By Majority of 1,000
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 6.—(By
the Associated Press.) —The voters
of “Bloody Breathitt” county, as it
is known in Kentucky, are fairly
evenly divided in political sentiment.
Nearly complete returns today from 1
Breathitt county in Tuesday's elec- '
lion showed exactly the same totals ;
for each Republican candidate, presi j
dential, senatorial and congressional,
and likewise for the Democratic can

entage of the Cox vote of four years I
ago stayed at home. Three years ago t
in a gubernatorial election Clay
Hole precinct, in Breathitt county,
I was the scene of a Republican-Dem
ocratic election fight in which four
men were killed and seventeen
wounded. Testimony at the trial of
the participants indicated Republic
ans had endeavored to influence
voters in a normally Democratic pre
cinct and the Democrats expressed
the strength of their convictions with
pistols.

MACON, Ga., Nov. 7. —Physicians,
mind specialists and psychologists
are seeking a clue to the identity of
a young woman patient at the city
clinic who is reported to be suffer
ing from amnesia, utterly unable to
recall who and what she is. *
The young woman is said to have
walked into a local pharmacy Wed
nesday evening and asked to have a
doctor called. When the girl was
taken to the hospital she told exam
iners that she remembers nothing
lof her past, who she is or just when I

The strange patient, assert the ,

is thoroughly aware of but the one
fact that she does not know who she
is, and she has given every aid »to
the doctors in their efforts to re
awaken some recollection of where
and who she had been prior to the
moment of walking into the drug
store.

MARGINS FOR OAVIS
AMENDMENTS
INCREASE IN STATE
(By the Associated Press.)
The landslide with wjiich John W.
Davis swept Georgia in Tuesday’s
general election and the majorities by
which the eight constitutional amend
ments were ratified were materially
increased when additional returns
coming in Wednesday practically
completed the tabulation of the state.
The electors also re-elected Gover
nor Clifford Walker, Democrat, over
11. B. Baylor, independent, by a large
vote and sent United States Senator
William J. Harris, unopposed, back
to his post in Washington. Twelve
Democratic congressmen were elect
ed. Only two of these were op
posed and they easily defeated their
opponents.
Returns from 1,627 precincts of a
total of approximately 1,735 in the
state gave Davis 111,430 votes, as
compared with 27,751 for Coolidge,
Republican; 10,362 for La Follette,
independent; 92 for Nations, Amer
ican, and 127 for Faris, prohibition
ist.
These returns included official con
solidations of many counties. Cool
idge had only three Georgia counties
in his column, while La Follette had
none, on the face of these returns.
Pickens, Haralson and ! Gilmer
which normally poll a large Repub
lican vote, were the counties.
Governor Race One-sided
In the governor’s race, returns
from 1,424 precincts showed Gover
nor Walker bad 117,932 votes, while
Baylor had 4,091.
These same 1,424 precincts gave
the amendment to create the county
of Peach 63,350 votes for and 25,522
against. The amendment to provide
for biennial sessions of the legisla
ture, instead of annual meetings as
at present, received 66,400 favorable
ballots to 15,230 unfavorable.
In 1,495 precincts, the Brunswick
bonds amendment got 62,834 for ano
13,350 against. The same precincts
gave the manufacturers’ tax exemp
tion measure 58,829 votes for and
20,255 against. The tax collector-re
ceiver consolidation amendment reg
istered 58,560 favorable ballots to
22,942.
T h e city-county government
amendment registered in 1,466 pre-
I cincts, 54,333 favorable votes to 17,-
783 negative ballots. The coastal
I paving amendment scored 58,873
votes for to 14,577 against in the
i same number of precincts. The JSa-
I vannah bond measure got 60,427
affirmative votes and 13,121 unfavor
able ballots.
State Senate Races
In the two races for the state senate,
S. C. Boykin, Democrat appeared to
have won ;n the Thirty-seventh dis
trict, while E. C. Wellborn, Demo
crat, had a good lead in the Fortieth.
In Union county, the Democratic
candidate was the victor in the race
for the state legislature. J. E. Bar
nard, Republican, defeated Ed Ken
dall, Democrat, in Towns county for
the house. All three Democratic can
didates for the legislature won in
Chatham county.
James M. Cox, Democratic presi
dential nominee in 1920, received
107,162 votes in Georgia. Davis al
ready has exceeded his total, on the
f<*ce of incomplete returns, while
Coolidge is running far behind Hard
ing, who got 43,720 Georgia votes
four years ago. The three counties
carried by the Republicans, accord
ing to present returns, also fall short
of the nineteen carried bv Harding
in 1920.

