“Business as Usual” at White
House; Davis Transmits
Congratulations.
By H. K. REYNOLDS,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
Washington. Nov. 5.—The Stars
and Stripes atop the White House
snapped out a little ntoie defiantly in
the morning bi*eeze today.
And that was the only outward in
dication that the American people
had accorded to Calvin Coolidge a
lease on the premises at No. 1600
Pennsylvania ayenue for a full term
of four years, and placed in his hands
their national destiny.
Tlie prograin at the White House
today was “business as usual.”
When returns early today Indicated
a Co'olidge-Dawes victory with a sub
stantial majority in the electoral col
lege, the little foursome which had
sat together in the president’s study
during the evening broke up. In tlie
party were the president and Mrs.
Coolidge and Mr. and Mrs. Frank W.
Stearns of Boston. It was Stearns
who discovered Calvin Coolidge and
who has been steadily directing him
towards today’s goal—election to the
presidency.
Coolidge Calm.
Among those who waited at the
White House for the returns, none
was more calm than the president.
The president went to bed at 1
this morning and was up again seven
hours later. Breakfast at the White
House shortly after 8, and then Mr.
Coolidge took his usual early morn
ing walk through the grounds of the
executive mansion, returning to his
study to go over the later returns
from the western states.
Among the first callers to offer
their congratulations upon the presi
dent’s victory were Attorney General
Stone. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur
and Acting Secretary of Agriculture
Gore.
Thousands of congratulatory tele
grams poured In to the White House,
two special telegraph wires being re
quired to transmit them.
Telegram From Davis.
A telegram from John W. Davis,
the democratic nominee, congratu
lating the president on his election,
reached the White House shortly
after 11 o'clock. Mr. Coolidge im
mediately dispatched a reply.
Davis said:
"Permit me to congratulate you
on your sweeping victory and to ex
press the hope that your administra
tion may by its success enure to the
welfare of the country.”
In reply President Coolidge said:
“Please accept my thanks for your
message and my appreciation of the
patriotic sentiments you express.”

Look Forward to Future With
Confidence in Era of Pros

Settled.
Merchants Preparing
All aboard for bigger and better
business, with the hope of a new
prosperity just around the comer.
That is a slightly paraphrased
form of expression by Omaha busi
ness leaders after the national quad
rennial election is out of the way and
the uncertainties which the situation
brought forth, have been disposed of.
"Back to business with renewed
confidence,” is the slogan of the
hour.
Omaha joined hands with the na
jtion in registering a substantial en
[ dorsement of the sound business
policies of Coolidge and Dawes. Oma
hans have confidence that under the
leadership of Coolidge and Dawes
this city will share in the business
recovery which the election has set
in motion.
Xew Development Kra.
It Is the consensus of im^Jun
among business men that Omaha is
entering upon a new era of its de
velopment, and that forward-looking
men and women will stand firm in
promoting the best interests of the
city.
Among the comments expressed on
Wednesday there were words of com
mendation for the part which The
Omaha Bee took In supporting the
program of advancement and con
struction!
John I,. 'Webster said he felt there
was a spirit of public confidence in
the air. a renewed confidence, and a
feeling that business is going ahead
with increased Interest and hope.
"The uncertainty of political con
ditions.. was evident and affected gen
eral conditions; We understand quite
well that President Coolidge is in
favor of a straightforward, honest,
substantial business government,"
said. "This Immense vote for Presi
dent Coolidge is a manifestation that
the people have confidence in him
and that the general welfare of the
country will be well protected during
his administration.”
High Hopes For Future.
Charles Harding of the Harding
Cream company expressed that
thought that Omaha is going ahead
into a new era of prosperity. The
reticence due to uncertain conditions,
he said, has been dispelled. "We are
going ahead with renewed con
fidence," he said.
Oene Eppley of Hotel Fontenelle
asserted that there is more fact than
fiction in the statement that Omaha
is now presenting a solid front and
is looking into the future ith high
hopes. “We are all participating in a
general feeling of confidence and
optimism ns to the future," Mr. Ep
pley said. “Everyone I have met has
been humming the same tune and
using the same words to the tune
and this refers to Omaha's new era
of prosperity.”
“You can notice a better spirit now
in Omaha.” said Frank Myers of
Myers Brokerage company. “We are
all looking forward to a bright fu
ture. There is a sort of settled feel
ing which we did not have before the
election. Omaha is going right for
ward. The new spirit is in the air.”
Omaha Bee Praised.
Oeorge Wood offered this comment
while he was getting ready to make
a train: "You may say for mo that
The Omaha Bee is entitled to a won
derful amount of credit. We are all
going to. go? together and make Oma
ha better and bigger than ever. We
already have one of the best cities
of its size in the world. We will not
be satisfied Itli anything short of the
bpst in business nnd In our cultural
welfare. Tt Is now a forward move
ment with all working together for
the welfare of Omaha.”
■ "I think 1 feel like nearly every
one else at this time,” said Charles
Harding. “There is no question that
business is going to go ahead, be
cause the people have confidence in
tlie stability of the gftvernment and
they have confidence In Omaha. Our

publican leaders to read out of the

have refused to follow the party pro
gram. The editorial says In part;
“The renegade or the statesman
who believes his own wisdom Is
greater than the collective wisdom of
his party will do well to take the lea
son to himself. The time has passed
for any further coddling of that lit

