MR. COOLIDGE'S TRIUMPH. "

WHAT IT MEANS.

Full reports of the American election are not yet available, but we have now sufficient material for the formation of a fairly accurate judgment of the results. There is nothing of moment to add in explanation of Mr. Coolidge's personal triumph, but it is clear that the Davis and La Follette poils afford material for further exposition.

*

First, as regards the popular vote, Mr. Coolidge's poll was somewhat overstated in the first returns. The revised figures will probably show that his majority over Davis was not equal to that of Harding over Cox in 1920, but that, even so, it was a million or so more than that of his two opponents combined.

MR. DAVIS'S. JILURE.

Mr. Davis's failure to make any seri ous impression outside the South is not difficult to explain. As nominee of the Democratic party he was a last choice. There was no party consistency or leader- ship to

to back him up. Mr. Coolidge's principal opponent should have been decided Liberal, and certainly ought to have been free from Wall Street asso ciations. Mr. Dar's's close connection with the house of Morgan was a heary handicap. His ambassadorship in Eng land was a mark against him with the Irish and other racial groups,

His advocacy of the League of Nations, whether

good or not, was nullified by the party trick of remitting the question a referéndum in which po American to 4: could pretend to believe. He had de nounced the Ka Kluc

and this

meant that in States outside the Sonth where the Klan was an issue Davis was Last. In New York he was supported by Governor Al Smith, who though triumphant in his own State, is a figure

Кіал.. of challenge to the

Mr. Davis also was under suspicion from the Drys. They feared that a Democratic Admin. istration might be "wet." Marcover, Mr. Davis was linked with W. J. Bryan's brother Charles as candidate for the Vice Presidency, and the Bryan family is fatal to the Democratic party.

THE PEOGRESSIVE VOTE

de

"The La Follette vote is full of interest. It is said that the Progressives were ex- pecting ten millions. That was obviously absurd. They have no reason to be greatly dissatisfied with their actual poll, which Heems

to be nearly five millions- that is, more than half the vote of the Democratic candidate who bed furris and a strong national machine. The La Follette funds were trivial; there was and could be no national organisation. The La Follette forces were

up of senttered groups and individual voters leroted to the candidate and full of enthusiasm. Al things considered. the most serious political fact of the car paigr is the size of the Progressive vote relation to that of the Democrats. It foreshadows a crisis in the Democratic party, a crisis which cannot be delayed the Progressives take the resulta of last week as sufficient encouragement for the definite formation of a national Pro- gressive party,

111

That decision, it may be assumed, will depend mainly upon two things: the attitude of organised labour and the at-· titude of agrarian Badicals, so called, in the West. La Follette must be dis- appointed by the Labour vote.

Plainly enough, it went in masses to Mr. had Coolidge The farmers, no doubt, been infuenced by the artificial post har- vest conditions. But the

Coolidge second term is to be marked by a continuance of the high-taria regime. That inevitably, means a clash between the industrial East and the agricultural West, and bence a stimulus to the Progressive

cause.

THE KLAN'S VICTORIES.

The electioa in general was a rush to safety, and the Ku Klux Klan is a part of that rush. The Klan was less widely evident as a political force than the fore- casts bad implied, but the reason for that, undoubtedly, is that the strength of the Coolidge army blotted out the Kin display. Here, however, is the sinister fact. In Indiana, Kansas. Colorado, and Oklahoma, to name only the more con spicuous exemples, the fight was between hlan and Anti-Klan, and the Klan was victorious President Coolidge, declin. ing to name the Klan for censure, be came by force of circumstances the lan candidate. "His second term of office will contain no more momentous question for } settlement than this, whether conserva tive government in America is to involve the elimination or the establishment vi this American form of Fascism.- Manchester Guardias.

The Day of the Knight is Here !

IT IS THE

WILLYS KNIGHT

Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.

#

It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of any nar

- in the market.

L-The Willys-Knight car, is the four cylinder motored car that makes the six

'unnecessary.

The Knight motor is steam pritsipla. The valvos my two cylindrical alcoves with rectangular slots. br porta which whom they register with each other and the perts in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gas without abetruction. These wide open paasagon, particularly on the exhaust side, permit a more thorough deaning of the burnt gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of mator, so that every ounce of energy available is

tilized from the expkisive mirture, which gives us such tremendous power

2-ft has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean.

The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and so allay piston noted for its great hea radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gate hot enough to bake the residue from the exposed gasen to form carbon while there is still enough heat maintained to handle the explosive mixture effectively.

L-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.

While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a pertain amount of the residue from the but gases works up behind the wide sealing ring in the cylinder head and as this buikling in process obtains, it-icoøjpa pushing this sealing ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it completely seals the compression chamber developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn.

-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears ont.

All parts in the Willys-Knight car are asembled with wide clearance between each other and oil is forced into these clearances under heavy pressurs so that the entire assembly is lapping or wiring in on these heavy films of ail instead of wearing ont. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing instead of a metal to metal bearing which is socossary in the construction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep it quiet with subsequent quick

wear and ncies.

It has eliminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parta necessary in the operation of a cylindared poppet valve moter. There are no hammering parts such as came striking against push rods, push rods against valve stemu, oz valve heada suapping back into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, sis.
