Tors to which about fifty sat down.
After the inner man was well salts
fed short business session was
carried through and following this an
hour of good fellowship was all
fine and the visitors from Osakis
were complimentary in generous
fashion. The visitors wanted to OBJ
serve the workings of a well organ
lied church board and to see how we
did things. The usual monthly bust
ness was put over with dispatch and
in good form. The treasurer's report
showed every bill paid to date with
nice cash balance on hand. They felt
that their visit would be profitable to
them and their church and they were
mighty glad they came if the night
was cold and stormy and SO were
we glad. Come again, Osakis.

vote of nearly three and one-half
times that of both his opponents.
President Coolidge had a majority
OF more than half a million votes in
Michigan when tabulation ceased
here early today. TaDulation of
2,412 OF the states 2.775 precincts
showed Coolidge, S11,0S6; Davis
129, 53S; La Toilette 106,S56.
Senator James Couzens was re-
turned to the United States senate
by majority almost as large. de-
feating Dean Mortimer E. Cooley
of the University of Michigan. Dem
ocrat. Governor Alex J. Groesbeck
ran slightly behind Inc President and
Senator Couzens, but still had almost
a three to one lead over his Demo-
crat opposition.
Michigan voted down three pro-
posed constitutional amendments by
decisive votes. The -parochial
school amendement was buried un-
der a two to one vote. A proposed
that wo.sid have impos-
ed a state income TAX received the
worst beating of all, with 2,233 pre-
cincts voting: Yes. 162,0l4; No,

CITY Vote COUNT OFFICIALLY MADE
BROOKHART LEADS

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. g.
Senator Smith w. Brookhart was
645 votes ahead of Daniel f. Steck,
his Democratic opponent in the SEN
atorial contest at noon today, when
score of Iowa county election
boards had rechecked the returns.
DIES MONIES. Iowa. Nov. (By
The Associated Press)-A partial
recheck on returns from the Iowa
cenatarial election at II a. M. to-
day showed Senator Smith w.
Brookhart to be leading his Demo :
cratic opponent. Daniel F. Steck. OF
Ottumwa, by slightly more than 500
votes. An error of 800 in Beuna
Vista county in favor of Brookhart
uncovered by County Auditor Kauff-
man, at Storm Lake was the biggest
factor in changing the standing.
Other additions were made to Brook
hart's half a dozen counties.
Another error, this one IN POLK
County, Des Moines, gave Brookhart
an additional 200 votes, bringing his
lead to 1853. The new, totals follow:
Brookhart 447,248, Steck 446,4S9.
The unofficial vote from all pre-
cincts gave: Brookhart 446, ,506:
Steck, 446.440.
While three missing precincts in
Lee county gave Steck a lead, re-
checked figures from other counties
allowed Brookhart to more than hold
his own over the figures reported on
2.340 precincts which gave him lead
of forty votes.

NOT TO "CLEAN HOUSE"

Long as He Wants to,
Hilker Says

NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. 6:-
County Treasurer f. William Hilker,
of Perth Amboy, whose election as
county clerk to succeed Bernard M.
Cannon, of Metuchen, was one of the
results of the vote on Tuesday, will
take charge of the new office on
either Saturday, November 15, or
Monday, November II, It was an
nounced by the county clerk-elect
this morning.
For fifteen years the county clerk
has been a Democrat and as a result
of a Republicans election the rumor
has spread about the county seat
that the Republicans will start
"housecleaning" Immediately in this
important Office. County Treasurer
Hilker, when questioner today about
the ousting of Democratic Office
holders. replied: There is nothing
farthest from my thoughts Just now.
The people must have service and
cannot give those who use my new
office the right kind of service by dis
organizing the force. 1 am not con-
templating grinding any pcl1tical axe
at this time in connection with TINS
Office. There are some who have
been there FOR fifteen or twenty
wears and are thoroughly acquainted
with the duties and all of the de-
tails"
county elect was asked. the reporter
referring to the deputy county clerk
who has spent more than fifty years
in the county clerks Office
bob Helm can stay in that ONCE
lust as long as he wants replied
Hilker. 4.
Now that Hilker has succeeded IN
being elected to the Office. for wnlch
he ran and was defeated by the pres
ent incumbent five years ago by
majority of about 500, the question
of selecting a successor for the posi-
ton of county treasurer arises. 1t Is
believed a New Brunswick man Will
be selected by the freeholder organ
ization for this job, although no
names have been advanced as yet.
The meeting Of the freeholders to-
day will likely be more OF 1ollifca-
tion as the two members whose
terms expire this year, Robert Van
denbergh and George Applegate'
were reelected by large maiorities,
County Treasurer Hilker landed
the county clerk job and Senator
Morgan F. Larson, the county en-
gineer, was reelected.
The complete figures from the
three counties in the third congress
sional district have assured I. FRANK
Appleby of a victory of Congressman
Elmer H. Geran by over 10000. The
successful Republican carried MID
dlesex county by about 5000; Mon
mouth county by 1897, and Ocean
county by 4,So4.