PROHIBITION AGENT
EXONERATED; CHIEF
WITNESS IS HELD
i After a hearing Thursday after
noon before United States Commis
sioner Joe Abbott, a warrant charg
ing acceptance of a bribe, issuea
against C. C. Coyle, a federal pro
hibition agent and former secretary
of the state Republican central com
mittee, was dismissed and a war
rant charging perjury was sworn out
against John Henry Hardin, the prin
cipal witness and a picturesque resi
dent of Cherokee county, who is gen
erally known to prohibition agents
as “the king of the moonshiners.”
Hardin was placed under arrest as
lio left the courtroom and later was '
released on $l,0t)0 bond. He will be I
given a hearing before Commissioner '
Abbott on November 15.
Charges against Agent Coyle were
■dismissed after Hardin, the only wit
| ness to take the stand, testified that
Ihe had given the prohibition agent
money, but had done so in an ef
fort to spur Agent Coyle to greater
activity in cleaning up illicit stills in |
Cherokee county.
“I told Coyle,” Hat din said, “that
I wanted to see illicit stilling wiped
out in my county, and I told him
II would pay him a premium on every
still he destroyed.”
At this stage, District. Attorney
Clint W. Hager told the court he was
unable to get at the facts in the case, [
and asked the commissioner for au
thority to cross-examine the witness
by asking leading questions. The
commissioner granted the request,
and the district attorney asked sev
eral leading questions.
The attorney then asserted: “I be
lieve tho witness is lying, your hon
or,” and followed that, statement
with a. motion that the warrant
against Agent Coyle be dismissed.
Commissioner Abbott, in dismiss
ing the warrant, agreed with the
district attorney, stating: “I think
you are right, Mr. Hager. I think
the witness is lying, and see no rea-
I son why action should not be taken
against him.”
The hearing had been held in the 1
circuit court room, and immediately I
deputy marshals took Hardin in cus-1
today and escorted him to the com
missioner’s office, where George E.
I Golding, special intelligence agent
I of the treasury, swort out the war-
■ rant charging perjury. Mr. Golding
several days ago swore out the war
rant against Agent Coyle, who was
arrested at Marietta, his headquar
ters, shortly after he was alleged to I
have accepted S2O from Hardin.
The warrant against Hardin speci
fied that the testimony whic'a he
gave at the hearing did not tally with
I that contained in an affidavit which
he made to Golding shortly after
Coyle’s arrest. Details of the testi
mony contained in the affidavit were
not divulged.
Recently, Hardin completed a term
lat the United States penitentiary
j here, imposed in connection with a
| bribery case of several years ago, in
volving a revenue agent, resulting
after Hardin is alleged to have been
I trapped through the use of a dicta

