1912 then interviewed and the united
Republican party had no off-year
chance TO take the House away from
President Wilson until 1918. This
year, although tho excessive Repub-
lican majority OF 1920 has melted
away, there has been no ponderable
Democratic majority created. The
reaction was not one Of the old
fashioned. carry-through kind.
As a matter Of political probable
ity the Dem ocrats were due to win,
or nearly win, the House this fall.
When it came to finding reasons for
a victory they could not agree

and decentralized campaign. They
were all things to all men-differ-
ent things In different States. A sep
arate reason must be given for the
SUCCESS OF nearly every Democratic
Senator chosen or defeated. And
the same thing applies to the great
majority OF the Democratic candi-
dates for the House.
The Republicans were in for a Sc

Republican leadership IN both House
and Senate, kept the slaughter from

Governor Miller in Defeat
(From the New York Tribuns)

In any impartial Judgment upon
the election in New York State, there
can be no question that a grlevous
popular blunder sent Governor Mil
Ter down to defeat. There has been
no dissenting voice among those who
have witnessed his work and com
pretended his accomplishments. On
the sheer executive side II IS doubt
full IL New York has ever had a
greater Governor. His sense of or
ganization. his grasp Of. detail, his
familiarity with the state machinery.
his ability in finance. gave him a
unique and rounded fitness for his
post. In refusing Governor Miller
a second term the voters Of New
York have undoubtedly denied them
selves two years OF the ablest con-
duct of their public affairs.
Upon the score Of courage and
moral integrity Governor Miller has
been an equally notable figure. He
went about his tasks with a rugged
disregard OF cliques and localities.
of prejudices and shibboleths. As
few enough men in public life have
succeeded in doing. he has held by
the truth as he saw It and swerved
not a fraction OF an inch through
fear or favor.
Governor Miller has nothing 20 re-
greet in such a service. He has
everything to be proud OF. He has
set standard of efficiency that will
long remain for future Governors 10
aim at. The regret must be for the
State OF New oYrk. that thus loses a
public servant of a quality difficult
enough TO replace.

national need.
That increasing understanding OF
the needs which the administrators

meeting is resulting In increasing
support is evidenced by reports from
many sections of the~country. That
realization of its nature is leading
the public to consider the problem
in nonpartisan terms is indicated by
reports OF growing support in Demo-
cratic gholds-notably in Vir-
ginia and other Southern States.
Congress should discard petty
politics in dealing with this subject
and should handle II in the straight
forward manner that patriotic states
manship urges and national necessity
dictates. Let It approach the mat
ter directly and solve II as a clear
cut business proposition-which It is.
Does the nations best interest urge
the expansion OF foreign trade d?
Does national defense require the
and maintenance OF
merchant fleets? These
two questions answer themselves in
the affirmative. That makes I'M
escapable the conclusion that It IS
to the nations best interest 10 meet
and defensive needs in
the best way--and the only practical
has so far been suggested.
The President has already clear
y set forth his program for the pro-
motion and maintenance OF Ameri-
AN shipping. Careful analysis has
allied to disclose any weakness, and
no constructive criticism has been
,ffered It stands today as the only
proposal before the pub

The Minimum Wage Decision
(From the New York Herald.)

moralization OF the American spirit
and the fatal collapse of American
supremacy.
It is true enough. as the court
says, that If a minimum wage law
is right for women II is right for
men. But what II II is. And It is true
that under existing constitutional
provisions II It is good law TO fix a
minimum wage, with the apparent
notification of the right of contract
and of the liberty of the free citizen
10 work at his chosen occupation and
on his own terms. But even those
points can be met by suitable legis-
lative provision and individual ac-
ton.
As a matter Of fact. the minimum
wage is in operation in thousands
of American industries by agree
ment and contract. And It seldom
or never slavishly holds all the
workers of a given labor class down
to the minimum wage. The individ-
ual wage Garner Is anu CdH AWAY .

to work at that minimum wage.
The individual employer is and can
always remain a free agent to pay
more than the minimum wage to
any worker. the higher pay being
based on his productive efficiency
or other merits.
The danger of the minimum wage,
in truth, is not that the individual
who is worth more than the min
lmum wage will be compelled 10

