Wilson Silent
On Outcome of
National Vote
No Indication Given of His
Future Course on .Peace
Treaty and League
Covenant.
By Thp Associated Tress.
Washington, Nov. 3. President
Wilson had no comment to make to
day on the result of Tuesday's elec
tion, nor did he send any message
of congratulation to President-elect
Harding.
1 Having received only the prelimi
nary returns before retiring last
night, the president arose early and
after breakfast scanned the later
figures of the republican victory in
the morning newspapers. Later he
spent some time on the south por
tico of the White House and con
fei red with Secretary Tumulty.
During the afternoon the president
and Mrs. Wilson took their daily
automobile ride. Mr. Wilson re
ceived no callers and the only visit
ors at the White House executive of
fices were Henry Morganthau, for
mer ambassador to Turkey, and Nor
man Ji. Hapgood, former minister
to Denmark.
Colby Makes Comment.
Bainbridgi Colby, secretary of
state, was the only member of the
cabinet to make any formal com
ment on the outcome of .the elec
tion, but Secretary Wilson of the
labor department, sent a message to
Governor Cox in which he declared
that "truth crushedto the earth
shall rise again."
Mr. Colby said he was disap
pointed and depressed," but that he
could not but feel confident that
"in some way and by some avenue
not at the moment disclosed, this
country will act up to the highest
concept of duty."
Official and diplomatic .Washing
ton, impressed by the proportions of
the republican victory in what lead
ers on both sides in the presidential
fight had declared to be "a solemn
referendum" on the league of na
tions, already have begun to specu-1
late as to the president's probable
course with regard to the treaty of
Versailles, which has imposed in the
White House since the senate re
fused to ratify it for a second time
last Jrebruary.
Decision Still Dark.
There was no one in Washington
who professed to know what deci
sion, if any, the president had made.
Two courses were regarded as open
to him. To leave the whole ques
tion of peace with Germanv and
the league to the new administra-1
tion which takes office March 4, or
to resubmit the treaty to the sen
ate at the session bem'nnino- earlv
in December.
Unless the treaty is resubmitted
to the senate; that body at its forth
coming session could act on thp
question of peace with Germany
only by resolution. Such a measure
was adopted at the last session, but
was vetoed by President- Wilson.
Whether the republican maioritv
will undertake to revive that issue
remains to be decided by republican
leaders.

" Marion, 0 Nov. 3. Warren G
Harding spent his first day as presi-
ncnt-elcct, resting troin the tension
cf election night and reviewing late
returns, with particular' attention to
the make up of the Sixty-seventh
congress. ,
. He expressed keen pleasure as the
growing figure confirmed a repub
lican gain in both senate and house,
for he had told his friends that his
greatest apprehension over the out
come had not been a fear of defeat
for himself, so much as a realization
that as chief executive, his hand.
might be tied by lack of n working
party majority in the legislative
branches.
Senate Chief Interest
sHis interest throughout the last
weeks of the campaign turned spe
cifically to the senatorial situation,
and it was known in the inside cir
cles of the party that it was to aid
republican senatorial candidates
more than for any otlier one cause
that he left his front porch and made
a swing around the circle of states
where the present narrow senate
majority was receiving its heaviest
attacks.
As for his own fortunes, he said
today that he never had been in
doubt f-or a moment from the time
of his nomination. He voiced sur
prise at the tremendous majorities
piled up for him, however, declaring
the result had overreached his fond
est hopes.
Mr. Harding was not inclined to
regard the triumph as a .personal
one. Asi he told many of his audi
ences during the campaign, his feel
ing was that the deckion would be
made on issues rather than candi
dates, and the league of nations and
the record of the Wilson administra
tion atjjpnje were the determining
factor. -
Many Congratulations.
An avalanche of congratulatory
messages was received by f resident
Elect and Mrs. Harding today, many
prominent democrats being number
ed among those who sent their good
wishes. - Governor Cox sent a brief
telegram accepting the result, and the
senator in a still briefer message,
thanked him. When Mr. Harding
looked in at his office at the end of
the afternoon, no word had yet been