ENGLAND SEES NEW
SYMBOLOFSAFETY
IN 0. S. ELECTIONS
LONDON, Nov. 6. —(By the Asso
ciated Press.) —The outstanding point
in the majority of the London news
paper comments on the American
election is that it emphasizes the
prevailing desire of the democracies
of the world for a period of quiet,
stable government, and that the
people of America are, no more than
those of Great Britain, in a mood for
the experiments of progressivism.
The conservative Daily Telegraph
regards the outcome “as a much
more amazing triumph than that of
the Conservative party in Great 1
Britain. The general desire for con- |
tinuity and stability in national ad- ;
ministration, it adds, has been more ■
than commonly strong.
Anticipating that the policy of the I
last four years will be continued and '
that America’s adherence to the |
League of Nations still is out of the
question, the Telegraph says li. :t, I
nevertheless “the reality of. the Re
publican government’s desire to see
effective American co-operation in
the world’s work of recovery from j
the war receives a new demonstra-1
tion from the election of General'
Dawes as vice president.” ,
Britain Pleased
“In this country,” it goes on,
“there is nothing but sincere grati
fication that a period of serious po
litical difficulty has been avoided
in the United States and the best of
ali governments, a government back
ed by a popular majority secured.”
The independent Daily Mail sees
in the result, “yet another sign that
socialism, far from being a rising
tide, is a spent wave. The utter
rout which has overtaken La Follette
speaks as well for the soundness
of the people of the United States as
the complete defeat -of the socialists
here does Ifor the political health of
Great Britain.”
The conservative Post says: “The
American people clearly are in no
mood for revolutionary economic
changes. The supreme service which
the United States has rendered to
a world tossed hither and thither
by the tempests of doubt and dar
ing changes has been its steadfast
reliance on tradition, its proud al
legiance to its plighted word and its
detestation of anarchy and violence.
“The United States is one of the
great bulwarks which has manfully
withstood the bolshevist storm, and
any decision which reveals the steadi
ness of American public opinion is
bound to be welcome with relief by
the civilized world.”
Warning to Moscow
The paper declares that America
and Great Britain through the voices
of their electorates “have sent a
message of good cheer to Europe and
a warning to Moscow, which must
sound, to its conspirators, a note like
the trump of doom.”
The independent Express, remark
ing on Pesident Coolidge’s cold and
impartial attitude towards the politi
cal problems of the outside world”
adds: “It remains to be seen whether
he will not find himself forced by the
pressure of circumstances to relax
his austere indifference towards Eu
ropean difficulties.”
The Express regards the outcome
of the election as foreshadowing “a
new and more serious era in Ameri
can polities.”
“There was one broad issue before
the people,” says the Times. “They
were asked to say whether the dis
satisfaction with the actual political
system and the actual conditions of
society was wide enough and strong
enough to furnish material for a new
party aiming at fundamental
changes.
“They answered with an emphatic
and decisive negative.
“Mr. Coolidge said in his speech of
acceptance of the nomination that
common sense was America’s great
est asset. It has just saved her
from all possibility of dangerous ad
ventures and experiments for many
years to come.”
The liberal Daily News is surpris
ed at the completeness of the Repub
lican triumph, which, it says. “Taken
in conjunction with the British elec
tions seems to indicate that the great
established Democracies of the world
are in the mood, if not to stand at
ease, to mark time.”
FRANCE SEES LITTLE All)
FROM ELECTION RESULT
PARIS, Nov. 6. —(By the Associat
ed Press.) —The Paris morning news-)
papers today give exceptional prom-1
inence to the American election, |
printing columns of matter includ-j
ing biographies and pictures of the;
principal personage involved and ex
planations of the American electoral!
system.
Tnose with the largest circulation, |
mostly conservative organs, are di
vided between joy over the “con- j
servative ’ victory and regret that it I
will not help France in her difficul-l
ties. .
“Pertinax” political editor of the |
Echo De Paris, viewing the situation
from its widest angle, declares the
Republican landslide was even great
er than that achieved by the con
servatives in Great Britain. First
of all, he says, it shows that ideolog
ical governments with a taste for an
adventurous foreign policy are dis
favored and it is to be foreseen that
the results in Great Britain and the I
United Stales will have their effect
in Italy, Spain and Belgium.
Secondly, he continues, England
more than ever will tend to co-ordi
nate her action with America, which
he believes will involve collapse of
the Geneva protocol on arbitration
and security, the assembling of an
other disarmament conference and a
moderate but strict settlement of
the inter-allied debts.
Le Journal says the same things in
other words.
L’Oeuvre, supporter of Premier
Herriot, remarks that “there is noth
ing changed in America. It analyzes
President Coolidge’s ideas, giving
quotations from various of his
