Research and development studies

Improving the service, save telephone
subscribers many million dollars per

This represents saving OF more than

THE ELECTION.

The American people Tuesday
last chose their President il. an
election which in some respects
stands unique in the history OF
the country. With a vote now
estimated at S0,0010O0, the
largest ever cast, MIR. Coolidge
was elected by a plurality of.ap-
proximately more than 10,0Os,
600, and a majority over both OF
his contestants of 5000, 900.
This is a remarkable tribute
to the personal character of the
Republican candidates, notably
that Of the President. During
the Is months of his service in
the White House he has i'm.
pressed the country with his
scrupulous integrity, with his
courage based on a conscientious
devotion to duty and belief in
the principles of sound Govern
ment, and with his common
sense and patriotic wisdom in
administration. Though he has
been confronted by an adverse
Congress, made such by the OBJ
structive factionalism of a group
of legislators nominally OF his
own party, he has accomplished
results Tor a businesslike, eco.
nomical and yet progressive ad-
ministration.
In the contest which closed
Tuesday, Mr.. Coolidge was faced
with a double opposition. An
independent movement had
started under the leadership OF
one who had gained the ear and
to some extent apparently the
support of a large number OF
people, threatening to cut deep
ly into the Republican strength,
particularly in the Northwest.
The Democratic party, though
shaken by the bitter contests in
the nominating convention, pre-
scented strong. able man of the
highest character as its candi-
date and, apparently united,
, waged a strong campaign, az,
gressive and comprehensive.
The result has proved first OF
all that the third party move
ment is a failure, La t'olIette's
strength falling short of being a
balance Of power in the North
western States and barely sutfi
Gent in his own State of Wiscon-
sin to give him its electoral vote.
1t has proved in the second
place that the people are not dis
posed to visi. upon the President
and his party as now consti-
tutted, punishment for short
comings that have been already
corrected.
The result has proved, further
more, that there is no dominant
wish for a change in the method
of Interpreting the Constitution,
a duty now intrusted to the Su-
preme Court. 1t has proved
that there is no large large pub
lie support Of radicalism in this
country.
MR.. MUDD's DEFEAT.
The only regretable feature Of
the election was the defeat OF
Mr.. Thomas B. r. Mudd for
both the long and short terms OF
Congress. Mr.. Mudd made a
most remarkable fight against
great odds. The splendid vote
made by him in the short period
in which he had to make his
campaign and with all the forces
of the Democratic party, both
State and National, directed
against him, is a tribute to the
young mans worth and the 10y
atty Of his friends. We congrat-
ulate him upon his splendid and
remarkable fight.

Coolidge Sweeps
The Country !
Gets a Larger Popular
Vote Than Harding.
BEATs pAvIs IN HOME srArE.
La Toilette Relocated
To The Scrap Heap.

The American people by over.
gheIming electoral and popular
votes Tuesday last elected Cal
vim Coolidge, of Massachusetts,
PRESIDENT, and Charles G.. Dawes,
of Illinois, Vice President.
The electoral vote, giving to
each candidate the States in
which he carried, is as follows
Coolidge-379.
Davis 139.
La Toilette 10.
Reacting to the common sense
and safety first pleas advanced
1y the Republican leaders,, the
country definitely decided and
we think for all time, against
the proposals advanced by Sen
ator La Toilette. The La Fol.
lette vote was far below the total
hoped for by his friends.
Davis failed to carry any State
outside of the South, even losing
his own State to his opponent, as
did Gov. Bryan, the Democratic
Vice Presidential candidate.
The tremendous sweep of the
Republican national ticket has
enabled the party to again get
control Of Congress, outnumber-
ing the combined Democratic
and Progressive strength.
The victory is interpreted as a
great personal triumph for Pres
ident Coolidge. The campaign
of both the Democrats and the
Progressives alleged corruption
in the Republican administration.
The verdict of the American
people shows entire confidence
in Mr.. Coolidge.

SALIVA OF LOWER AMI

American Folklore society and so
everybody knows who is at all IA

would be hard to name superstition
more firmly rooted in the popular mind
and more widely spread than this. AS
In classic times Pliny, the great Ro-

man poet, wrote in elegant Latin on
the same subject we must not be too
squeamish to notice it ourselves. The
ancients appear to have conceived the
saliva of the lower animals as pos

man-using the words spiritual and
