PARTY THAT GETS "SILENT VOTE''
WILL WIN ELECTION

of changed results can be sensed
when it is known that if Is per
cent of the folks who are entitled
to vote Nov. 4 cast their votes the
total will be more than 80 per cent
above the total vote in the 1920
presidential election. In that year
only fraction more than 40 per
cent of eligible votes were cast.
Just what is it that appeals most
to this "silent vote" on the part of
the candidates? How should one go
about catching it?
Probably there isn't any formula.
But in the main it is held that the
large part Of this vote is the think
ing as we'll as the silent vote.
The man who doesn't say much
is apt to do good bit of thinking.
He threshes things out in his own
mind rather than arguing them out
with another.
Sometimes, of course, he may be
simple and silent instead Of simply
silent, just as it is suggested by his
critics that while Coolidge some

Washington, Oct. 2O,-Will "Silent
Cal" get the "silent vote? If he
does, then Davis and La Toilette
may as well waive the formaity of
counting the ballots and conccde
the election of the G. o. p. ticket.
For it is the *silent vote" the
men and women who take no ac-
tive part in the rallies, demonstra
tions and general hullabaloo of a
campaign, who listen and think
but do not lose either sleep or
their tempers over the claims Of
the campaigners, who really decide
who is to be who the day after
election.
This year the usual "silent" vote
is expected to be increased by some
millions of normally stay home
voters. partisan civic and pa
triotic organizations, as we'll as all
the party outfits, are uniting in a
drive to get to the polls at least rs
per cent Of the eligible voters.
What this may mean in the way

DEADLOCK WILL NOT NECESSARILY
MEAN c.. w. BRYAN'S ELECTION

and La Toilette and Wheeler in
third place.
Then suppose the House of Rep
resentatives, charged with the task
of picking the president in case the
electoral college can't do it, also
deadlocks, as probably it would.
In such situation the Senate
really would make the presidential
choice, for the Senate elects the
vice president if the college cannot,
and if the House couldn't elect a
presidential selection would become
president.
/ But while the House is authorized
by the constitution to vote on three
presidential candidates, the Senate
votes on but two candidates for the
vice presidency.
Thus the senatorial voting would
be limited to Dawes and Bryan.
In a case like that it's not strain
ing matters to assume that the Pro-
gressive senators, deeming Bryan
preferable to the unquestioHably
conservative Dawes, would throw
their strength to Bryan. And, Of
course, the Democrats would vote
| for him.
Between Democrats and Progress
sives he'd have majority and would
become vice president, and imme-
diately afterward president.
But suppose, with Coolidge and
Dawes leading in the electoral COL
lege, La Toilette and Wheeler came
second and Davis and Bryan third.
Then, if both the college and the
House deadlocked, the Senate would
have to choose between Dawes and
Wheeler.
Naturally Dawes would get the
Republicans support.
And does anybody think there
aren't enough conservative Demo-
cratic senators who would throw
their votes to him to give him a
majority?
Anybody who does imagine such a
thing doesn't know much about the
Senate of the United States.

Washington, Oct. 2O.--Politicians
who consider Charles w. Bryan too
radical to be safe have been crying
out for some time that a deadlocked
electoral college the first of the
year would amount practically to
Bryan for president.
1t doesn't necessarily follow, how
ever.
1t only follows, if it follows at
all, in case the Progressives are the
tailenders in the election in Novem-
Der.
And they may not be.
If the Republicans lead and the
Progressives make the second best
showing, which is possible, then an
electoral college deadlock means
Charles c. Dawes for president just
as naturally as the other lineup
means Bryan.
Just Suppose!
Politicians who consider Dawes
too. conservative to be safe--just as
the conservatives consider Bryan
too radical-don't seem to have
thought Of this. At any rate, they
haven't emitted any loud cries about
it, as the others have.
Compare the two cases.
Say the electoral college does
deadlock, with Coolidge and Dawes
receiving a plurality of the votes.
Davis and Bryan second on the list

President of Constitution
League Speaks Here

Harry Atwood, president Of the
Constitutional League of America,
delivered an address upon the con
stitution ut the Grand Pacific hotel
this noon before members of the Ro-
tary, kiwanis, Lions clubs and club
women Of the city. He made a vigor-
Gus plea against the tendencies of
the time and attacked the advisable
ty of the so-called modern ideas as
expressed in the initiative. referen-
dunn and recall. He declared these
Instruments of democracy were not
new but as old as lhe hills and had
been tried and found wanting.
at is no/ a question:" he said, "of
growing away from the constitution
but rather growing into it,"
Government ownership and most
of the schemes of socialism he de-
clared had been tried and failed in
America years before the constitu.
tion was written. He sketched his
torical circumstances leading up to
the adoption of the constitution quot
ing at length from the letters of
Washington.
1.-THE period leading up to the adop-
tion of the constitution" he said,
'was as dark and as gloomy from a
governmental standpoint as is Rus
STA today"
Touching upon the celebration Of
the Tooth anniversary of the consti-
tuition in Philadelphia, he declared
that tendencies in government since
then would indicate that we had
''bidden the constitution goodby."
He scored democracy as a system
Of government, declaring that any
nation which has ever tried to apply
that principle of government had
suffered paralysis. He urged getting
back to the fundamentals of the con-
stitution and he declared that it was
the one great asset of the country
and the fact that it was the organic
law of the nation spelt opportunity
for millions.
Mr.. Atwood is the author Of a
number of books upon the constitu-
ion, an outstanding authority upon
modern government and a foe of So
cialistic tendencies and all attacks
of the so-called modernists upon the
constitution. He attacked the in
vOlved ballots, the circulating of
endless petitions and referring intri-
cate matters of legislation to popu-
lar referendum. He asked his hear
ers how long baseball would last in
America if the bleachers picked the
team by a popular referendum and
the umpires decisions could be re-
pealed by petition of the spectators

times sits and thinks there are times

Coolidge's silence during the cam
pa gn-hc has made but two speech
es that could be considered campaign
utterances-is declared by his back
ers to be proper technique.
The candidates apparent indif-
ference and nonchalance, it is held,
creates 4 sense of his absolute con-
fidence. This self-assurance is sup
posed to react psycholOgically on
doubtful voters, making all those
who gauge their votes by the de-
sire to mark winner incline to
the man who seems surest of VIC
tory.
Also, while an. outsider, trying
to get in, may indulge in a hammer
and-tongs campaign, a similarly
strenuous battle by one already in
would be interpreted as meaning
that he was badly scared. And that
would be an unfortunate impression,
causing all faint-heartel followers
to abandon his cause.
CoOlidge's viewpoint is that for
a candidate who is already in office
to indulge in much speech making
indicates that he is on the defensive.
The fellows who are leading the Of
Tense, he agrees, must talk. But the
is to stand pat, say nothing, and
exude an atmosphere of unsuitable
confidence.
The president says he never knew
candidate to lose anything by talk
ing too little, so he's striving to talk
even less than usual.
After his demand that Charley
Dawes be ousted as vice presidential
candidate of the Republican party,
G. o. p. leaders are more than ever
certain that Senator Brookhart's
parents were clairvoyant when they
named him Smith WILDMAN Brook
hart. Because Of Brookhart and his
challenge there are now a lot of
wild men around Coolidge Dawes
headquarters.
After all, the enthusiasm on tap
in presidential campaign is pretty
much of manufactured article.
Official as we'll as civil Washington
has been a lot more "het up" over
the worlds series than it will be
over any possible result of the No
vember elections.
