ZUlaiila ©ri-wttlcfo 3oum<u VOL. XXVII. NO. 13 Published Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday COOLIDGE EXPECTED TO ASSUME FIRMER GRIP ON CONGRESS Victor at Polls, He Will Not Repeat Errors of Pas ? sive Leadership BY DAVID LAWRENCE {Special Leased Wire ti> The Journal—Copy right, 1924.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 6—Calvin of the campaign, silent, cau tious disciple of the political faith which utters no superfluous word or undertakes no unnecessary task, and Calvin Coolidge of tomorrow, with f the barrier of a third term giving him the strength to be an independ eit executive, may develop the con trast which for many months his oosest friends have been privately predicting. There is no question but that the personality of Calvin Coolidge is to a large extent unknown. As gover nor of Massachusetts, he showed at times qualities of leadership which were not asserted in the past year here as president of the United States, especially in dealing with congress. The explanation usually made was that in a political year much must be forgiven which ordi r arily would not countenanced. Defeats in Congress f Enough of the president’s attitude toward public questions has been re vealed to show that he moves along conservative lines and that once he takes his position, he is not given to reversals or wavering. But in dealing with congress,, the president has not been particularly fortunate. His own leaders have not been able to work out a laison that was satis factory. Tiie fact that the balance of power was held by the La Follette Republicans in the two houses of •, congress has usually been accepted ‘ as an excuse for what happened, but those who follow the maneuvers of congress can not but concede that many of the advantages obtained by the radicals in the last session of congress were due to the mistakes in tactics by the cons irvaiive lead ers. With the house in control of the conservative Republicans, there will be a better opportunity for the ad ministration to get its legislation ' through than before. In the senate, aowever, the moderate progressives still can awing awav from the ad ministration. ihe senate will prove the stumbling block for manv pieces of legislation which should go through the house rather easily. The Fighting Conservatives , The psychological effects of the * president’s victory will be felt all along the line. The conservatives will dare to be bolder and the radi cals will not have the same aggres siveness as heretofore. The readi ness of conservative Republicans to bolt their own ticket and support a Democrat as they did in lowa in an effort to beat Senator Brookhart is almost the outstanding feature of the whole election result. Official returns may prove Brookhart the victor, but by such a narrow squeeze that he will be a sadder and wiser man when he enters the Republican cloakroom. In Minnesota, too, the downfall of Magnus Johnson is significant of conservative Republican tactics. There a regular Republican was nominated who was by no means as radical as Johnson, but who has been identified with the progressive group. It was a case of fighting fire with fire and though one wing of the Republican organization didn’t like the nomination of Thomas D. Schall, they did admit that Schall was a safer and more reasonable man to represent Republican voters than was Magnus Johnson. Schall is very friendly to the rail road brotherhoods and union labor > and can be expected to support the labor side of legislative issues. But, at that, the Republicans themselves put him up and while he won with the very support which ordinarily would go to a La Follette type of senator, he was given the whole hearted vote of the regular Repub licans. Schall, like others elected this time, will not be so much in clined to the radical or insurgent * side as to lose the support of the regular Republicans in his state. Men like Schall will follow Presi dent Coolidge on measures that are of national benefit, but Mr. Coolidge ■will find Schall, as well as others, inclined to join with the Democrats whenever any measure sectional in character is proposed. Unless the administration, for instance, takes » the iniative in a constructive pro ' (Continued on Page 10, Column 8) gram for agriculture, these western senators will be found reviving the farm bloc again. To Lead Congress Mr. Coolidge has not tried to drive congress. The development of new leaders in both houses of congress may make that unnecessary, but it is no reflection on the president’s careful policy of the past to say that congress will ask him more and more for guidance, especially in ad vance of the passage of legislation. For while technically speaking the I legislative and executive are two * ’ separate branches of the govern ment. they get along most effective ly when the leader of the party in the While House speaks his mind before his colleagues in the senate end house commit themselves to a course of action. There is little doubt that if Mr. Coolidge had sent a message threat ening to veto the soldier bill that It might have had harder sledding than it had when the measure * came up for re-passage. The execu tive also acted too late to prevent senators from lining up on the Jap anese issue. •‘We would stultify ourselves.” ■aid a New England senator the other day, "if we reversed our posi tion after a veto came to us. What we need is enlightenment ahead of time. before we have committed our selves.” Probably nobody realizes this par ticular phase of executive leadership more keenly now than the president himself. The effect of the election on Calvin Coolidge may be not imme diately apparent, but the develop t ment of a stronger executive may be « 5 • expected. WORLD NEWS TOLD IN BRIEF SANTA FE.- Governor J.

