiers of concern to every one with the
Industrial interests of the state at
heart. What have said in the past
I shall carry out AZ governor Of Mas
sachusetts."
"Any comment at this time as to
Mr.. Douglas views Of new democ-
racy would be unbecoming." said Mr..
Buchanan, private secretary to the
governor-elect. Regarding the causes
that led to his election, there are sew
eral things that tended to this result.
The workingmen Of the state support
ed Mr.. Douglas very strongly, large
business interestS supported his stand
for reciprocity with Canada. His
election demonstrates that they agreed
with him that something ought to be
( done toward relief from the Dingley
tariff and its effect on Massachusetts,

Received the Largest Plurality Ever

Boston, Mass.-William l.. Douglas.

elected governor OF Massachusetts,. re-
ceived the largest plurality. 1924.
ever given a"democratic gubernatortal
candidate in this state.
Although he will not say SO public
". no one in the state was more sur
prised than Mr.. Douglas when the re-
suit of the vote became known. He
was informed several days before the
election by the members of the demo-
cratic state committee that he would
defeat Gov. Bates, by 10000 votes.
Had Mr.. Douglas cut MIR. Bates plur-
ality over Col: Castor last year by
10000 he would have been satisfied
that his campaign had been success.
The election of Mr.. Douglas is con-
ceded to be the most amazing thing In
the history of Massachusetts politics.
The pluralities OF the last democratic
governor appear puny beside the vote
Of the recent election. In 1880. when
Russell, the democratic candidate, de-
feated Bracket for governor, his plur-
atty was $685.. In 1891 Russell de-
feated Allen by plurality of 6.467.
In 1892 the plurality for Russell grew
still less, being only 1854.
Should Mr.. Douglas die In ONCE
Massachusetts, would temporarily have
q republican governor, as Lieut.. Gov.
Curtis Guild has been reelected by
about $1,000 plurality over John G..
Crosby. the democratic candidate.
Governor-elect Douglas will present
. Elan for a commission to inquire
into the industrial needs Of Massa-
chusetts upon his assumption Of office
next year. This is in line with his
purpose as outlined during the recent
campaign to obtain, If possible, q re-
vision of tariff laws and the estab-
nshment of reciprocity with Canadian
interests. Such commission will, in
the opinion of Mr.. Douglas, have
great influence toward these reforms.
Then through submission Of the
results to the people Of the state for
referendum vote much will be gained,
Mr.. Douglas believes, for Nassachu-
sets industrial and commercial in
terests. This is the one definite re-

HARM" indulgently remarks the Brook
Ign Citizen; and the New York Evening
Mail finds it "hard, at this juneture OF af-
fairs, to imagine disagreement be-
tween these two countries which should
really menace the vital interests, the In
dependence, or the honor Of either"
The New York Globe, however, thinks
that "such treaties do much toward
keeping down the pinpricking differ
ences which, unimportant In them
selves, do so much to inflame national
ill-will and are thus contributory TO
war;" and so Secretary Hay Is doing q
great work not only for this generation
but for all following ones-not only for
this country, but for the world" "The
officials here" says dispatch from
Paris, "have made sufficient inquiry in
regard to the sentiment Of the French
parliament to show that the treaty will
be ratified promptly and perhaps unan-
imously."
An arbitration treaty with Great Brit
ain would be regarded by our newspa-
pers as more important. to Judge from
their handling of the subject, and the
idea is expressed that the state depart