BUSINESS SEES CLEAR
SKY, MELLON DECLARES

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.-General
business sees a ''clear sky" in the
opinion of Secretary Mellon, who
now expects that doubts as to the fu-
ture will be removed and commerce
and industry will go ahead with a
program of expanding development.
The secretary it was said today at
the treasury. believes that Tuesday s
election has taken off brakes that
have held Lack business somewhat in
the last several months. He thinks
also. it was added. that the railroad
, managers will feel that they may lay
out programs for the next few years
with more confidence that moves in
imical to- them will not be made by
congress.
With the uncertainty of a possible
deadlock on the presidential vote re-
moved, 1T was said Mr.. Mellon sore
sass a generally healthy condition,
both at home and abroad. He traces
the Improvement in Europe to the
settlement of the reparations prob
lem through the Dawes agreement
and expects that better conditions
will result not only in the countries
Immediately affected by the settle
ment. but in the United States and in
other countries which have important
trade relations with those who have
signed the reparations settlement.
The treasury itself is preparing
now to round out it's suggestions to
the next congress on taxes, but these
recomm endations, it was stated, will
be largely a re-statement of the posi-
ton taken last fall. The proposals
will be made in the treasury's an
nual report and probably will include
iuggestions for certain tax "re-
orms" as well as references to
methods of dealing with the ques-
ion of tax exempt securities.

COOLIDGE HARD
At HIS WORK
Turns His Thoughts to Plans
for the Next Four
Years
Is WATCHING CONGRESS
Returns Tax Reduction Policy
Will Soon Be Made
Known, is Belief
WASHINGTON, Nov. with the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-With the
evidence of his popular endorsement
steadily increasing as election re-
turns continued to come in, Presi-
dent Coolidge turned his thoughts
today to plans for the next four
years, including the setting up of his
own administration and the framing
of a legislative program to be pre-
yented to congress.
In the latter connection, interest
lt the White House centered today
IN the results of the congressional
bontests. The present congress,
though nominally in control Of the
Republicans, has been dominated by
Ihe balance of power held by the
LaFollette group in both branches.
Because of this, 1t Is expected few
measures except the usual appropri-
alton bills and possibly farm relief
legislation will be presented by the
President to the final session of the
sixty-eighth congress, which begins
in December.
While Mr.. Coolidge has declared
Tor further tax reduction and tax
REFORM" it is the opinion Of those
close to Secretary Mellon 8pf the
Treasury Department and to the
President that such legislation will
not be pressed by the administration
at the short session. Nor will an
extra session be called after March
for this purpose alone, it Is be-
li0ved, unless clear working majori-
tbs in each branch of congress are
assured and other emergency legisla-
ton is deemed necessary.
Z Meanwhile Mr.. Coolidge will be
confronted with the problem of Sc
lecting a cabinet. 1t is thought like
ly that several of the present men,
bers will retire for personal reasons
to private life, and it Is understood
also that the President has in mind
some changes in the alignment.
though no wholesale transferring of
department heads is expected. No
outstanding changes, however, are
looked for prior to the Inauguration.
As on yesterday, it was business
as usual" today at the White House,
Mr.. Coolidge following his custom.
appeared early at tie executive
offices. giving his attention to gov
ernment affairs.
Immediate problems facing him
are the selection of the proposed
agricultural commission to investi-
gate farming conditions, the appoint
ment of a secretary of agriculture to
succeed the late Henry G.. Wallac
and a decision on the report of the
Tariff Commission on the sugar duty.

Great Triumph Assumes Even
Greater Magnitude Than
First Expected

NEW YORK. Nov. 6 (By The -
sociated Press) The Republican
triumph In Tuesdays election as
sumes even greater magnitude as the
counting of the ballots nears COM
pletion.
Overnight returns not only boosted
the total of electoral votes credited
to Coolidge and Dawes, but increased
the likelihood that the new admins
tration will have a dependable ma
jority of its own party in congress.
They likewise lifted to new heights
the vast Republican majorities in
several states already counted in the
Coolidge electoral column, and gave
indications of placing in that column
all of the electoral strength now
classified as doubtful.
The latest recruits to the already
crowded ranks of the Republican tri-
umphal procession are Montana and
votes in the electoral college. That
would increase the party total to 374,
or 108 more than is needed to elect.
For a time La Toilette threatened to
capture one or the other, but the fig
ures available today appeared to
make both safely republican.
The electoral bag of Davis and
Bryan remained meantime at 1856,
and apparently the only chance of
an increase was in New Mexico,
where the Democratic ticket was
holding the lead by only a scant
plurality. Coolidge was gaining at a
ratio which. If maintained. would
add the states three votes also to
the Republican total.
La Follette's last opportunity to
increase the electoral vote of thir-
teen given him by Wisconsin SEEM
ingly hinged on the returns from the
only other state remaining on the
doubtful list-North Dakota-with
five votes Coolidge remained In the
lead on the face of returns from
two-thirds of the state. but his plur-
ality was diminishing as mounting
La Toilette vote came In from the
country districts.
The congressional returns not only
indicated the defeat of two the pill
lars of the La Toilette senate bloc
Senators Bro ookhart of Iowa and Sem
ator Johnson of Minnesuta-but they
lifted the Republican majority in the
House to a point where it seemed
probable that the administration
would be able to outvote there any
combination of Democrats and La
Toilette insurgents. This 1t appeared
that the Wisconsin senator not only
had been held to a minimum of elec-
toral strength in his fight for the
presidency but also was in jeopardy
of losing the commanding position
he had held for the past two years
as leader of group holding the
balance of power in senate and
House.
Despite this situation. the leaders
of the La Toilette independent group
were planning today to keep a party
organization together for future
campaigns. at the same time that the
Democrats. buried under a second
Republican landslide in four years
were trying to dig their way out far
enough to take stock of the probable
consequences to their party.
John w. Davis. the defeated DEM
ocratic presidential nominee. will
talk over party reorganization plans
with National Chairman Shaver and
other Democratic chieftains at a
luncheon here tomorrow. but it Is
probable that some time will elapse
before there is a definite movement
to put the party into Running order
once more
