Today Some Politics. Voting for Mellon. Silk Stockings for the Workers. Champion Pig Litter. By ARTHUR BRISBANE \__/ John W. Davis believes that eight states will go to La Follette, and that he will get the south, of course, and the usual plurality in Tennessee. All politicians, if they tell what they really think, say that Davis’ remaining hope is to have the elec tion thrown into the house. It may go there. La Follette’s power and following are generally under estimated, in the east. Republican enthusiasts say that La Follette will carry only North Dakota and Wis consin. Others admit that he hSs a fairly good chance in at least four other states. Nine out of 10 well-informed politicians predict that Coolidge will be elected. And the bets of 6 to 1 that have been made on Cool idge indicate that there are facts back of the bets. Such odds are made, as a rule, only on reliable figures. , 1,— Uncle Joe Cannon says the na-' tion’s horse sense will re-elect Cool idge. Apart from his own satisfac tory “early American” character, the name of Secretary Mellon should get more votes for Coolidge among "horse sense” people than any other. If Coolidge is elected, Mellon presumably will remain as secretary of the treasury, and con tinue paying off the United States debt, retiring bonds, reducing taxes. * Mellon has given to the people the ability and earnest hard work of one of the ablest business men in*the United States. The people, if they can, ought to retain his services at least until he has paid off a few more of the billions of defct that our democratic friends, with the best of intentions prob ably, piled up so cheerfully in the war days. Many citizens, in voting for Cool idge for president, will realize with satisfaction that they are also vot ing for Mellon for secretary of the treasury. '.The “full dinner pail’’ is old fashioned. “The Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, ’ etc., say they don’t care so much about white collars for themselves, but they must have silk stockings for their wives. President E. R. Fitzgerald says that women feel inferior when not well dressed, and every working man's wife should have three pairs of^silk stockings a year. So she should, and the railroads will prob ably arrange it, rath Farnaif I Demand Genuine . .?COYS ._.Cod Liver Oil IS8SS5“1 tablets All Others Are Imitations I Drr,Ai CAirc .
