Sinn 4'orrrwioni1nt Ermine Public I.filrrr
Washington, Sept. 22. The election
of Senator Itursum In Now Mexico Is a
striking cvldenco that that State, and
probably the wholo country, is still ns
nntl-Dcmocrotlc as It wan one year ago.
The voters arc still immensely friendly
to President Harding. He possesses
their confldenco nnd ' they rest their
hopes upon blm. Xo other Interpreta
tion Is possible.
The sire of Sir. ttursum's victory sur
prised even bin own managers. On
Monday they were claiming that their
rnnuiuiuc woum carry tho Stnto by
mat superiority of tho Republicans In
the State. And In this particular elec
tion tho Mexican element, which Is
lareelv Remibllcan. was disaffected, and
I had n candidate of Its own, cutting Into
liursum's support.
Republicans Had Funds
i Tt Is true that the Renubllcans in New
Mexico enjoyed the advantage of better
organization and more money thnn tho
Democrats had, And that Is importnui
In New Mexico, which Is a State of
vast distnnceH and wide polling dis
tricts, where men nro forced to travel
fnr fn pnst. flmlr hnllnta. Tho Rcuubll-
cans, with adequate means, got their
vote out fully.
Uut when every allowance U made.
tho success of Mr. Humim Is Impres
sive. The usual reliction against a party
which has won by an enormous plural
ity has not begun. Hard times, which
usually affect injuriously tho party In
IHiwcr, have not been charged up to tho
present Administration.
It is n long way till tho naxt con
gressional election, nnd Immense
changes In public oentlmont may take
plnco before the present House faces the
voters at tho polls. Hut the vote in
New Moxlco will do much to shake the
predictions being' made that the country
would swing back to tho Damocmts In
J022, making: the mld-torin change of
parties, as It so often hns in tho past
:o
one outstanding flnim nnd (h Demo
cratic? party has no outstanding figure.
Tho Republicans hav. rather than one
single man, n group of men who com-
iiiuim coiiiiuonce.
You can make a strong Cabinet out
.. "P"bllcan Party. Tho Demo
Sn,lc. J1'? nnB no c resources. The
Jlcpubllcans suggest practical capacity
In a diOlcult situation. Tho Demo
crats do not.
This situation does not exactly parol
ii t?one ' England which keeps
k'oyd George continuously In power.
Mr. Harding is no Lloyd George. Hut
the result Is similar. It Is Impossible
?.,jr. n.nc' " may remain Imposslblo In
J 1)24 for ttlft Nnllnn in turn hnnotntlv
elsewhere than to tho Republican Party
mr too maicrmi ror government.
Cabinet Now Has Prestige
A Cabinet hns come by one of those
odd changes which take place In politi
cal thinking to be uppermost in the
national consciousness In place of tho
Executive, as in tho days of Wilson nnd
Roosevelt, or Congress as in tho best
days of Aldrlch and Cannon, or the
the League of Nations Here,

and urged them to go out and get food. September 21. the dispatches asserted
Albanian lorci", . u. i.- iu
habitants of the dixtrict. repulsed the
attack. ... , .
The dispatches received by Bishop
Fannoli were passed from hand to hand
among the members of the League dur
ing this morning's session while
Esthoniii. Lithuania and Lot via were
being admitted. They read much like
official war communiques.
This was a campaign claim and
was In excess of their rcul expectn-

equals the ii.uuw plurality or President
Harding nnd far exceeds tho 8000 given
Governor Mcechiin one year ago or the
2000 by which Senator Fall went In.
Thesp latter figures mcasura the nor-
graauai uniting oncic to oia co-
allegiance is In sight. If a now align
ment of voters takes place in tho next
few months It will bo a violent one, the
result of Bomo serious mlstako of Con
grew, with regard tc the tariff, per
Imps. Many Strong Republicans
Tho weakness of tho Democratic
party Is the old weakness that you can
not be a somebody with nobody. The
Democratic party hns nobody. It Is not
so much that tho Republican party has
party ns In tho 'days of Hnnna. Vntl
the Doraocratlc Party can show a Cabi
net equal to that of Mr. Harding it
will remain n case of "you eannot post
somebody with nobody. ,
Senators nnd Representatives arriv
ing In Washington bring back Interest
ing reactions from the country. They
leport that .Mr. Harding is personally
much lilted by the voters, who approve
Ids simplicity, kindliness, modesty, ex
cellent intontlons. He's not ft great
popular hero llko some of his predeces
sors ! he Is a good friend In the White
House, nno of their own kind, who is
doing the best he can under difficult
circumstances. Ills personal hold upon
the voters Is stronger than when ho was
elected.
Foreign Policies Ignored
His foreign policies, which havo been
till now the strongest nnd mot suc
cessful part of his Administration, have
not greatly Impressed tho public, which,
except along the seaboard, docs not
think much of international relations.
Tho voters approve, but like to talk
about more Interesting subjects. Knn-
ui reports n keen nttontlon to H
nrmnment, but the rest of tho country
does not.
Probably the agricultural States nro
more Interested In this topic than tho
Industrial States, which lalk chiefly
about when prosperity will return.
Every one says that the tariff Is n
subject novcr mentioned spontaneously
by voters back home. Only when n
Bcnntor or Representative brought up
tho tariff did tho voter talk, and then In
n way that showed ho had not been
thinking about it.