I public service. He has given faith
fully the best there Is in him to the
state.
The story OF Nathan i. Miller as
Governor, great Governor that he Is,
considered in respect of yesterdays
landslide vote against him, is not
calculated to inspire our ablest men
with zeal for public office. and this
is the pity OF the whole thing.
While no man in a fight likes 10
lose, nevertheless the decision OF
yesterdays election so far as con-
Germs Governor Miller is enormously
to his advantage. And but for the
disappointment of the moment that
decision will bring to him great per
sonal satisfaction.

certify congratulates Governor Miller
on the decision OF Tuesdays ballots
And in the same sincerity The New
York Herald congratulates Al Smith
on his splendid personal victory.
and overwhelming Endorsement at
the hands OF tho citizens OF New
York.
Throughout the campaign The
New York Herald has said that Al
Smith made good Governor as
Governors go. With the fine example
of Miliers achievements before him.
with Miller's matchless administra-
ton before him, Al Smith should be
a better Governor in his second
term than he was in his first term.
But II AL Smith does some of the
things he said in his campaign he
would do II elected he will certain
" be a worse Governor than he was
in his first ter1n-a very much worse
Governor.
While the New York Herald
throughout the campaign advocated
Governor Miller's election and
throughout the campaign opposed
the election OF Al Smith, It will
nevertheless indorse and support
Governor Smith IN all meritorious
work as strongly and as readily as
It would have Endorsed and sup
ed Governor Miller in meritorious
work IL he had been reelected.
And conversely, The New York
Herald will oppose Governor Smith
as strongly and as readily in acts
that It cannot indorse quite as It |

The authoritative statement that
President Harding will shortly issue
a call for an extraordinary session OF
Congress to convene this month. for
consideration OF the administration
merchant marine program TO the end
that definite legislative action may
be taken, will be received with graft
fcation by all who have followed the
development OF the shipping problem
10 its present critical stage. II APP
pears that, at last. the nations mari
time need is TO be dealt with.
With the converting OF the extra
session the burden OF solving this
problem will shift from executive to
legislative shoulders. The Presi-
dent has done his part by working
out a constructive plan for the estab-
lishment and maintenance OF mer-
chant marine adequate to Americas
commercial and military needs, and
by Submitting Il 10 Congress with his
earnest recommendation for positive
sction-and has done Il well. II
now remains for Congress to say
whether or not this obvious need IS
20 De met.
This is no subject FOR partisanship.
There IS no place for prejudice In
It's consideration. The question goes
beyond party lines and reaches the
heart OF national need. America
has already learned 20 It's cost the
folly OF denying funds FOR mainten-
ance OF merchant marine sufficient
TO meet the nations commercial re-
quirements and thus furnishing II
with secondary defense IN time OF
war. While Americas experience
in the world war taught this grim
lesson thoroughly. the value OF this
teaching may be lost by delay in ap-
plying II. with nations az with in
dividuals, when experience grows
stale. its lesson IS apt TO be forgot

Tuesdays election affords abund-
ant material for any one who cares
to manipulate figures in order to
show that his particular fad has
made headyay here or there. or that
the public men he likes and dislikes
have won or lost Directly opposite
facts can be drawn from selected
figures and local contests. The drys
have been strong in some places and
the vets have swept others. Repub-
leans have made gains in some
places and in others Democrats have
won. Senatorial. gubernatorial and
congressional changes have been
made by the voters in the States, but
these changes offset one another in
such fashion, for local reasons, that
it is impossible TO trace the effect of
any national influence upon the vot-
ers of all the States.
When it is stated that the Demo-
cratic party has made substantial
gains in Congress at the expense of
the Republican party, all is stated.
But II It should be assumed that
these gains foretell the defeat OF the
Republican party two years hence,
the assumption would fly in the face
Of present facts and past experience.
The Democratic party has not won
either branch of Congress. Hence It
cannot mold legislation or force the
President to modify or abandon his
program. The Republican party, al
though 1t will be reduced in num-
bers in the ensuing Congress, will
retain control and responsibility. It's
control has been rather more con-
spicuous than it's sense OF RESPONSE
bility during the Slxty-seventh Con-
sress.
One bold. outstanding fact may be
liscerned by the impartial observer
n considering Tuesdays election. |
This is that Warren G. Harding is
more than ever the leader of the Re /
publican party. Republicans of great
in Congress have been .
,eaten. for one cause or the other, or
iave been elected by the skin of
heir teeth; but II the country as a
Whole had wished to rebuke or re-
,udiate Mr.. Harding and his record
could and would have done so. 1t

