late WESTERN VOTES
ADD TO COOuDGE'S
HUGE VICTORY
By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Calvin Coolidge and General
Charles c. Dawes have been swept into the Presidency
and Vice Presidency respectively, the crest of
Republican victory that is comparable only the Hard
ing Coolidge landslide of four years ago.
The only marked difference between the Republican
triumph of four years ago and today that in 1920 the
national ticket carried with overwhelming control
Of both Houses of Congress- while today it appeared the
Republicans will control the Honse only by very
row working majority, and in the Senate they will have
paper majority Of doubtful dependabiIity. The Pro-
gressves doubtless viii be able to block legislation, to
certain degree, in both houses of Congress-.
The La Toilette question mark which has perpexed
both Republican leaders, failed to be much Of question
mark after ALL This morning appeared the Wisconsin
nsurgent carried but State-hs He rolled up
substantial popular in many States but the of
these did not meet the expectations of his supporters
ELECTORAL VOTE is PUT AT 382.
With only few States still in doubt President Coolidge
seemed assured of in the electoral college in
of $50, against necessary figure of 266. 1t very
likely his electoral will reach 379.
On the basis of this hour, Coolidge carried
California, Colorado, Connecticut Delaware Idaho,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine Mary
land, Massachusetts,, Michigan Nebraska, New Hamp-
shire, Missouri New Jersey, New York, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oregon Pennsylvania, Rhode island South Dakota,
Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia. Wyoming.
These appeared to be certain and they provide cleo
toral vote of 357.
There doubt a. to Missouri and North
Dakota, but the Republicans claimed them and their
claims appeared to be warranted.

TACTICS
WIN
Meets Opponents Attempts at
Scare With One That
Works, Says Hard
By WILLIAM HARD.

The strangest, weirdest jiu-
jitsu political artist that ever ap.
peared in American..history seems
to have got himself safely and
even triumphantly back into the
White House.
He has gone with an apparently
clean sweep from the New Eng
land Atlantic coast to the waters
of the Mississippi across the
northern and central industrial
States and then he seems to have
gone across the Mississippi into
surprising victories between the
Mississippi and the Pacific.
The details will come dribbling
in during the next two days. The
main madeleine calcium-light fea-
ture of the results is the personal
victory by Calvin Coolidge.
His Strategy Succeeds.
1t is a victory by the Coolidge
personality and-more than that-it
- a victory by the Coolidge STRAIT
egg.
Political Washington today is
Analysing the results from the stand
point of what Coolidge has done
and of what Coolidge in the future
will do.
1t is clear that he will not have
q Senate that will fully meet his
wishes.
Some of President Coolidge's
friends have supposed that if he
got himself back into the White
House on his own account and
after a fight on his own person
atty and by his own strategy, he
would be able to dominate Con.
gress.
The results in the matter of the
Senate show that this is not going
to be so.
Results Are Negative.
The Senate will contain enough
Democrats and enough Republicans
unawed by Mr. Coolidge to- make
any dominance by him Of Congress
impossible and unthinkable.
The people in this election have
produced a total of results superbly
and supremacy negative.
Not wanting the ideas of tile radi-
Gals to go into final effect, they
have put Calvin Coolidge into the
White House, where he can veto,
all such ideas as fast as they come
along. o.
Apparently not wanting, on the
other hand, to allow even Calvin
Coolidge to produce any innovations
of even his own sort, they have
given him a Congress which, partic.
ularly by means of its Upper House,
will be thoroughly Obdurate and
resistant to his influence,
Congress, with it's Democrats and
it's non-administration Republicans,
may pass some moderately radical
legislation like the Howell BarkIey
bill for re.adjusting the relations be-
tween capital and labor along lines
desired by the railroad trade-unions.
Check Either Way.
President Coolidge may veto such
a bill: and il is extresOely UNLIKELY
that there will be in Congress two.
Thirds majority to override his
veto.
The result would be the produc-
ton of nothing.
Contrariwise, and yet similarly,
the President and his friends might
bring forward some new edition Of
the Mellon taxation reform plan
with its reduction Of the highest
surtaxes to % per cent.
The President and his friends
might bring forward this project:
but It is extremely unlikely that

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York, June 25.--The California
representative on the resolutions
committee will oppose any move
specifically to name the Ku Klux
Khan in the Democratic platform.
Without going through the for
mality Of caucusing on the subject
for fear of developing sectarian
discord in the delegation, the Cali
fornians have instructed David 8.
Ewing, their representative on the
resolutions committee, to favor only
q general denunciation Of unlawful
organizations
The McAdoo inner council is spend
ing every effort to keep the Cali
forria delegation harmonious and
to avoid any further internal dis
sension such as that which threat
ened to split the delegation over
the reelection Of Isidor Dockweiler,
OF Los Angeles, as national COM
mitteeman.
The friends of Governor AL Smith
are reported TO be using all possible
strategy to break down the morale
of the California delegation for the
effect this would have on de!egn-
tons which are wavering between
McAdoo and Smith.
Two of the foremost southern
California delegates who bolted the
meeting at which Dockweiler was
reelected, were called to McAdoo's
private suite today, 1t was learned,
and he Is said to have urged upon

make ready their tackle and their
nets. Yea, let them array them
selves as q fashion show and g
beauty chorus in one,
For 10, in this sea of delegates
and politicians and statesmen, the
fishing is exceedingly good, and
the fish are big and plentiful.
Behold, there VANDERBILT in oul
midst, all unprotected and unchap
eroned, the adonis Of the United
States Senate, even David Walsh
OF Massachusetts,, who still putteth
the studs in his own shirts, and
draweth his own bath water, and
cleaneth his own safety razor. And
what damsel would not take pity
on him-if he would but permit
her?
Big Catches UNLOCKED.
Likewise, there goeth amongst us
still unlocked, the big catch OF
California, James D. Phelan, who
hath nobody to share his morning
oranges, nor to help him admire
the California climate, nor to play
to him upon the ukelele, beneath
the California moon. And is this
not sad? Yea, exceedingly sad for
the unwed woman.
And 10, from Maryland, there
cometh one who hath fought long
and skilfully against the hook that
is baited with beauty-even the
handsome and gallant governor,
Albert Richie, for whom the signs
OF maidens can be heard to the
farthest corners Of Dixie.
Yet, surely the heart of south.
erner cannot always remain ada.
mant; and some day, out of sheer
courtesy he shall take unto himself
wife. For it is not polite of him
to remain a single footer in the
face Of SO much pulchritude.
Likewise, there is the dapper
Congressman from Michigan, Robert
Clancy, who hath no woman to
guide him, nor to fix his grapefruit,
nor to keep the buttons upon his
pajamas, nor to count his calories,
and find his golf shoes. And, what
damsel would not rejoice to be "the
only woman who understands" him.
His Days Seem Numbered.
And, there is the chic and allur-
ing Arthur O'Brien, the matrimonial
delegate from Illinois, who hath
thus far refrained from devoting
himself to one woman, in order that
he might scatter sweetness and
light amongst the many. But 10,
there is a strange twinkle in his
eye, and suspicious high polish
upon his boots. And perceive that