Maj ority
Increasing
President's Total in Electoral
College Reaches 343 Votes
and May Mount; Davis
Receives 136 So Far.
La Follette Has Only 13
Now York, Nov. 5.—The tail ends o£
the election returns, both presidential
and congressional, as they trickled in
slowly throughout the day, gave no
evidence of reducing President Cool
idgo’s large majority in the electoral
college, but gave possibilities of in
creasing it further.
The republican party lines In the
congressional contests seemed to be
holding tight as the day closed and
the question seemed to be only the
margin of the working majority for
the party In the house and senate.
The republicans, on the face of the
available returns, were holding the
gains they made in the count during
the first 24 hours.
Two senate contests were outstand
ing. In Iowa, Senator Brookhart,
who has supported the La Follette
policies and who repudiated the re
publican national ticket, was trailing
his democratic opponent, who has
bene credited with republican support;
but the returns from the rural dis
tricts in Iowa were coming ii) slowly
and Brookhart was confident they
would restore him to first place—
just ns they did in his primary and
his election campaigns.
Practically the same situation pre
vailed in regard to Magnus Johnson,
the farmer-labor senator from Minne
sota.
Practically 24 hours after the clos
ing of the polls in many districts, ap
proximately 100 congressional returns
were missing.
Late today president Cooiidge's to
tal in the electoral college was 343
votes, with probabilities that It would
go higher; the total for John W. Davis,
the democrat candidate, was 136, with
'possibility of some smfill addition, and
Senator La Foilette's hag still was
the 13 votes from his home state of
Wisconsin.

Th@ Omaha B®@
andl the
Campaign!!
__\n Kdilorial__'
It is with mingled feelings of
satisfaction and gratitude, and a
deep sense of responsibility that we
comment upon the outcome of the
election and our own part in it.
The satisfaction is such as natur
ally comes with the winning of a
good fight—particularly when that
fight was conducted upon our own
part without rancor and free from
bitterness.
The gratitude comes In the know
ledge that the affairs of the na
tion will be in the hands of men
eminently fitted to administer
them.
The sense of responsibility grows
out of the fact that it is The
Omaha Bee, that by argument and
precept in large measure induced
the people of Nebraska and Oma
ha to vqte as they did.
We thus become In a Bense trus
tees for the citizens of this com
munity for the conduct of those i
whom we have aided in electing to
office. We pledge ourselves to
live up to this responsibility to the
fullest of our capacities.
"Let another's moutii praise
thee," is advice uttered long ago.
It still holds good. Yet we feel
it is doing no violence to modesty
to express to our readers the
sense of our satisfaction felt in the
course pursued by The Omaha Bee
throughout the campaign. At no
time has there been any doubt as
to the attitude of this paper. Cler
ly and decisively, its editor has
followed a definite policy. Support
was giyen Calvin Coolidge and
Charles O. Dawes, because of their
records as public servants. Also w«
were moved by a fixed belief in
their capacity, integrity and per
sonal characters. For a similar
reason we gave support to Adam
McMullen and those other republi
cans who were nominated for of
fice in Nebraska.
We found it easy to do this, be
cause the men who had been se
lected at the primary as candi
dates were such that they needed
no defense. Not often does this
happen. The result of the election
fully Justifies onr oourse The
voters agreed with us in our esti
mate of the men.
A peculiarly gratifying reflection
is that (luring the whole campaign
no word wae printed that reflect
ed on the personal character of
any man seeking office. We did.
properly and in reason, criticize the
public acts and utterances of those
we felt did not deserve election.
But we hope we have demonstrat
ed to the readers of our paper that
a campaign may lie won without
resort to the methods of other
days.
A certain glow of satisfaction
permeates our whole establish
ment. We feel that in no small
way- this paper contributed to the
outcome in Nebraska. Frankly
partisan, it has been equally fair,
and in a spirit of service to all it
gave the news and expressed its
views without rancor and It has no
cause to regret anything Its
columns contained.
We extend our thanks to all our
many friends in Omaha and in Ne
braska. both those who have been
for maiu^ years tied to us with
bonds of affection, and those of
our new friends who have recently
joined our family circle. We
pledge to them all a continuance of
that policy of fairness, of dfgnity.
The election is over. We know
the direction our affairs are to take
for the next four years. We now
pledge our support to all those
forward moving projects that mean
so much to the prosperity and ad
vancement of city and state.
It is our firm conviction that
both men and Institutions succeed
in the same measure as they de
serve success. We look always for
the bright side of life. We work
always for those things that will
build and make better. There is
so much building to be done that
we will be happy always in doing
our share.
Among other thing* we will build
or help to build in Omaha, is a big
ger, I letter Omaha Bee.
Tlie doing of this is a part of our
pledge to our fellow citizens. And
these are the reasons why the elec
tion has brought us satisfaction
and gratitude. These are the base-s
of a new found responsibility. To
meet this responsibility will bring
us with pleasure

Des Moines, Nov. S.—Daniel F.
Steck, democratic candidate for Unit
ed States senator, whose election was
conceded by Louis H. Cook, Senator
Brookhart's campaign manager,
when less than 200 precincts in the
state remained to be heard from, will
have broken a precedent of 65 years
over uninterrupted republican repre
sentation from Iowa in the senate if
final figures do not upset the ratio
established by the precincts that have
reported.
Iowa's last previous democratic
senator was George W. Jones of Du
buque, who served front 1848 to 1859.

the place of commander of the low i

MacNider’s regime as national com
mander to that of chairman of the
legion's national legislative commit

important role in the successful bt

National Guard when the United

New York. Nov. 5.—Belated re

Returns from 796 of the 4*5 con
gressional districts gave the repub
licans an actual majority—218—but
in this total are included nearly a

The democrats, meantime, had
made certain of 170 seats and the
farmer-labor party of two.
On the basis of these returns the