The progressives who have been
elected here and there are not
known nationally, and their sphere
Of influence Is correspondingiy re-
stricted. The elimination OF several
prominent national figures raises
MT. Harding TO a still more promi-
nents place at the head OF his party.
Its policies were made by him, its
record during the next two years
will be nodded by him, and in 1924
the party will make It's complete re-
port TO the people and await its YER
dict. It is inconceivable that the
party will repudiate the man who
has led It while II was making its
record, and by setting aside the cree
ator of its policies ask the people to
return It to power with some other
leader, whose only claim would be
that he would try to reverse the
party's record.
Tho Republican party he's re"
ceived an admonition that II It Is to
remain in power Il must go forward
and execute the reforms which It
promised TO the people in 1920.
Halfway work is not acceptable. The
Democratic party. having no issues.
no alternative plans. and no leader
around whom to rally, was kept
from power by the peoples fiat of
Tuesday. Here and there a Demo-
crat was promoted who seems to De
Of promising material Any one of
them may have an opportunity to
run against Mr.. Harding in 1924. In
Republican ranks, however, here is
not a figure that stands out as a
possible contender for the nomina-
ton against Mr.. Harding.

did not. It voted to keep the Re
publican party in control OF Con-
gress, but with a warning TO do bet
ter. It did not vote against any one
Of Mr.. Harding's policies. or con-
denim anything that he is now trying
to do. on the contrary, the re-
turns, considered nationally, may be
summed up as a mandate from the
people to all Senators and Congress-
men newly elected, requiring them
to stand by the man in the White
House and not to interfere with the
great reforms he has set on foot in
behalf of the people.
If the people had mad in mind the
elimination OF Mr. Harding, It is not
conceivable that they would have
cut down the most promising of the
progressive" material which had
been groomed for the Republican
Presidential nomination. Governor
Miller, of New York, was regarded
by some political observers as a po-
tential candidate in 1924, while for
mer Senator Beveridge, OF Indiana,
was widely proclaimed as the COM
ing champion of the Republican
party-the young, the fresh, the pro-
gressive champion who would wipe
out all traces Of conservatism, sweep
Harding aside. and capture the
nomination in a whirlwind of popu-
lar enthusiasm. But Beveridge is
beaten. and apparently the Republic
cans of Indiana contributed to his
defeat.
Throughout the nation. the cleo
ton of Tuesday nowhere developed
a sign of radicalism in the Republi
can party, such as might be reason
ably construed as a menace to the
leadership of President Harding. !

there recurs for the future the age
old puzzle OF how efficiency is ever
to be attained under popular govern
ment. Governor Mlller,s defects as
a popular candidate were obvious.
He clearly won his debate with Mr..
Smith upon the real Issues OF the
campaign-won hands down. He
lost his debate in the peoples eyes
because Mr.. Smith was the more ap-
pealing figure and was able to bring
to the front two issues which. look
ing to the interests of the State OF
New York, has nothing to do with
the case. The very qualities which
made Governor Miller a tower Of
strength at Albany made him seem
a grim and Gold machine by COM
parison with glad-hand candidate.
The citizens Of New York City can
remember a case in point to their
sorrow. Mayor Mitchell went down
to defeat at the polls for some of the
very reasons which have defeated
Governor Miller. In a republic It is
not enough in this day and genera
ton to be a great executive. A pub
lie servant must have in addition a
gift for dramatizing his achieve
ments. He must not only do great
things-he must do them conspicu-
ously, so as to catch the popular eye.
Some men can succeed by merely
seeming to do big things. He must
have the gift OF popular speech and
gesture in addition to doing his job.
Perhaps times may change, but they
have not changed yet. The galleries
are still the galleries, and no act can
succeed politically without their APP
prevail.
