fN HARDING ana COOLIDGE are tieCteu'
They have been swept into Office by
ain avalanche. No such plurality has
ever been given to a candidate for
: President and a candidate for Vice
President.
? On the surface this would seem to
y mean that HARDING and COOLIDGE
carry further with the people In re-
spect of personal popularity or In the
nationwide confidence reposed in them
than the candidates Of any previous
><tional election.
A Such conclusion would not be
sound. Political avalanches that
crush everything before them spring
* from quite another source. They do
not come at the call of personal popu-
larity. They are the expression Of an
Z, cmbittered people, the protest Of an
Outraged nation.
Wilson autocracy, impudent, in
? tolerant, dictatorial, and Democratic
: inefficiency, extravaganza, wasteful-
ness. are the source of the 1920
avalanche The people Of this demo-
-reratic country have had all they could
!. stand or would stand of Czarism.
y And the people have had all they
: could stand or would stand of the
{. Democratic party management of
y; their affairs-a management that has
!, we'll nigh bankrupted the Treasury
"A in spite of the fact that it is squeez-
!. Ing the life blood out of the people in
taxation.
Hence this election in its big bear
ings is n nationwide protest against a
continuance of Democratic rule. The
american people have had their fill Of
ut for many weary, dreary months and
Nhave blded their time. chatting bitterly
meanwhile, till the day should come
for them to speak through the ballot.
and they have now spoken.
r The lesson of the Wilson Admins
tration, rejected by the American peo-
Z pie In singing disgrace. because of
q Its lntolerant individualism and utter
: business incapacity. is lesson to the
incoming Administration.
2, Not that Senator HARpING needs
such admonition In the matter of in
dfvidualism. In this respect he Is
: the exact opposite of Mr.. WILSON.
Senator HARDING is no Gar. The
Z country need have no fear of repe-
j tItion of wisconsin with him in the
i white House.
y But where this admonition may
very properly be needed by the in
coming Administration is in the
4 matter of its general efficiency in the
y handling of the nations affairs.
America has grown to be q great ma
z ton. In many respects the greatest
I In the world. Its business is so vast.
! its internal and foreign affairs are
,. : 30 complex and so far reaching that
4, only the very best men Of the country
have the capacity to man It's mani
= fold jobs successfully.
~ The price of victory is good SER
vice.
In no other way can a President
Of these United States repay the peo-
pie of the nation for the confidence
they have in him In electing him 70
- the first Office in the land, in electlng
him to one of the most exalted posts
IN all the world.
MI Senator HARDIvG's place in history
.,lMill rest with the men he calls to the
siservice Of his Administration. If they
~4have youth, clear heads, genius for
* their jobs, honesty, loyalty and the
4 realization that the Government ex.
!, poets and demands of them the best
y There is in them, his Administration
.swill handle the business Of the Gov
Ssrnment better than It has ever been
handled before.
-us Fortunately Senator HARDING comes
E4FT
into the Presidency free man. His
~. administration Is not mortgnged To
politicians. to financiers or to aspir-
ants for official honors.