PMCMMITS Veteran Lawmaker Uncon scious After Suffering Stroke in Hospital CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 6. i The condition of Senator Henry Ca bot Lodge, who suffered a stroke yesterday at the Charleston hospital here, was declared in a bulletin is sued at the hospital shortly after nqon, to be “unchanged, and not i hopeful.” Senator Lodge was still uncon scious at the time the bulletin was issued, having remained in that con dition since he was stricken 24 hours before. The brief statement was signed by Drs. John 11. Cun- I ningham and Frederick H. Winslow, ; who have been in constant attend ! ance upon Senator Lodge since yes- I terday. j ■ Dr. Cunningham, earlier in the 1 day, said that the senator’s con i dition “must be considered critical.” I Dr. Cunningham’s statement re- I viewed the history of Senator Lodge's I case since July 27 when he sub mitted to an emergency operation from which he made good recovery. On October 20, a second operation was performed. "The senator s convalescence was surprisingly good,” Dr. Cunningham said. “He was out of bed on the third day and sat up daily thereaft er, reading and dictating letters, and .he indications were that he would leave the hospital next week with every assurance of being better in health than he had been for some time previous to the operation. There was every indication that he would be present at the opening of con gress, December 1. “Yesterday at noon he was sudden ly seized with a stroke and became unconscious. He has remained un conscious since and ’his condition must be considered critical.” Later Dr. Cunningham issued the following bulletin; “Senator Lodge’s condition con tinues exactly the same. He may continue in this condition for some time. It is impossible at the pres ent moment to state what the out come will ’be. “I anticipate no immediate change.” WHITE HOUSE CONCERNED OVER ILLNESS OF LODGE WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Great concern was exhibited at the White House today over the illness of Sen ator Lodge.

Sze Attacks Nations For Letting Chinese Obtain Opium Easily GENEVA, Nov. 6.—(By the Asso ciated Press.)—Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese minister to Washington, and his nation's delegate to the interna- I tional opium conference, enlivened today’s session by vigorous criticisms 1 of the opium policies of the great I powers which have far eastern pop | illations where opium smoking is I customary. Accusing these nations of making it too easy for the Chinese to ob tain opium, Mr. Sze alleged that the Portuguese colony of Macao thrived upon opium and gambling and de clared that if the French could not keep opium out of Indo-China, this proved the inefficiency of the French administration there. Answering these criticisms. Eng lish, French and Japanese delegates ' asserted that hte Chinese represen- I tative made his criticisms in order to forestall attacks on his own na , tion. U. S.

Mississippi: Fair and colder, Tennessee and Kentucky: Fair and colder, Port Bill Defeated In North Carolina, Morrison Concedes RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 6.—Gover nor Cameron Morrison late. Thurs day admitted that the port terminal department bill had been defeated. He said that although the race was close, he felt that the final count would disclose a small majority against it. Governor Morrison previously had refused to admit the possibility of the bill being beaten, although tabu lations of the vote showed a constant majority piling up against the meas ure. The vote tabulated at the time the governor issued his statement was from 724 of the 1,730 precincts in the state, several of them the of ficial vote, and showed 72.421 for the bill and 85,990 against it. ■M WILL DUN FDD SPEAKER TO SUCCEED GILLETT WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Repre sentative Martin B. Madden, Repub lican, of Illinois, announced today he would be a candidate for speaker of the house to succeed Frederick H. Gillett, who has been elected to the senate in Massachusetts. Mr. Madden is chairman of the house appropriations committee, and has been a member of congress for 20 years. He was placed in nomina tion as a candidate for speaker last session but declined to conduct an active campaign against Speaker Gillett. Friends of Representative Nich olas Longworth, of Ohio, Republican floor leader, have expressed the be lief that he also would enter the race, but there has been no state ment from him on the subject and no other member of the house, han announced his candidacy. Ability of the Republican organiza tion to control the new congress elected Tuesday appeared today to hinge on the outcome of senator contests in three states — Minnesota, New Mexico and Wyom ing. There was little doubt that it would have at least a bare working majority in the house over Demo crats and La Follette insurgents. If the Republican candidates for the senate in two of the three states still in doubt are victorious, and the vacancy in Connecticut is filled by a Republican, a coalition of Demo crats and consistent supporters of Senator La Follette would fall two short of a majority. In Minnsota ana Wyoming the Re publican nominees are leading on the face of incomplete returns as re ceived today, but in New Mexico Senator Bursum was trailing his Democrtaic opponent, Sam G. Brat ton. With the result in sixteen con gressional districts still in doubt the line-up of the new house, based on unofficial returns, was, Republican. 238; Democrtas, 177; setatered, 4. Os the missing districts, nine now are Democratic and seven are Republi can. but even should all of these seats he captured by the Democrats, the Republican organization still would have a majority of nineteen with which to offset defections in the La Follete bloc. This majority is a result of in roads the Republicans made on the Democi talc side. They recaptured twenty-three seats, while the Demo crats took only three p'aces from them. With the last doubtful dis trict in Pennsylvania finally swing ing in .