THE ELECTION

Election returns are in and an analysis of the
results seems to bear out statements made before
November 2 that in virtually all of the states the
voting would be influenced by local rather than
national issues.
From a Republican standpoint the outstanding
losses in the senatorial contests were in New
York and Massachusetts, both of which states
ordinarily support the G. O.. P. in general cleo
tions. But even in those two commonwealth the
results were based largely upon issues which have
but little bearing on national affairs, although
one of them, that pertaining to enforcement Of
the prohibition amendment, promises to become
a national problem in the not distant future.
Virtually all of the other senatorial losses suf-
fered by the Republicans were in the so-called
border states, which are normally Democratic,
especially in off years, and as far as the senatorial
contests were concerned, there was a settling
down to normally after the Harding landslide of
six years ago which gave the Republicans a great
er number of senators than was expected.
In the Republican states of the Middle West and
the Northwest the G.. o. P. was generally success
full. One noteworthy feature of the Republican
victories in the West is that they were gained
mainly in agricultural regions. We had heard a
great deal about the plight of the western farmer
and how he was going to take out his spite on the
administration, but this reported discomfort did
not c~rystalize into Democratic votes.
From a Democratic standpoint the outstanding
feature was the Unexpectedly sweeping victory of
Governor AL Smith in New York-a victory which
carried a Democratic senatorship along with it.
Governor Smith is now the outstanding Demo-
cratic figure of the country, and looms larger as
a presidential possibility than he did in 1924.
Just what his candidacy means to the future of
the Democratic party only time can tell. There
is little doubt that while it may be greeted enthus-
ticaLly in the East, the South and West will treat
it coldly.
Outside of Smiths decisive success, there was
little in the recent election which seems to have
much bearing on the next presidential campaign.
From now on the political students in the Demo-
cratic party must watch out for the Smith
Special"

A Philadelphia clergyman said recently: "It
has been proved "a per cent Of the young people
of America are dishonest" He gave as authority
for this Indictment tests made by clerks in diff
ferent stores"
Sixty four per cent? Why not Il per cent?
The latter figure would be no more loose and
reckless than the former.
Many are basing appraisals of youth on ephem-
eral fashions and habits. Every age has its own.
Censors find confirmation in authors whose out
put deals with Flaming youth" any one of whose
typewriters, given a few of the obvious features
of present-day life-country clubs, Independent
dress, short hair, and motor cars-could today
almost do the job itself. But the picture is not
true. For every boy or girl whose exuberances
attract attention there are a dozen going their
ways with real purposes in life, with ambition,
with determination. They seldom figure, how
ever, in popular fiction, nor are they often themes
of utterances from pulpits.
Nine millions of women and girls are working
in this country; the great majority from necessity,
of course, but their ranks contain hundreds of
thousands who are working simply because they

MONTANA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Not only the music loving people of Montana,
but all those residents who are interested in the
establishment of cultural institutions in the
state, and in the advancement of society in all
possible ways, should support the effort being
made to found the Montana State Symphony
Orchestra within the borders of the common
wealth, and maintain it as an instrument for the
production of high class music for public enter
tainment. Most of the great cities and many of
the other states have symphony orchestras. The
symphony orchestra of Philadelphia is famous.
So is that of Boston, and W.. A. Clark. Jr.. is said
to have spent about five million dollars upon
that at Los Angeles and his plan to make the
city named a musical center.
The men who organized the Montana State
Symphony Orchestra, which gave one of its classic
concerts here lately, and who put it on tour and
kept it going this fall while it visited a score of
Montana's principal cities and towns, are animated
by high ideals, by a great love of the best music.
and by an aim that is intended to shed substantial
benefits upon the people of the state. It is q
task Of magnitude to create such a musical oroani-
zation, train it to present music from the produc-
tons OF the renowned composers and make such
a tour.
Professor Joseph Adam, the conductor, and his
associates should have every encouragement it
is possible for the public to give them. for they
are engaged in a public labor, and the one prac-
teal way is for every person in the state who
seeks its interests, or who appreciates good music,
to p~atronize the concerts and pledge himself or
herself to take a certain number Of tickets to the
concerts planned for the coming year. BY doing
that they will become members of the Montana
State Symphony Association. which is intended

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Notwith-
standing the desires and efforts Of
the politicians to make the congress
sional election national in scope, the
voters made their selection and cast
their ballot on local issues. From
Maine to California, from Kentucky
to Minnesota, every possible effort
was made to give a national tone 20
the proceedings. The personality and
character Of the president were in
troduced, and valiant efforts were
made to center the mass thought Of
the public on national issues. But
the voters continued "sot" in their
ways. They voted as they have al
ways voted on off-years, on the per-
sonal characteristics Of the candi-
dates and their personal reactions to-
ward those individuals.
In Massachusetts they. turned down
Butler, a business man, and voted for
David 1. Walsh, one of the few sur
viving relics Of the ~boy-orator period
of our American political life.
In New York they rejected Wads-
worth and elected Wagner on a Local
combination Of milk and booze.
In Missouri they rejected Will
liams, Republican, and elected Halves
because, to cite the defense of the
people who did it, "they thought
Halves was more of a good fellow

were the result of equally trivial agi

NATIONAL ESSAY CONTEST

School children of this locality should be inter

the best short essay on the American Constitu-
tion.
No conditions are attached to entrance into this
contest, and contestants need not be subscribers

