Calvtn Coolidge, Laa0 and
Order Candidate, Elected
Massachusetts GOUernOr

drift of popular sentiment prepara-
| tory to the national elections next
year, Tuesdays results were being
. closely scrutinized by party leaders.
! Kentucky was swept into the Re-
publican fold in the governorship
light, but late returns made it
certain New Jersey had reverted to
! the Democratic column. Maryland,
the only other state in which there
was serious contest for the COVER
norship, was still in doubt, with the
Democratic candidate leading.
Local issues complicated the fight
in at least two states. In Massa-
chusetts the police strike issue in
Boston was said to underlay the
purely party division at the polls.
Richard H. Long, defeated Democratic
candidate, had appealed to the labor
vote, while Governor Coolidge stood
squarely on his record in dealing
with the Boston police strike, and
rolled up a plurality of almost 1885,
900 votes.
In New Jersey, Edward I. Ed
wards, Democrat, running on a "wet"
platform, had an apparently safe lead
of almost 10000 over Newton A. K.
Bugbee, Republican. but the legisla-
ture will be Republican by a narrow
margin.
The defeat of Governor ames D.
Black, Democrat, former lieutenant
! governor, for election in Kentucky,
where Edwin P. Morrow, his Repub-
| lican opponent, was credited with
plurality approaching 10000,
probably will be more discussed than
any other state result by party man
ayers who have their eyes fixed on
next years campaign. Previous
Democratic majorities were upset In
some parts of the state.
The senate fight over the League of
Nations entered into the Kentucky
contest to some extent Governor Black
paign The Republicans also will
control the lower house of the Ken
lucky Legislature, while the Demo-
Gratis will control the senate.
The wet and diy issue also en-
tered into the Kentucky contest, a
statewide prohibition amendment ap-
parently having been defeated de-
ciSively.
Lee M. Russell, Democrat, was
elected governor of Mississippi by the
usual majority. He was opposed by
Socialist, who polled only about
10000 votes. The Legislature will
be solidly Democratic.
In New York state the election
turned on judges of the supreme
court, Tammany Hall candidates suf-
fering complete defeat. In the city,
representative f. H. LaGuardia, Re-
publican, was leading Robert l..
Moran, the Tammany Democrat. for
president of the board of aldermen
but an official count may be neces-
sary.
In Philadelphia, Representative j.
Hampton Moore, Republican, scored
an easy victory for mayor. and in
San Francisco James RoIph, Jr was
swept into office as mayor for the
third time in a non-partisan fight. de-
feating former Mayor Eugene E.
Schmitz.
OF national interest in the New
York results was the election of
Theodore Roosevelt, son of the late
former president, to a seat in the
assembly from the Oyster Bay dis
trict. He scored a sweeping victory
over Elias Raft, his Democratic OPP
ponent, also, a veteran of the world
war.

MRS. ABBOTT IS
GIVEN ANEW TRIAL
BY APPEALSCOURT

Mrs. Stella Abbott, who killed her
husband. John H. Abbott, driver of
the automobile Of the Atlanta fire
chief, was on Wednesday granted a
new trial by the state court of ap-
peals on account of the letter pur-
porting to have been written to her
by a man in Jacksonville, Fla, and
accidentally placed in the hands of
the jury by representatives of the
solicitor generals office when they
turned over the states documentary
evidence at the close of the trial.
This letter, containing somewhat
affectionate Language which tended
to reflect upon the character of Mrs.
Abbott, had been submitted to Judge
HUMPHREYS. the trial judge, while
the jury was excluded from the court
room, and had been ruled out by
Judge HUMPHREYS on the ground that
it was an attack upon Mrs. Abbotts
character, and as such was inadmis-
sible in evidence because the defense
had not made an issue Of her char
acter. The law is that the state can
not introduce evidence touching the
character of a defendant unless the
defendant has put his or her char
acter in issue. 49,
At the close Of the trial Solicitor
Boykin bundled together his various
documentary evidence, and it was
turned over to the jury, as is custo-
mary. Inadvertently letter ruled
out by Judge HUMPHREYS was placed
in the bundle. This mistake was
subsequently discovered, and the
jurors were placed on the witness
stand by Judge HUMPHREYS to tes&-
fly whether they read the letter and
if so whether it influenced their YER
dict. Some of the jurors testified
that they read the letter; others tes-
titled that they did not. All of them
testified that the letter did not in
t1uence their verdict.
On this point of the court of ap-
peals says: mo man can tell with
certainty what influences his mind
what evidence or parts Of evidence
had least or most weight in leading
him to a conclusion"
Therefore. the court holds that it
was error for Judge HUMPHREYS to
overrule the motion by Mrs. Abbott's
attorneys for a new trial.
Mrs. Abbott shot and killed her
husband on the night of January
q. following telephone call to Alb
bott from a young woman, Miss Mary
Powers. The trial was concluded on
February "a when she was con-
victed of voluntary manslaughter
and sentenced to ten years on the
state farm at Milledgeville.
Mrs. Abbott entered the defense
that her husband was killed in a
struggle over pistol which fol-
lowed a qaurrell between the two
over the telephone call.
Judge HUMPHREYS denied q new
trial, and pending the appeal Mrs.
Abbott was released under a bond
OF $4,000. She is represented by
Attorneys Reuben Arnold and e. w.
Martin.

PROHIS MOVE TO
BLOCK LIFTING OF
WAR LIQUOR BAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Prohibi-
tionists in congress today moved
to prevent President Wilson from
raising the wartime liquor ban.
Believing that Mr.. Wilson intends
to end war prohibition as soon as
the peace treaty is ratified, the
aggressive dry element in the house,
led by Representative Randall, of
California, laid all it's plans to
checkmate him 1t was learned.
Without waitin for the president
to act. the drys will ask that the
wartime prohibition law be ex-
tended six months after the proc
lamation of peace. This would make

Mr.. Randall today declared his in
tention of seeking this extension
through an amendment to the bill
t. extend for six months the Lever
food and fuel control act. as re-
quested by Attorney General Pal

Thus, with such rider attached,
if congress votes to extend the Lev
er law so Mr.. Palmer can continue
prosecuting profiteers. at the same
time 1t will vote automatically to
make the wartime dry era effect

He pointed out that war prohibit
ton is closely related to food con-
troll. in reality being part Of food
enforcement law. 1t is section IL
of the act enabling the secretary
of agriculture to enforce the Lever
act.
The unrest throughout the coun-
fry has caused many me"'bers to
question advisahility of lifting the
war ban. More serious disorders
would result if saloons were re-op-
ened. they think.
