Example Is Cited.
What happened to the Harding

as an example. Harding came Id
on the crest of a great landslide,
too, but the bye election OF 1929
saw the overwhelming Republican
majorities wiped out and control Of
Congress placed in the hands of
the La Toilette insurgents.
No further reduction of income
taxes. along the lines of the origi-
nal Mellon plan, can be expected
from the lame duck Congress that
meets three weeks hence. Congress
defeated the Mellon plan once and
the influences that defeated it
once can do it again, the Progress

For the time being, 1t was said

enactment of the Mellon plan and
repeal of the publicity clause af-
fecting income taxes.
1t is altogether improbable that
either can be put through the
Eixty-eighth Congress.
Butler to Advise
The voice Of william NJ. Butler.
of Massachusetts, is expected to
play an important part in the
Presidents decision.
Buffers appointment to the
United States Senate to succeed
Henry Cabot Lodge is expected
within the next three weeks.
In the Senate, he is expected to
become the chief spokesman for
Mr.. Coolidge. the liason officer be-
tween the Senate and the White
House.
What Mark Hanna was to Nc
Kinley, Butler will be to Coolidge,
unless the political observers of
the Capitol are entirely wrong.
Their careers are astonishingly SIM
lar.
Hanna was chairman Of the Re-
publican national committee and
elected Mckinley. his fellow Ohioan.
Butler was chairman of the nation
al committee and elected Coolidge,
his fellow Bay Slater, Hanna was
conservative. a big business" man.
So is Butler.
Hanna was appointed to the
Senate by the Governor Of Ohio and
became McKinley's chief spokesman
in Congress.
The death Of Henry Cabot Lodge
conveniently affords the Governor
of Massachusetts, the opportunity
to perform similar act in tn
case of Butler. The political ii
between Coolidge, Butler and Cove
nor Cox Of Massachusetts are
peculiarly close.
History Is apparently about to re
peat itself.