One prize of $500 is offered for the best essay
submitted by a high school student, age taken
into consideration. Prizes are also offered each
teacher under whom a winning contestant is en-
rolled. An award will be made for the best essay
submitted in each state, and a trophy to one school
in each state.

value in a~rousing interest in and study of the
federal Constitution as a preparation for the
duties of citizenship. Full particulars may be OBJ

HOT SESSION LOOMS

AS q result Of the approval November 2 Of
Initiative, No. 80, which repeats Montana's liquor
laws, some lively scraps are in prospect for the
legislature which meets at Helena next January 1.
Already the "dries" are talking Of bringing pres
sure to bear in efforts to have the Legislature pass
liquor traffic control laws even more drastic, pos
sibly, than those repealed, while the "wets" are
busily counting noses to ascertain their strength
in the general assembly.
Undoubtedly the clash Of these conflicting IN
terests viii lead to bitter and lo~ng-drawn-out
fights on the floors of the house and senate. And
in the end these battles may force virtually every
member Of the general assembly to declare him
self either wet or dry contingency most

gram which originated with the Dem
Ocrats but which was also sustained
by some Republicans, was in the max
ing, to force an extra session and
thus compel new tax reductions.
Senator Swanson, Virginia, the
night before election, over the radio,
voiced this for the Democratic party,
and spoke of how the b~lack-hearted
Republicans could easily allow a e
emit tax reduction but were seeking to
delay this natural movement In order
that they might grant it in 1928, and
thus capitalize it for the benefit of
the Republican party. Certain other
Democrats who move in a slightly
less rarified atmosphere than Swan
son, have got to the point Of saying
that they intend to force the presi-
dents hand in this matter. They go
to the extent of demanding an extra
session Of congress, and have whis-
pe7ed if not openly declared that I'M
less he agrees to this extra session
for tax reduction, they will hold up
all appropriation bills.
A portion of the support Of the
scheme for tax reduction, comes from
the larger industries which are de-
handing a modification of the taxes
on corporations. They do not ap-
p~reciate it, but their very support Of
this scheme weakens it. The Repub-
lican party is responsible for tax re.
ductiOn so far, and any new reduc-
tons will come from the Republican
party; but the Republican party il

WASHINGTON, D. C-The cleo
ton result cannot be considered as
furnishing any Coolidge test Had
the political organizations succeeded
in attracting and holding the atten-
ton of the people to national issues,
the resulting election figures would
have had a certain element Of value,
and some definite conclusions might
have been drawn.
The present condition Of Republican
losses in the senate and house is the
result of the verdict of the people on
local issues. The ballots as cast do
not in any way indicate the attitude
of the people toward the president.
The Harding landslide of 1920 gave
the Republicans senatorial victories.
in states normally Democratic; the
victories the other day thus restored
the balance.
The Coolidge landslide of 1924-and
there were relatively few senatorial
elections at that time-gave the Re-
publicans am excess of seats in the
house. The last election, when ma
tional issues made relatively no inn
preston allowed a readjustment.
In ar Off-year election, apathy,
which apparently is it's inevitable ac-
compartment, works for the restora-
ton of average or normal conditions.
Thus in defeating Williams in Mis-
souri,, the voters Of that state were
following a custom which has pre-
vailed for many generations, namely,
that of going Republican in presiden-
tial elections and Democratic in off
elections. Senator Williams, Repub-
lican, was thus a victim of a rule of
averages.
The defeat Of Ernst, Republican.
in Kentucky, loses any political sig
nificance when it is remembered thai
Kentuckians for 80 years have not re
elected a sitting senator, Republican
or Democratic. Tt is said that Ollie
James might have broken this rule
but for the fact that he died in Of
flee during his first term, and thus
the tradition was put to a test

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Demo
cratic ~jubilation over the possibility
Of a hostile senate facing President
Coolidge, is interesting but not i'm
portant. President Coolidge seems to
thrive on hostile senates. They are
able to pinprick and annoy; they do
consume energy and require attention,
but on the WHOLE the president gem
orally gets what he wants. He got
q tax reduction according to his plans
and specifications; he secured the ap-
proval Of the debt programs which
he had worked out, and about the
only victories which the last senate
can claim are the delaying or reject
ing Of certain incidental presidential
appointments.
Looking back over the record the
Coolidge enthusiasm Of the senate
which adjourned in the early summer
was not noticeable, and the fact that
the Democr&ts in the last election
have increased their number viii not
upset the quiet man in the white
house on Pennsylvania avenue.
A hostile senate works under one
great handicap; the people have con-
fidence in the president and are u
little scary Of the upper chamber.
It is Of course wholly possible that
the senate may fulfill the words Of
the Honorable Pat Harrison Of Mis-
sissippis and raise hell" which was
one Of the promises he held out in
the event Of 9 Democratic victory,
but here again the people are apt to
have the last word; and the last word
