BERLIN, Nov. 5.-American cleo
toral procedure and the names of the
candidates proved too much for Ger
many, and although the Germans pride
themselves on knowing something of
world politics, they became hopelessly
tangled in trying to interpret the results
of the presidential balloting.
Particularly confusing was the SINH
larity in German pronunciation OF
Dawes and Davis. One morning paper
appeared in Berlin with the information
that both Coolidge and Davis had been
elected and another gaily theorized on
what might happen if General Dawes
defeated his opponents for the presi-
dency.
The light of Brother Charley Bryan
is obsured by that of William j., even
in Europe. Brother Charley, whose
political contests never carried him out
side the state of Nebraska until weary
group of delegates selected him as the
rest Of the democratic ticket last June,
was freely described as the eternal can
didate." Such man would have no
chance against Coolidge or Dawes or
Davis, the editorial writer was con-
WINGED.
On election night John W. Davis went
to the villa of his FRIEND" La Toilette"
Il German paper informed its readers,
where these two close political allies
spent the long dark hours receiving re-
turns.
Governor-elect ma" Ferguson of
Texas wasn't Ma" at all in Germany.
Even the best German English diction-
aries do not explain that ina" is con-
traction of mother and therefore equiva-
lent to a diminutive of the German
"mutter."
When the cables told of "Ma" Fergu-
son running for high office the editors
concluded the word had been garbled
and an intelligent young German who
had spent some time in the United
States and knew of the American weak
ness for nicknames, concluded that the
ina" must mean MAC"

PEOPLE FLAY8D
Voted For Material Gain Instead Oh
Principles, Says Wheeler


WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Senator
Wheeler, of Montana, the Independent
vice presidential candidate, declared in
a statement today that the people had
voted for reactionary policies and for
what they believed would mean ma
terial gain for themselves" and that Tex
posture of corrution in Washington ap-
parently had made no impression upon
them"
His statement follows:
1.-THE progressives made a fight and
appealed to the ideals of the American
people, without money and without or
ganization, while the republicans had
money, organization, and appealed to
the pocketbooks of the people. The
progressives didn't lose. No one can
lose fighting for what is right. I am not
surprised at the outcome. The people
voted for reactionary policies and for
what they believed would mean material
gain to themselves. The exposure of
corruption here in Washington appar-
emily made no impression upon them.
1.-THE progressives. advocate and be-
Heve in the rule of the majority and the
majority has spoken in no unmistakable
terms. We all wish President Coolidge
and General Dawes a successful tenure
of office and it is the duty of the pro-
gressives to help make it such. 1 shall
endeavor to carry out the wishes of the
people as expressed at the polls.

The text of the senator's statement
follows:
"The election of Calvin Coolidge by

Coolidge And Davis Victors
Berlin Paper Tells Readers
Another Expected Dawes To Be President, But
Feared Eternal Candidate" Bryan

As a result, Germany knows that
Mac Ferguson has been elected governor
of Texas. The newspaper that made
the mistake doesn't suspect that Mac
Ferguson is woman.
The Vorwaerts, the organ of the
workers, has learned something of the
surprises that may be concealed in
American elections when Hughes was
enormously pronounced elected in 1916.
BE careful about accepting reports
of Coolidge's reelection" the paper
warned its readers. When a total of
800 electoral votes had been credited
to Coolidge the Vorwerts cautiously ad-
mitted that Coolidge apparently has
been elected after all"