<> the Republican -damn, the Democrias will be without represen tation in the delegation from that state, having lost the six seats they now hold. In lowa, Sentaor Brookhart, a La Follette supporter, defeated Dan iel F Steck, a Democrat, by 66 votes on the face of complete unofficial returns. This contest did net have any ef fect on the calculations as to a Re publican majority in the next senate as the organization had nothing to gain, irrespective of the final out come. Davis Will Return to Practice of Law After Mediterranean Cruise NEW YORK, Nov. 7—John W. Davis, defeated Democratic nominee for president, will return to the prac tice of law in New Y’ork after a holiday to be spent on a cruise in the Mediterranean, it was announced to day by his secretary. Mr. Davis will leave within a few days to visit his former home, Clarksburg, West Va. Mr. Davis spent yesterday at the New York home ot Frank L. Polk, former assistant secretary of state, and today at his home at Locust Valley, Long Island. Upon his nomination for president, Mr.. Davis resigned from the law firm of Stetson. Jennings, Russell and Davis, which he joined in lf2l on finishing his service as ambassa dor to Great Britain. At the same time he gave up directorships in sev eral corporations. Mrs. Harding Better Physician Announces MARION. 0., Nov. 6.—Mrs. War ren G. Harding's condition continues to improve, her physician. Dr. Carl W. Sawyer announced today. He is sued the following bulletin: “Mrs. Harding rested most of the night and is improved today.

MELLON EXPECTED TD STAY IT HEAD DF THE TREASURY Better Times Ahead, Secre tary Says Cabinet Re arrangement Rumored WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Presi dent Coolidge today designated John Hays Hammond to represent the government at the celebration of the centennial of the first meeting of the legislative council of the terri- ' tory of Florida, being held this month at Tallahassee. The appoint ment was made in accordance with \ a congressional resolution. In the discussion of cabinet changes it w»«< generally agreed by government officials today that Sec retary Mellon, who has been work- : ing on taxable questions, would be 1 content to remain at the head of | the treasury department if his serv ices are desired. Mr. Mellon declined to discuss the subject, saying he had given it no consideration. He added, however, > that he had not considered asking 1 the president to look elsewhere for > a head for the treasury department after next March 4. Secretary Predicts Boom General business sees a “clear i sky,” in the opinion of Secretary | Mellon, w’ho now expects that doubts as to the future will be removed and commerce and industry will go ahead with a program of expanding development. The secretary, it was said today; at the treasury, believes that Tues ' day’s election has taken off “brakes” that have held back business some- ( what in the last several months. He j thinks, also, it was added, that the railroad managers will feel that they maj’ lay out programs for the next few years with more confidence that moves inimical to them will not be made by congress. With the uncertainty of a possi-' ble deadlock on the presidential vote 1 removed, it was said, Mr.‘Mellon foresees a generally healthy condi tion both at home and abroad. He traces the improvement in Europe to the settlement of the reparations problem through the Dawes agree ment and expects that better condi tions will result not only in the countries immediately affected by the settlement, but in the United j States and in other countries which | have important trade relations with j those who have signed the repara tions settlement. The treasury itself is preparing now to round out its suggestions to the next congress on taxes, but these recommendations, it was said, will be largely a restatement of the' position taken last fall. The pro-i posals will be made in the treas-; ury’s annual report and probably! will include suggestions for certain | tax “reforms” as well as references to methods of dealing with the ques tion of tax-exempt securities. With the evidence of his popular in dorsement steadily increasing as election returns continued to come in, President Coolidge turned his thoughts today to plans for the nexti four years, including the setting up! of his own administration and the I framing of a legislative program to be presented to congress. In the latter connection, interest at the White House centered today ! on the results of the congressional contests. The present congress, I though nominally in control of the Republicans, has been dominated by I the balance of power held by the La Follette group in both branches. Be- ' cause of this, it is expected, few measures except the usual approp- I riation bills and possibly farm relief I legislation will be presented bv the president to the final session of the sixty-eighth congress which begins in December. Tax Reform to Wait While Mr. Coolidge has declared for further tax reduction and “tax ‘ reform” it is the opinion of those i close to Secretary Mellon, of the treasury department, and to the | president, that such legislation will i not be pressed by the administration I at the short session. Nor will an j extra session be called after March i 4 for this purpose alone, it is be- | lieved, unless clear working major!- | ties in each branch of congress are ! assured and other emergency legis lation is deemed necessary. Meanwhile, Mr. Coolidge will be confronted with the problem of se lecting a cabinet. It is thought like ly that several of the present mem bers will retire for personal reasons to private life, and it is understood also that the president has in mind some changes in the alignment, though no wholesale transferring of department heads is expected. No outstanding changes, however, are looked for prior to the inauguration. As on yesterday, it •was “business as usual” today at the White House. Mr. Coolidge, as customary, appear ed earlv at the executive offices, giving his attention to government affairs. Immeditae problems facing him are the selection of the proposed agricultural commission to irtvesti gate farming conditions, the appoint ment of a secretary of agriculture to succeed the late Henry C- Wallace I ami a decision on the report of the 1 tariff commission on the sugar duty. ' “Cascade” Distillery Burns m Tennessee NORMANDY, Tenn.. Nov. 7. —The famous Cascade distillery, founded a half century ago by Victor E.

