INMASHED COACHES


 New Haven railroad will attempt to keep it's railroad coaches looking spick-and span When the dictates of pride in quality of It's railroad stock will cause the expenditure Of enough time, effort and money to wash up and paint up occasionally?
 The criticism, of course, does not apply to all the coaches on the line, but 1t certainly applies to the ma jority. There is no railroad in the country today which operates SO many lirty-looking coaches
 The original color of the coaches is rarely discernible, lt is believed that when they come from the build. CTS they are a sort Of dark bnff, but the memory of observers Is shaky on this point as they haven't seen any new coaches for many years.
 The railroad has a fair number Of steel coaches on It's main lines, but these are the worst-looking of the lot. Some Of them are so black on the outside that the name of the railroad, painted in large letters on each coach, cannot be discerned.
 And the interiors-what a iravesty on appearances! The paint was originally a glossy grey, or yellow the exact color cannot be asccrtained but now most or the surface is dirty and rusty. Yes, rusty! Steel rusts when paint is not applied after a cer- tain time, and it is patent 10 the eyes Of anyone 10 see the rust in many Of the car interiors.
 Windows appear as if they were never washed. The windows on the platform ends Of one of the coaches were Investigated" and found 10 be nearly as dark as the forbiddinE steel exterior.
 Getting into conversation with a New Haven trainman the other day, he vas asked if the railroad ever washed its coaches. His answer at first was an amused smile. Nav; never known 'em to waste money that way" he replied. This coach you are in has never been washed or painted, inside or outside. since it was built Go up on the Boston and Albany for good-looking coaches: they wash and paint 'rm regularly and most Of 'em are polished like a rst-cIass hotel"
 Such is inc truth. Some wooden coaches on the New Haven. 1t ap- pears. keep up their looks m inc in- terior better than the steel coaches. They at least haven't rust showing through the ersf while paint.
 The New Haven is no credit 10 New England. Neither is inc Boston and Maine. Both Of them have been run too much in the ground instead or on the ground. The New Haven manage uent has been scored from time 10 time by authorities. inc last time by 9 Massachusetts railroad investigating Botp- but # dOcsnt seem to do much eund.

as much authority as Secretary of tn Treasury Mellon"
 "President Harding told me in April 1928" Senator Capper says. that h' would fa.or the bonus bill at this ses siop Of congress. Personally, botd party and personal pledges guided me"
 Then the wartime governor O Kansas takes a waIlop at another kin' of bonus" paid to various interests who came before the soldier H. couches it in these words;
 T have not forgotten that our government adjusted the claims of war contractors. Nor have ] forgotten that our government adjusted the claims of the rail- roads for losses they claimed as incident 10 the wartime operation Of the roads as an agency of nh- tional defense. Nor have I foS- gotten that the government paid it's half million civilian employcs a bonus of S240 a year and is still paying 1t to many of them. Then, too, when l visited the soldier camps I remember seeing thou- sands of ablo-bodied civilians em- ployed by the government at $6 to SIP a day. The profitecrS rob- bed the government as well as the people: $500 new miilionaires were created, and every ybody pros pcred at home while the soldiers were fighting for one dollar day I said at that time, and l say now, that the fighting men did not get a square deal.
 "I have no doubt the president vetoed the bonus from sincere motives. There was no doubt as to where the majority of the republicans stood upon the question. The president, a man Of strictest honor. asked none that was pledge bound to stultify his integrity by departing from the
 
 honor that permits no deviation from the rule that men must keep faith. As for me. my vote for the soldier bill is faith kept. My pledges before election are my performances after election"
 Senator Capper's s'eXplanation as 10 why he voted for the bonus sounds much more impressive than the erst- while explanation of Senator Mclean, who claimed it as an expedlent to prevent the republican party from losing the forthcoming election and said he thought it more important to keep the party in power, with an as- sured high tariff, than 10 defeat the bonus and cause the party 10 go down in defeat, resulting in a loss of tariii protection for Connecticut industries.

:. c. Walton. running on an antiklan

Senator, was trailing his Republican
opponent Mrs. Miriam Ferguson. the
Democratic anti-klan candidate for
governor of Texas, was in the lead, but
Carlton B. McCulloch, Democratic can

spoken opponent of the khan, was run

Ed Jackson.
In Kansas, William Allen White, was
running for governor on an Independent
anti-klan platform, was third in his

Democratic and Republican nominees.
"a Governors Elected.
In all, "a States were electing gov
ernorS, but in most cases there were
local complicatio and cross-currentS
of political opinion, which led sophis-
ficated politicians to withhold pre-
dictions on the basis of the fragmen-
tary early returns.
Encouraged by the vote polled by
Senator La Toilette in the East, Chi
cago headquarters of the La Toilette
Wheeler movement announced that
their political organization would be
kept intact for another try in the
congressional elections of 1926 and
the presidential contest of 1928.
In some parts of the country the

VIRGINIA

RICHMOND, Va, November 4.-The
vote in Virginia shows that it re-
mains in the Democratic column by
majority exceeding $4,000. Early
reports indicate that Senator Glass
will have three to one over his two
opponents. The La Toilette vote is
falling far short of the strength eX-
pected in Virginia, but shows con-
clusively that much of it was taken
from the Democrats. In this city
many colored people voted for Davis
when they learned definitely that the
Klan was voting for Coolidge. The
size of the vote as indicated by the
returns SO far received is disappoint-
ing, as in Richmond before noon the
signs were that 10000 votes would
be cast, and it looks now as if 10000
will be the maximum. The next Vir-
ginia delegation in Congress will be
solid1y Democratic, according to all
reports, although it looks as if Peery
in the ninth viii have q reduced ma
Gority.

The balance of power in the SEN
Progressive group in the next Con-
gress, as it is held today, the returns
from the election indicate.
For the Republicans to win control
by the regular party members they
must gain at least five seats hither-
to held by the Democrats, and at the
same time not lose any seats.
For the Democrats to win control
Of the Senate they must win six seats
hitherto held by Republicans and
hold their own in other States.
From the solid" South the early
returns showed Democratic nominees
for the Senate either elected without
opposition or running far ahead of
their Republican opponents. Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Demo-
cratic keynoter at the New York con-
vention, and Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, Democratic leader of the
Senate, were among those returned
without opposition. Also Senators
Hef1in of Alabama and Ransdell of
Louisiana.
Couzens Runs Ahead.
Senator Couzens, Republican, was
running ahead by almost 3 to / in
the early returns from Michigan.
Speaker Gillette, the returns from
Massachusetts showed, was ahead of
Senator David I. Walsh, the Demo-
cratic incumbent.
The senatorial race in West Vir-
ginia between Col. Guy Goff, Republi-
can, and former Senator Chiffon,
Democrat. was shown to be close,
with Goff in the lead on early re-
turns. Out in. South Dakota, U. S.
Cherry, the Democratic nominee, and
Gov. McMaster, Republican, were run
ming neck and neck. The Democrats
have centered their efforts in that
State particularly on the senatorial
fight.

the Democratic nominee for the Sem
