The pledge was made in a formal statement thanking the electorate for the endorsement of his administration and for returning him to the White House by an overwhelming majority. "It does not seem possible to me," the president said, "to make an adequate expression concerning the presidency of the United States. No other honor equals it, no other responsibility approaches it. When it is conferred by an overwhelming choice of the people and vote of the electoral college, these are made 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 thru the work of a divine providence of which I am but one instrument. Such powers as I have I dedicate to the service of all my country-men. In the performance of the duties of my office, I did not ask for anything more than the sympathetic consideration which my fellow Americans have always bestowed upon me. I have no appeal except the common sense of all the people. I have made no pledge except to serve them. I have no object except to promote their welfare." The president's statement was issued following an exchange of telegrams between himself and John W. Davis, the defeated Democratic candidate.

The big vote given the government indicates there can't have been so many disgruntled with it as some would have led us to believe. That means there should be less friction to the wheels of progress. The absence of any necessity for changes in the administration of national affairs affords opportunity for the nation to go ahead toward fuller prosperity immediately.

DAVIS SENDS PRESIDENT TELEGRAM WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.—The Stars and Stripes stop at the White House snapped out a little more defiantly in the morning breeze today. And that was the only outward indication that the American people had accorded to Calvin Coolidge a lease on the premises at No. 1600 Pennsylvania-ave, for a full term of four years and placed in his hands their national destiny. The program at the White House today was "business as usual." When returns early today indicated a Coolidge-Dawes victory with a substantial majority in the electoral college, the little four-some which had sat together in the president's study during the evening broke up. In the 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. LATE RETURNS FROM WEST Emphasize Magnitude of G. O.P. Sweep NEW YORK, Nov. 5—President Coolidge has been elected to succeed himself by a popular majority that is probably unprecedented and by a majority in the electoral college that has been surpassed but twice in the history of the republic. Late returns from doubtful states in the west this afternoon emphasized the magnitude of the Republican sweep and assured Coolidge and Daves of 379 votes in the college, a majority of 113. The two occasions on which this figure was exceeded were in 1912 when the Republican split allowed Wilson to roll up 435, and in 1920 when Harding polled 404. In popular majority, Coolidge is expected to exceed the seven million mark set by President Harding in 1920. Up to this afternoon five states had been considered doubtful—Arizona, Montana, Nevada and New Mexico. Late returns put all but New Mexico in the Republican column. Davis appears to have carried New Mexico by a slight margin, this state and Oklahoma and Tennessee being the only states carried by Davis above what James M. Cox carried. On the basis of these returns, Coolidge will have 379 votes in the college, Davis 139 and LaFollette 13—his native Wisconsin. The only fly in the Republican ointment is the doubt that exists about a clear cut majority in congress. Late returns indicate the Republican landslide carried with it enough Republican candidates for congress to provide a paper majority of about 30 seats. This is not sufficient to give the Republicans a dependable working majority for a coalition of Democrats and insurgent Republicans (there are 16 of these from Wisconsin and the northwest) can block the administration on a good occasion. In the senate, the same situation prevails. The Republicans gained seats in Colorado, Kentucky, Massachusetts and Oklahoma—four. They have apparently lost a seat in New Mexico; late returns indicating the defeat of Sen. H. O. Bursum by Judge S. G. Bratton, Dem., and they may yet lose seats in Iowa, where Dan Steck, Dem., is running ahead of Brookhart, Rep., and in South Dakota, where there is a nip and tuck fight between McMaster, Rep., and Cherry, Dem. Either way the Iowa fight terminates, it is a loss for the Republicans. Brookhart is LaFollette's chief lieutenant in the senate, more oft- The statement called upon Progressives everywhere "to close ranks and gird themselves for the next battle." "We have just begun to fight," La Follette declared. MADISON, Wis., Nov. 5.—The result of the election was a bitter disappointment to Sen. Robert M. La Follette. He had expected that the Progressive ticket would show far greater strength, especially in the larger industrial centers of the east in which he waged a vigorous campaign in the closing days of the presidential fight. What La Follette will do next is entirely up in the air. He is keeping close to his study and until more complete returns are in declares he will have nothing to say about the election or his plans for the future. He first wants to learn the approximate size of his total vote before announcing whatever plans he may have for pressing forward with the establishment of a new permanent political party, admitted one of his chief reasons for having entered the campaign. If returns come in sufficiently fast today, it was believed La Follette, would issue a statement. His vote in the far west and in the corn and wheat belt states also was disappointing to him. Despite the fact that he was decisively beaten, La Follette, today maintained a cheerful outward appearance. He remained up until midnight receiving returns. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 5.—Wisconsin, rallying to the support of her favorite son, today had given Sen. Robt M. La Follette, a lead of 36,000 over President Coolidge and had re-elected Gov. J. J. Blaine, La Follette's personally endorsed governorial candidate. Returns from 1055 of the states 2,679 precincts tabulated today show; La Follette, 156,410; Coolidge, 120,950; Davis, 23,657.

It was Stearns who discovered Calvin Coolidge and who has been steadily directing him toward today's goal—election to the presidency. Among those who waited at the White House for the returns, none was more calm or cool than the president. The president went to bed at 1 o'clock this morning, and was up again seven hours later. Breakfast was served at the White House shortly after 8 o'clock and then Mr. Coolidge took his usual early morning walk thru 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 president's victory were Atty. Gen. Stone, Secretary of the Navy Wilbur and Acting Secretary of Agriculture Gore.
