PARTIES DISCOUNT
EARLY CONFIDENCE
Republicans Sure of Victory,
But Cut Down PrediC-
tions on Majority.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

All three parties have now settled
into the homestretch of the campaign
with fairly well rooted expectations
OF the result. These are not the eX-
pectations mimeographed for public
consumption and circulated for parti
san propaganda purposes. They are
the genuine calculations of the leaders
when they commune with their inner
selves. In nutshell, they can be
recorded as follows:
Republican: The election Of Cool
idge and Dawes on November 4, by
safe, but not overwhelming, majority
in the electoral college.
Democratic: The deadlocking of the
electoral college through Coolidge's
failure to obtain the 266 votes neces-
sary to a choice. and the resultant
throwing of the election into the
House. where Davis viii be chosen
by conservative coaliticn."
Progressive: 4 La Toilette land
slide" in the West and Northwest,
with enough electoral votes TO pre-
vent either Coolidge or Davis winning
in the electoral college. and with the
eventual dictatorship of the result in
Congress by the LA Toilette bloc"
Secs Sure Victory.
The principal change in the presi-
Dental situation during the past four
weeks has been the abandonment of
overconfidence and super-optirhsm by
the Republican management This
does not remotely suggest that it
fears Cooiidge's defeat on November
f. II believes the Presidents victory
to be certain. But Chairman Butler
has scrapped his pre-autumnal claim
OF 404 votes for Coolidge in the cleo
toral college. the total by which
Harding swept the country in 1920.
The plain truth is that the PreSi-
dents political leutenants-Butler
StearnS, Reynolds, Slemp, ct al--will
rejoice if they are assured on the
morning of November that Mr.
Coolidge has rolled up 2S7 votes
That is 81 more than he nee ds to win.
They rather think 2SI is his ire
ducible minimum. But they will be
satisfied if he captures 275. The lat
ter figure is based on the G. O. P.'s
Carrying New England Cminus Rhode
Island) New York, New Jersey, Cal
ifornia, Indiana, Nebraska Kansas,
practically all the middle central
States like Ohio, Michigan. Illinois
and Iowa. and smaller but debata BILE
territory like Oregon. Wyoming and
Utah. In short il Coo dye wins out
by a margin of 10 or dozen votes,

of course, counts on doing very much
better than that.
(:0clidge Is Confident.
The President himself, though the
least articulate member of his own
band. is the most serenely confident
one in il. 1t is he, not Chairman
Butler, who has decreed that there
shall be no Coolidge speechmaking

with Mr.. Haines as prosecutor-tn-
chief. He analyses the Presidents
role in the Boston police strike, his
career in Massachusetts, politics as
the pupil Of w. Murray Crane and his
IA months in the presidency. These
are some of the Haines thrusts. which
presently may echo from Democratic
hustings:
"Indecision is Calvin Coolidge's .
outstanding characteristic.
He says little, because he thinks
little and knows little.

stirred him to two listed fighting, and

These are harsh facts, but the
great calamity in a republic is for
the voters not to have the facts, upon
which to base their judgment. That
is why this is a Coolidge number OF
the Searchlight."

LAFOLLETTE A FACTOR.

Ir is true that LaFollette is
real factor in the campaign.
That is proved by the extent
of his following and none but
the fatuous will deny it. That
is why men are lining up for
or against him. He is to be
reckoned with, but not neces-
sarily as an unknown quaint
ty. Those who see danger in
