Vote for Governor

] BOH lpN' NOV. b.-HunnlnE on n
platform OF Amcricanism as opposed
TO radicalism. Gov. Calvin Coolidge on
complete unoficial yeturns early to-
day has a majority OF 124173 over
his Democratic opponent. Richard II.
Long. The tabulatsd vote Is; Cool
idge, 3i7S47; Long, 103,674.
In Boston where because OF Gov.
Coolldge's opposition to the police
strike tho Central Federated Union
declared for his opponent. Long. the
Democratic candidates plurality Is
given ne 5,14o. with a fcw scattering
returns misslng--the figures being
about a quarter OF his figure for tho
preceding election.
The vote givon Gov. Coolidge was
the largest ever cast for Governo in
this State. although his plurality has
been exceeded.
Long also opposed Coolidge last
year and was defeated by a plurality
OF 1905, Yesterday the Coolidge vote
was moro than 100000 ahead OF that
Of 1918 and tho long vote 1000 behind.
In his campaign Long appealed par
tlcularly 10 the labor vote. on the
ground that Gov. Coolidge had
shown hostility to organized labor in
dcnouncing the striking Boston po-
licemcn NJ dcserters. That the ap-
peal was unsuccessful was shown by
the result Of the balloting in the
cities OF the State.
outside OF Boston Long carried only
four cities out OF thirty-seven and In
all but one OF these his plurality was
much smaller than a year ago. Nine
cities which returned pluralities for
Long in 1918 swung over TO Coolidge
yesterday.
One of the greatest overturns was
in Lowell. which turned a plurality
for Long Of 1898 last year into one
for Coolidge OF 1870 this year. The
entire Republican State ticket was
elected by large margins.
Three words tell the result. Mas
snchusctts Is American" declared
Gov. Coolidge in statement to-day.
Ho added:
The attempt TO appeal TO olass
prejudice hat failed. The men OF
Massachusetts are not labor men.
or policemen or union men. or
poor men. or RICH men, or any
other class men hrst: they ara
Americans first.
The wage-earners have vindi-
Gated themselves. They have
shown by their votes that they
resent trying to use them Tor prl-
vate interests, or that they can be
employed to resist the operation
OF tho Government. They are
for the Government. They are
against those who are against the
Government. American institu-
tons are SAFE In their hands.
Some OF those who have posed
as their leaders and argued that
the wage -ear1ers were patriotic

be. may well inquire whether tho