A PLAYER PIANO IS THE

WITH THE DUO

It is unapproached by any other a
union of the most versatile player and
the piano the whole world accepts as
its musical standard. In selecting a

anism is of great importance it
should be the best but the quality of
the piano itself determines the real

both musical dignity and assurance of

rvRIEKTAL Pearls enchanted
-' words symbolizing tho romantic
beauty of strange seas and the colors
of the Orient. Since and before
Cleopatra's time tho pearl has been
tho most prized of all gems, and tho
woman who is the possessor of a
pearl necklace Is favored indeed,
bailey, Hanks & Diddle Company
has a superb collection of perfectly
graduated nccitiaces, and ior inose
uho havo n necklace separate pearls
that will greatly beautify and en
hance their value. It was my im
pression that it was tho common
practice for those who possessed n beau
tiful necklnro to match It with nn Imita
tion, but I urn Informed by the llulloy
Company that such 1h not tho fiu't. that
of all tho neclduces they havo wold they
have nevor been called upon to duplleato
It with one that Is not Kantilne. Kor
the rial pkasiire of wearing a pearl neck,
luce W the knowledge that It In genuine.
THO BE able to buy beautiful
Oriental Rug3 at prowar prices
is an opportunity which any one who
is furnishing this Autumn cannot
afford to overlook. This Jb what the
store of Fritz & Ln Rue, 1015 Chest
nut Stieet, are doing It is selling all
of its rugs at exactly one-half the
price for which they wore selling last
year. When you consider the durabil
ity of Oriental Rugs and the superior
quality over thoso of domestic make,
besides tho pleasure which you feel
in possessing them, you will realize '
that it is well worth your while to j
visit Fritz & La Rue's before tho
proposed tariff regulations alter
prices. For this week they are fea
turing the Scrape and Mosul Persian
rugs, which are so lovely in color,!
tone and design, and beuutifully
silky in texture.
TPHE style of a garment depends
chiefly upon the cut of that gar
ment. And so at tho. shop of J.
Habisreltingcr, Furrier, 1911 Chest
nut Street, you will find wraps of
unusual beauty, not only because of
tho wonderful quality of the furs
out of which they are made, but also
because of the modish manner in
which they are cut. I saw n charm
ing mink coat made with a large
circular collar and kimono sleeves,
the skins cunningly arranged to
mnke the design of the coat most
attractive. Then there was a Mole
skin coat with large collar and cuffs
of Squirrel which would bo delight
ful for tho matinee or afternoon
affairs. Or if you aic simply look
ing for some kind of a neckpiece,
tho straight beaver chokers nre very
good nnd not expensive.
IT WAS n clever person who in-
often have you complained that you
could not arrango yourself com
fortably so as to get a propor light
on your book or work or whatever it
was that you wished to see? All of
us have had this difficulty. I think,
and so when I saw the Adjusto-Lite
among the many useful electrical
supplies at Buchanan's Shop, 171."
Chestnut Street, I wna immediately
impressed with its many ubos. It is
a small electrical lamp which may
be clamped anywherct on the bed,
on your chair, on tho desk, on the
sewing machine, on the dressing
table, on the shuvlng mirror. The
shade is adjustableTio ns to throw the
light in any direction desired. Tho
brass lamps are priced nt $5.00
and tho Bronze or Nickel at $5.G0.

EFORE you start your nutumn
cleaning it would be on excellent
idea to look over your rugs, curtains
and other furnishings and send those
which need cleaning to Uargs', 1113
, Chestnut Street, so that they will
be ready to be put back in their
! propor places when your house is
ready for the wintor senson. Often
there are particles of dirt or grit
.which lodge in rugs and carpets and
cnuBe them to wear out quickly and
which nro impossible to get out with
ordinary cleaning. Then, of course,
curtains, especially heavy ones, can
1 only be thoroughly cleaned by send
ing them to a reliable firm such aB
Bargs'. You will appreciate the
prompt anil efficient work done by
this establishment.
npiIIS month of September, the
very timo when you are most in
need of replenishing your kitchen
and housohold supplies, the store of
J. Frunklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut
Street, is holding a 20 discount
salo which should bo of interest to
every housekeeper. Perhaps among
your wants you may require n new
carpet sweoper. If so, you are now
alfordod an excellent opportunity of
buying n "Bissell," a muko famous
for its superior quality, for $1.25.
The woman who takeB pride in a
well-uppointed pantry will be par
ticularly pleased with tho sale of
Fries' whito enameled tinware,
which includes boxes for bread, enke,
flour, sugar, cereal, tea, coffee, otc,
well constructed of the highest grade
material and neatly labeled with
gold letters.
