THE ADMINISTRATION

(From the San Francisco Chronicle)
The primary elections and the
final in the Maine show that the
country approves and will strongly
support the administration of Presi-
dent Harding. There is some dis
satisfaction with Congress. which Is
likely to result in such increase of
Democratic representation in the
House OF Representatives as will
give that party about its normal
standing in that body. Two years
ago evaporation with the preceding
was so great that the
Republican majority in the House
was abnormal and probably larger
than II is desirable that any political
party should have.
The senatorial campaigns have at
tracted most attention, and not in
single instance has a change in the
Republican nominee indicated dis
satisfaction with the President or
with Republican policies. The re-
nomination OF Senator Townsend IN
Michigan shows what the Republi-
cans of that State think of the
miserable politics which sought to
unseat Senator Newberry. whose
sole alleged offense, or that of his
friends. was such advertising OF his
candidacy. without violating any