BROOKHART LEADS IN IOWA BUT RAGE yet is most Complete Unofficial Returns Give lowa Senator Lead of Over 1,000 DES MOINES, Nov. 6. (By the Associated Press) —A complete check of unofficial returns on the United States senatorial contest in lowa showed that Senator S. W. Brook hart had a majority of 1,068 over his I Democratic opponent, Daniel F. I Steck, of Ottumwa. The vote: Brook-, hart, 447,524; Steck, 446,456. In a telephone message to the As i sociated Press, Senator Brookhart ! today said he expected the re-check ing of the counties to give him an advantage that might mount into the thousands. Counties he had heard from at Washington, his home, reported changes, he said, that indicated the errors uncovered were chiefly due to failure of the election judges to count straight Republican votes. Er ! roneous marking by voters who I wished to scratch their ballots also were believed bv the senator to have ■ confused the judges in some dis-. ! tricts, he said. Senator Brookhart late Wednes ! day had conceded the election of | Steck. It was considered certain that Steck would await an official count before conceding the election to Sen ator Brookhart. REPUBLICAN VICTORY GROWS AS COUNTING PROGRESSES NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—(By the Associated Press.) —The Republican , triumph in Tuesday’s election as sumes an even greater magnitude as the counting of the ballots neats completion. Overnight returns not only boosted the total of electoral votes credited to Coolidge and Dawes, but increased the likelihood that the new adminis tration will have' a dependable ma jority of its own party in congress. They likewise lifted to new heights the vast Republican majorities in several states already counted in the Coolidge electoral column and gave indications of depositing there all of the electoral strength now classified as doubtful. The latest triumphal procession are Montana and Nevada, having be tween them seven votes in the elec toral college. That would increase the party total to 374 or 108 more than is needed to elect. For a time La Follette had threatened to cap ture one or the other but the figures available today appear to make both safely Republican. New Mexico Doubtful The electoral bag of Davis and Bryan remained meantime at 136 and apparently the only chance of an increase was New Mexico, where the Democratic ticket was holding the lead by only a scant plurality. Coob idge was gaining at a ratio which, if maintained, would add the state’s three votes to the Republican total. La Follette’s last opportunity to increase the electoral vote of the thirteen given him by Wisconsin seemingly hinged on the returns from North Dakota, with five votes. Coolidge remained in the lead on the face of returns from two-thirds ot the state, but his plurality was di. minishing as a mounting La Follette vote came in from the country dis. tricts. The congressional returns lifted the Republican majority in the house to a point where it seemed probable that the administratioi; would be able to out-vote there any combination of Democrats and La Follette insurgents. Thus it ap. peared that the Wisconsin senatol had been held to a minimum of eleo toral strength in his fight for the presidency but was in jeopardy ot losing the commanding position he has held for the past two years as leader of a group holding the balance of power in senate and house. To Perpetuate Party Despite this situation, the leaders of th e La Follette group were plan ning today to keep a party organi zation together for the future and at the same time the Democrats, bur ied under a second Republican land slide in four years, were trying to dig their way out far enough to take stock of the probable consequences to their party. John W. Davis, the defeated Demo cratic presidential nominee, will talk over party reorganization plans with National Chairman Shaver and oth er chieftains at a lunch eon here but it is probable that some time will elapse before there is a def inite movement to put the party ma chinery into running order once more.
