HOW THE VOTES WERE CAST.

.One significant thing about the recent election
is the evidence afforded that the sentiment which
has resulted in the rebuke to the state administra-
ton was not confined to any particular group of the
states population or to any particular group in the
state. 1t is not possible for those whose policies
have been rejected to substantiate any claim which
they may make that their defeat was accomplished
by means of any special influence to which the peo-
pie of a particular group or a particular locality
were subjected.
The compilation Of election returns is always
an interesting, and usually a strenuous task. The
work on this occasion was unusually interesting be-
cause Of the comparisons which presented them
selves. When the returns from individual precincts
were compared with the returns from the same pre-
cincts a year ago it was found in the vast majority
of cases that regardless of whether the precincts
sentiment in it had been fairly equally divided, there
lad been a material league gain. In the tables for
Grand Forks county the returns for the two cleo
tons were given in parallel columns, SO that the
reader had opportunity to inspect for himself. Sim
liar conditions prevailed generally throughout the
eastern part of the state, where fairly complete re-
turns were available on election night. In the
western section there were more fluctuations, the
administration having made most of its gains in the
southwestern counties.
The conclusions to be drawn from the returns
are that the demand for a change Of policy and a
change Of administration was general, and that it
existed in the rural districts in even greater measure
9han in the cities. This being true, the recall move
ment is more than justified, and the new admins
tration viii assume its work conscious Of having a
real mandate from the people of North Dakota.

NEGLIGENT VOTING.

While the three members of the state admins
tration who were subjected to the recall have been
defeated and the people have voted to substitute
others for them, the proposed laws initiated by petit
ton have failed to carry. This fact was not moni-
fest IN the earlier returns from the election, as only
Hi a very few cases were reports made on the vote
On these proposed laws. Yesterday morning, how

figures were received from various counties to make
this probability a certainty. The situation then is

DEPLoRABLE, BUT NOT FATAL.

1T IS not the purpose OF The Herald to discuss
the circumstances which have made necessary an
the authority Of the various official bodies repre-
senting the municipality of Grand Forks: In the
interest of the community it is better that these
deplorable as they arc, should be
dealt with Jud'c'ously by the properly constituted
authorities than that they should be made the sub
ject of public discussion. But the condition in
which this work is left is a matter Of public interest
which demands attention. anc :. discussing it some
must necessarily be made to it's history.
Three years ago there was adopted in this city
a plan of public musical instruction having for it's
dual purpose the maintenance of a band which in it's
personnel and its effectiveness as a musical organ
ization should creditably represent the city, and the
giving of training in instrumental music, free of
charge, to all the students in the public schc~' who
desired it and gould be benefited by it. 1t was ap-
parent that the person who should be chosen to
take charge of that work must be one of unusual
ability, and in making the. selection the greatest
possible care was exercised. The director chosen
was highly recommended. He has served some
three years, and the quality of the work done leaves
nothing to be desired. The Municipal band has
reached a standard of excellence which is attained
in few similar organizations, and the musical pro-
gress made by the pupils in the schools has been
more than satisfactory to parents and teachers, and
to the general public, which has had many opportu-
mites to observe and enjoy the numerous concerts
and other entertainments gi'en. ~
The Herald has often commented with enthu-
siasn1 on the character of the work being performed,
and had every reason to believe that it might be
indefinitely under the same auspices with
benefit to all concerned. An unfortunate situation
has arisen which makes this impossible, and those
IN authority have been prompt to terminate relations
which could no longer properly be continued.
The work Of musical instruction in Grand
Forks, under the auspices of the community itself,
a work into which 50 much effort has been put by
SO many of our people, and whose benefits, so great
and $50 w10eSDread. are inst cOrninos into ,poreei,.
ton, must not be allowed to drop. 1t may be that
some way can be found to keep the various groups
together in some organized form until the vacancy
which has been created can be filled. But whether
this is possible or not, we are confident that the
sentiment of the community will be emphatically
for filling the position that has been made vacant
as soon as the right selection can be made. In maxi
ing the original selection, in their attitude toward
the work during its progress, and in their action at
this time, those who have been in official connection
with the work on the part Of the public have been
Jealous for the promotion of the highest Interest,"

Harding and Advisors
to Determine
Policy.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
By ROBERT BARRY,

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S.-It is a
matter now of days when President
Harding, Secretary Hughes and Sen.
ator Lodge may come to a momen-
tous decision as to the extent and
scope of American relationships with
Europe, with the world economies
and world finance, with political is
sues bearing squarely on American
rights.
In every well-informed quarter In
Washington there is acknowledgment Of
the imminence Of that far-reaching de-
termination of policy. The Administra-
tion is regarded as ready to give the
answer. That answer, it is believed, will
not be in accord with the policy of COM
plete isolation in which the Senate irrec-
oncilables succeeded In the conflict with
Woodrow Wilson.
President Harding has said frequently
to some of his former colleagues in the
Senate that responsibility carried with
it an entirely different viewpoint than an
academic discussion conducted from the
other end of Pennsylvania avenue. He
has not meant by that he has aspired
to abandon his antagonism to American
membership in a political organization
such as he holds the League Of Nations
to be. Mr. Hughes is represented as
holding a like view. Both believe Amer
lea can safeguard her rights and dis
charge her proper responsibilities with
out involvement in any hard and fast
political entity. Their theory is one of
association with the nations rather than
an association of the nations.
In many n diplomatic quarter. how
