Due to the cIoseness Of the Sem

that an official check win be nee

to the strong Brookhart sentiment

FEW Of HIS.
MEASURES
LIKELY To
PASS
Lame Duck" Resentment at
Defeat seer1MeIIon. and
Hughes to Retain Posts
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
InternationaI News Service.

GGNNlGDa
In the wake Of an election which
has brought about a new align
ment in the reigning Republican
party and put Calvin Coolidge in
the White House for four years
by overwhelming popular mandate,
there followed today q train Of
discussion not alone among the
Presidents friends but among his
opponents as well as to the course
of action that will mark his poll
cies in the more or less difficult
months ahead.
Politics, so far as Mr.. Coolidge
is concerned, can now be put on
the shelf for a long time. He
need make no appointments to
office, nor take any executive ac-
ton, as Presidents sometimes
must, with an eye to the effect it
will have on his party's political
fortunes.
President In Own Right.
Mr.. Coolidge is now President In
his own right. and President no
longer by the hand of a whimsical
fate that removed his predecessor
from office.
In a similar situation, in 1904,
Theodore Roosevelt is said to have
remarked to Mrs. Roosevelt,
Madam, your husband is no longer
a political accident" And 10 some
friends, he is reported to have
said, Now watch me-" There fol.
lowed some sanguinary battles be-
tween T. r. and the Senate Old
Guard.
Extreme rectitude has thus far
marked Mr.. Coolidge's demeanor to-
ward Congress. He has, during his
year and a half, attempted no big
stick" methods.
One reason perhaps was that Re.
publican control of Congress was
only on paper. He pushed the
Mellon plan, he vetoed the bonus
and the postal pay increase bill,
but in so doing he did flight" Con-
gress in the sense that Roosevelt
did.
For the next three months, the
President will have to deal with
the same recalcitrant Congress
that has fought him and admins
tration policies generally through
out his tenure of office. Moreover,
1t is now "lame duck" Con
gress, and probably more recalci.
trant still.
Little Legislation Expected.
Little can be expected Of it ex.
cept the passage OF the usual
appropriation bills before it dies
naturally the fourth of March next.
The new Congress-, elected Tues.
day, Is somewhat better, but 1t is
question whether It will be more
amenable to White House influ-
ence than the outgoing one.
While the Republicans appear to
have made substantial gains, Mr..
Coolidge will still have to face mar.
row working majorities in both
houses. And in the. Senate par.
ticularly 1t is a question whether
the margin Of control viii not still
be vested in a combination Of
Democrats and those Of his own
political faith who do not agree
