COOLIDGE VICTORY IN NORTH DAKOTA PRESIDENTIAL
BRINGS EDITORIAL COMMENT IN MANY NEWSPA PERS

returns foretoken regarding the
Cleveland convention these frierds
have reason for satisfaction. The
poor showing made by Senate Hiram
Johnson in that state is about the
best clue of the year thus far that
the Californian will cut very little
! figure in the convention against the
| President.
Senator Johnson has been able for
q long time to count as his ardent
| political friends thousands Of the
voters of North Dakota There is
much in the man and his political
philosophy that appeals to l.ige
! group Of the North Dakota cicctOr-
| ate, but the returns of the primary
| election last Tuesday indicate that
| first place in the esteem of the in
surgent voters belongs to Senator La
Toilette.
This statement would still hold
good if the final and complete returns
should show Johnson running some
what ahead Of La Toilette. 1t is well
to remember that Johnson's name was
regularly on the Republican primary
ticket, while that of LaFollettc was
not. Friends of the Wisconsin man,
despite his expressed preference to
stay out of the race, conducted q
"stickcr" campaign for him. That is
to say, they sent out to voters slips
of paper bearing the name of LaFol-
lctte, with the request that these
slips be pasted on the ballots. cast. 1t
will be readily admitted that a Ian
Of this kind is a handicap on any can
didate intended to be the beneficiary,
but in spite Of this handicap the La
Toilette partisans gave the johnson
adherentS something more than 4 run
for their money.
Incomplete returns indicate that
President Coolidge will have com
Portable plurality over Johnson and
over LaFOllette, but these returns
also indicate that the sum of the
Johnson and LaFollcttc votes vii. be
considerably larger than the Coolidge
vote, Putting it another way, Cool
idge stands to have the North Dakota
delegation in the Cleveland conven-
tiOH, bul II upcS HOl loiloW HcCcSSuIl-
ly that all Will go well with his cause
in that state in November, and yet,
If there should be three major can
didates before the people in NOvcm-
bcr-Republican, Democratic and
Farmer La bor-there is reason for
saying he would profit by the three
way split in the vote, just as he has
profited by the thrce-way vote in the
Republican primary. A thing that
wcakens this expectation is that the
Democratic party hasn't been a virile
organization in North Dakota for
some years.
Obviously, the thing for the Reprb-
lican party leaders to do is to coisid-
er that there is n great deal of ed
ucatve work to do in North Dakota
if President Coolidge-assumin he
is to be the Republican nominees
to be enabled to carry the state next
autumn. They can do nothing less
than think of it rs debatable ground,
and act accordingly.

COOLIDGE GETS NORTH DAKOTA
(Dulutb Hprald) U.s..

The delegation from North Dakota
will vote for President Coolidge in
the Republican national convention.
That is the point of main interest
in the result of the North Dakota
presidential primary.
1t is true that the president has a
plurality, not majority; but Il plur-
atty fixes the delegation as surely
as a majority.
1t is true that supporters of Hiram
Johnson and LaFollette are quarrel
ing about the votes that didn't go to
Mr.. Coolidge, but that is not parti-
cularly important The Johnson
supporters contend that if LaFol-
lette hadn't been in the field their
man would have won. The LaFollette
contingent points out that their man
got more votes than Johnson even
thought he wasn't OH the ballot and
had to be voted for with stickers.
But Mr.. Coolidge gets the dele
gates.
The rest is mere speculation.
When it comes to. speculation, it is
clear that LaFollette, running on {
third ticket, will have to be reckonet
with in North Dakota. When he car
run second on stickers, as he does OF
the incomplete returns in hand a
this writing, he is a formidable fig
ure there.
Whether Johnson could have taker
over the LaFollette vote if LaF Gillette
name had been kept out is a question
If he could, he would have won tn,
delegates. But he didn't. And it j!
much more likely, since LaFollette il
clearly more to the taste of radica
voters than Johnson, that if all three
names had been on the ballot LaFol
lette's lead over Johnson should hav'
been much greater.
