By the time this reaches the readers
of the Democrat, it Is safe TO say, every
one of them knows the general result OF
the election of last Tuesday. 1t is not
necessary to repeat here that Warren G..
Harding of Ohio was elected president OF
the United States, and Calvin Coolidge OF
necessary to state that the result was q
Republican victory for which the term
landslide is altogether inadequate, which
gaiued tremendously in volume by the
addition of the votes Of the women. OF
only slightly less importance is the fact
that a congress Republican in both
branches completes a government in
control of the Republicans.
For long time il has been apparent
to Intelligent people what the result was
to be, and few elections have ever caused
less surprise in their outcome.
For review of the result, we COM
mend to our readers an editorial from
the Boston Herald, reproduced else
where in this paper, which we'll lndi-
Gates its significance. The Solemn
referendum" to which President Wilson
has referred seems to have decided that
the country does not want, without
change or reservation, the league cove
nant on the absolute acceptance Of which
he has insisted. But the result does not
mean that America will not join in a
league, with American rights safeguard.
ed, to promote peace, nor does 1t mean
that America will shlrk her duty as one
of the nations of the world-the great
est nation, in fact.
Relations with other nations will how
ever constitute only small part of that
which the new administration has to do
There Is domestic business and there
are domestic problems which will re-
quire the highest grade of craftsmanship.
This will be brought to bear on the
problems by Mr.. Harding and by the
assistants and advisers with whom he
will surround himself. 1t will be real
administration, not a one-man affair.
