SOME WRECKS IN SEWARD
Junk cast up on the beach of Resurrection Bay after the big storm
By PAT O’COTTER
The sun is smiling brightly, and the
smoke has cleared away, the camp
is hitting on all six, after election
day. Some folks are grouping
blindly, and gasping some for air;
they say that our elections are
something else but fair.
Joe Hofman roams the streets and
says, “Kid, ain’t that great, and re
member wot I told you, of that piv
otal state. They didn’t fool me one
darn bit and I’d have dough to burn
if any one had bet me, for I surely
called the turn.”
Wayne Blue is sad and tearful, and
life seems just a sob, he says back
in Virginia “my pal has lost his
job. Of course it may be for the
best, but I can’t see it now, the
Bourbon vote has lost the race; but
still I don’t see how. John Troy
went east to see the show, he wrote
me all was good, and I believed in
Johnny Troy, as all good Demo’s
should, and now see where we land
our boat, Oh, where was McAdoo,
there’s nothing I can see but woe,
and what will people do.
But “Cigaroots” is cheerful, as he
notes his party’s doom, he sees the
sunshine in the clouds, there’s some
thing more than gloom. He says the
“boys who won the race, the gang
who led the mob, will pity us poor
Democrats, and see we get a job.
I’m getting old to make a change,
and I wish that we had won. And I
hope a party soon springs up that
wants a native son. This thing will
break the “State' of Maine,” I’m
glad he is not here to see the bunch
they handed us, the jig is up I fear.
Bill Hawkins walks the streets and
frowns, and says I told you so, if
Smith had not beat McAdoo we
would have had a show. Of course
that war game queered our gang,
but Wilson now has passed and I
think I’m thru with politics, we
democrats don’t last. I’m sorry for
the boys outside, it will sure be one
tough fall, they’ll pry them off the
payroll, and give Republicans the
call. And still my brother told me,
and I really should have known.
Now Republicans will get the n\eat,
and there won’t be any bone.
Judge Whittlesey says, “I guessed
wrong, and that was years ago, but
COOLIDGE SWEEPS
COUNTRY, WINNING
ALL STATES BUT 14
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—Calvin Cool
idge has swept the country for re
election and according to United Press
returns today has taken with him to
Washington a clear working majority
in both the Senate and the House.
His sweeping victory is shown by the
facts that of all the States in the
Union with a total electoral vote of
531, all swung into the Coolidge col
umn but fourteen, Davis taking 13
Southern States with 136 electoral
votes and La Follette taking his home
state with 13 electoral votes. Coolidge
will have over 300 votes in the elec
toral college.
The total popular vote throughout
the country will exceed 1,5000,000,
and his victory is the greatest in
many years.
Coolidge Expresses Thanks
The President today expressed his
simple thanks as one of the first acts
after his election was assured. “It
does not seem (possible to me,” said
Mr. Coolidge, in a statement given to
the newspapers, ‘“to make adequate
expression concerning the presidency
of the United States. No honor can
equal it; no responsibility approaches
it. When it is conferred by an over
whelming choice of the people and the
vote of the electoral college these are
all the greater. I can only express
my simple thanks to all those who
have contributed to this result and
plainly acknowledge that it has been
brought to pass through work of Di
vine providence of which I am but an
instrument. Such powers as I have
I dedicate to the service of all my
country and all my countrymen.’*
give Coolidge 12,334, Davis 154S and
LaFollette 4943.
NEW YORK.—Flash from The
World says the Democrats will Use
the state of Delaware.
(Continued on Page Two)
I was raised a Democrat, and they
can’t change you know. Still, t’was
worse than I suspected the way we
all got soaked, it looks as if Cal
Coolidge, had our whole gang
“commoked.”
“Cop’’ wears a smile that won’t come
off, a grin with every smile, he says
“I knew we had 'em beat—we had
’em beat a mile. I knew we’d carry
Washington and likewise, too New
York, we had that bunch all tight
ened up, like a bottle round a cork.
La Follette got Wisconsin; Davis
didn’t win a heat. Well, I knew be
fore I left the East, we had the
whole*world beat. I wired old Cal
this morning and told him what to
do, for he told me when I left him,
‘Cop, Alaska’s up to you.’ ”
George Sexton wrears a happy grin.
wThen you ask him who’s elected.
George ventures this opinion, “Well,
it’s just as I expected. I spw the
whole thing weeks ago, the time I
toured the East, I knew we’d barba
cue La Follette and serve Davis for
a feast. We have the proper line
up, there’s some things I must ar
range, and before the spring time
comes again you’re going to see a
change.
And so the gang is satisfied and each
one seems to know' that Cal would
be elected, and La Follette had no
show. That Davis, while a decent
guy, he never had a chance, and
that Coolidge was the only bet for
the coming four year’s dance. The
election is all over, and now it’s up
to us, to settle down to business
and forget this little fuss. Dan
Sutherland got sundry votes, but he
had a narrow call, and if he’s wise
he’ll take a glance at the writing on
the wall. Things are getting back
to normal, this bickering gets our
goat, and there’d be a lot more
changes if all hands would only
vote.
No matter who’s elected and what
party gets the call, if we want to
cop the hot cakes, we’ll have to hit
the ball. It makes damn little dif
ference to a man up here today, we