Canadians Expect
Change in Tariff as
Result of Election
Ottawa, Nov. 3. Editorial com
ment in the press of Canada reflects
the view that the republican land
slide in the United States is a fore
runner of a decided change in tariff
relations between the two countries.
In well informed quarters here, the
"probability" was discussed that the
new congress of Washington would
nullify the reciprocal clauses of the
Underwood tariff law, insofar as they
relate to foodstuffs, thus closing the
way to free wheat, wheat products
and potatoes both ways across the1
border.
Newspaper comment on the effect
the republican victory will have on
the league of nations, voices a hope
that there will be "sufficient in
fluence brought behind the new gov
ernment to put the Unite1 States
into an association of some kind for
the preservation of the peace of the
world."
New Colorado Senator
Made Million in Mining
Denver, Colo., Nov. 3. Samuel D.
Nicholson, who apparently has been
elected United States senator from
Colorado, came to Colorado in 1881,
settling in Leadville, where his home
is today. He became interested in
mining and in 1893 entered that busi
ness for himself, later becoming a
millionaire, In 1894 he was chair
man of the state convention of the
populist party and two years later
was a delcgate-at-large to its na
tional convention in St. Louis. He
was an ardent supporter of the Jatc
Theodore Roosevelt. In 1887 he
was married to Miss Annie Narey of
Leadville, who died in 1915.
Harding Thanks Louisiana
Voters for Their Support
New Orleans, Nov. 3. In a tele
gram to the Daily States here, the
managing' editor of the Marion Star,
Senator Harding's paper, said:
"Senator Harding asks our office
to utter his most grateful apprecia
tion of the fine vote given him in
Louisiana, particularly as it mani
fests a growing belief in the republi
can position: He asks me to say to
you that he has one ambition, which
is to wipe out- the last vestige of
sectionalism in America in thought,
politics, our economic life and in
government."

Time in a Year
Separation Effected Through
Divorce Court in September
Fails to Check Course of
True Love.
On their second elopement within
a year Louis W. England, jr., 21,
608 West Washington avenue, and
Edna if. Ji annum, 18, ZUUZ Avenue
A, Council Bluffs, were remarried
Tuesday in Omaha by Rev. Charles
W. Savidge.
On December 17, 1919, the young
couple eloped to Papillion, Neb.,
and were wed. England was em
ployed at the Union Pacific head
quarters and his bride at the Bran
deis stores.
They established a little home in
the Bluffs, where they lived happily
until last summer, when Edna went
home to her mother, Mrs. L. L.
Corder, 2002 Avenue.
"They were too young," said the
mother. "They just couldn't get
along."
h-arly last September young Eng
land secured a divorce from his
young bride on charges of desertion.
The decree was granted in the
Bluffs district court.
But it didn't stick.
The young couple soon began
"going together again" and decided
to take another chance.
They took the fatal plunge Tues
day and say they are going to re
establish their 'little home in Omaha
this time.. Tuesday's marriage was
just as much a surprise to their
friends as was their first elopement
last December.

Blamed by Bryan
For Party Defeat
Declares President "Laid
Foundations for the Disaster
And Governor Completed
The Structure."
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3. In a state
ment this evening William J. Bryan
placed what he termed the blame
for the democratic defeat about
equally between President Wilson
and Governor Cox. The president,
he said, "laid the foundations for
the disaster and the governor com
pleted the structure."
The statement says in part:
"The American people want the
government to play its part in the
abolition of war, but they are indif
ferent as to whether we are part of
a league or part of an association
of nations. There is nothing in a
name, but everything in a sentiment.
The real issue presented by the dem
ocratic party was not whether we
should co-operate with other nation
interested in peace, but whether we
should assume a moral obligation
which had no weight except as it
suspended the right of congress to
act independently when the time ar
rived for action. The nation will
do its part in riding to prevent war,
bui it will not surrender into the
keeping of any foreign group the
right to determine when wc slall
declare war.
"Governor Cox, instead of repair
ing the injury done by the president,
aggravated the situation by the man
ner, in which he avoided domestic is
sued and misrepresented the position
J of the republican party on the league
issue, which he declared to be para
mount." Negro

Orlando, Fla., Nov. 3. A negro

refused a vote, was lynched early

Election officials said Perry was re
fused a vote because ne naa not
paid his poll tax. He returned to
the voting place last night with a
shot gun arid opened fire on white
men, killing two, one a veteran of
the world war, and wounding sev
eral others, not seriously. Terry
was arrested and later was taken
from ' the officers by a mob.

Gilinsky Conducts
Ludicrous Defense
On Robbery Charge
Jackson, Mich., Nov. 3. (Special
Telegram.) At times bordering on
the ludicrous, Dave Gilinsky of
Omaha, opened his own defense here
today on a charge of robbing the
Grass Lake bank. Refusing to em
ploy an attorney, Gilinsky examine'd
all prospective jurors empaneled to
day.
His efforts to imitate the phrase
ology of court practice proved
amusing. He vigorously cross-examined
prospective jurors, who
showed keen dislike of the proceed
ings. He exercised several peremp
tory challenges and his methods in
dicate that several days may be re
quired to get' a competent jury.
Since his conviction on a charge of
first degree murder, Gilinsky has de
clared that he needs no attorney and
will conduct his own defense on the
lesser charge. Witnesses have been
summoned for Wednesday.
