Speaking of the election, The
Baltimore Sun says:
Whatever may be the exact
figures of Tuesdays election,
one thing stands out clearly and
Enthusiastically as to the general
result. The Harding Admins
tration may not face a revolu-
ton, but it faces something a
great deal more serious than a
passing political riot. There
may not have been an over
whelming tidal-wave, but there
has been enough of an earth
quake to shake the strongest
Republican citadels. The Ad-
ministration has received an ex-
traordinary warning and rebuke,
IT it has not been utterly dis
credited. The people of the
country have served notice on
it that they are displeased and
dissatified with it and that it's
policies and achievements have
not measured up to it's promises
or to their expectations.
Only two years fhave elapsed
since Mr.. Harding was swept
into the White House on a
mountainous popular wave
that surpassed in mighty signifi-
canoe anything in the political
history of the country. No such
vote of confidence had ever been
given another Presidential can
didate. And now, at the end of
twenty-four months, his seven
million majority has largely
melted away, and he barely es-
capes vote of censure.
That thisis the chief moral and |
meaning of Tuesdays ballot will |
scarcely be disputed even by the
friends of the Administration.
The facts and figures speak for
themselves. They do not rep
resent an outburst of political
passion, nor a mere tendency to
popular fickleness. No such con-
ISOLATION can be read into the re-
turns.
Except Missouri, the campaign
was not characterized by the
fury and bitterness which have
been the features of many prev
lous contests. It seemed, in
many sections, indeed, to be lack
ing in the heat which is often sup
posed to denote earnestness and
conviction. It is this very fact
hat seems to give Tuesdays YER
lict its peculiar implication. 1t
appears to be a calm and deliber-
tie appraisement of Mr.. Hard
ng's management of national
lffairs that carries far more
than mere outburst of
tngry feeling. 1t has the chill
ng effect of a scientific survey
md analysis. tits the pronounce
nent not Of political hate, but of
disapproval. 1t is
! direct answer to Mr.. Harding's
'ecent letter to Representative
Fordney in which he made an
laborate defense of the Re- {
'ublican party's record and his
wn. And the answer should
lake him stop, look and listen. {
