The telegram follows:
Hon Calvin Coolidge,
Boston. Mass.

White House attaches said this
probably was the first time in his

ulated a candidate of the opposite
office.
Administration officers shared
the Presidents view. They said
Gov. Coolidge's sweeping victory
should go far to encourage officials
generally over the country who
are combating radical propaganda,
disorder and general social unrest.

lions on the result of the state

of national moral significance. Par
ticularly is this opinion expressed as
to Massachusetts,.
Unofficially, in high administration

over the result of the Massachusetts,
election, Notwithstanding the fact that
it carried victory to the republican
state ticket. The broader ground was
taken that the election indicated the
unfolding of law and order. which. 1t
was said, is exactly the policy of the
national administration at this crltl-
cal time in all affairs connected with
pending and threatened industrial
trouble and social unrest.
Massachusetts, Important.
The opinion voiced uhofficially in
these high administration quarters
was that the Massachusetts, election
rose far above mere state politics and
party politics and assumed the pro-
portions Of decision on what may be
properly considered at this time ma
tional situation.
The belief was held that the Mas
sachusetts result will serve as a
warning to those fostering bolshevism
and soVietism and as an encourage
ment to all state. county and munich
paf authorities in the firm enforce
ment of law and suppression by rig
orous methods of outbursts of soviet
and bolshevist sentiment in the

In Massachusetts the issue approached

tated by the strike of the Boston po-
licemen, with the attendant upboiling
Of underworld elements OF disorder.

Extended protraction of the strike of

from the position of the government

not recede from the position because
the strike was unlawful.
eff Assistant Attorney General Ames
bespeaks the continued position of
the government. the strike will be OF
long duration" Harrington said. Such
means may discourage and defeat the
mine workers in certain isolated spots,
but so far as it's effect on the general
situation Is concerned. the means is
bound to fail OF results and will only
make the mine workers In strongly
organized fields more determined to
carry on the strike.
"The mine workers have no desire
to assume a defiant attitude toward
the government. They are loyal
Americans The very fact that they
areloya1 Americans is the thing that
will make them resist to the last any
attempt at wrongful compulsion
whether that compulsion may be en-
