BRYAN. BLAMES WILSOX AND :
COX FOR DEMOCRT1C DISASTER
Lincoln, Neb.,. Nov. 3. W. J. Bryan
placed what he termed the blame for
democratic defeat about equally between
President Wilson and Governor Cox, in a
statement made here this evening. The
president, he said, 'laid the foundations
for the disaster and the governor com
pleted the structure "
"The American people want the gov
ernment to play Its part in the abolition
of war but they are indifferent as to
whether we are part of a league or part
01 an association ot nations," the state
ment said. "The real issue presented
by the democratic, party was not whether
we should cooperate with otner nations in
terested 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. The
nation will do its part in aiding to pre
vent war but It will not aurrender the
keeping of any foreign group the, right
to determine when we shall declare war.
Governor Cox, Instead of repairing the
injury done by the president, aggravated
the situation by the manner in which he
avoided domestic issues and misrepresent
ed the position of the republican party on
me league issue, which he declared to
be paramount"
of nations as established by the Wilson
covenant.
The Temps says: "The election may
'be considered as a referendum on the
entrance of the United States into the
league of nations, the result of which is
a personal defeat for President Wilson.
Mr. Harding is opposed to the Wilson ian
conception of the league, but is favor
able to constituting an association of na
tions." '
. La Libert e says: "American common-
sense has condemned Utopia in all Its
forms. From an international point of
.view the American election day was. a
had day for socialism and the society of
nations, the consequences of which will
-be felt throughout the world.'
The Intransigeant says: "From the
French point 01 view it Is a success.

Rscorter by a brass band and accomp
anied by Senator Lodge, Governor-elect
Channing H. Cox and Lieutenant-Gov- Senator Harding has often professed
ernor-elect Alvin T. Fuller, he went to
the club, where he responded to congrat-
vlatory addresses. f
Messages of congratulation poured in
trom all sections of the country today,
among them being one from Franklin D.
Roosevelt, democratic candidate for vice
president which the governor acknowl
edged in a brief telegram.
Tomorrow evening Governor and Mrs.
Tooldgo will be given a reception at the
University club in this city. Both will
uttend a reception by the citizens ot
Korthampton, their home city, on Friday

mer there were virtually no shipments

anthracite received was less tnan Jou,-

AGAINST PROHIBITION
Boston, Nov. 3. Governor Collidge,
ice president-leect, tonight said that one
of the gratifying results of the election
"has been the nationwide support of the

"While of course, most of the southern
dates "iTave been carried by the demo
cratic party," he added, "republican
strength m that section has so increased
as to indicate the' breaking away from
"he former prejudices that ruled there
for many years.
"There is no where that the American
'pirit is so strong as in the border anja
southern states. If wecan eliminate the
sectional feeling that has so long pre-
ailed, those states will vote the repub
lican ticket They are against every form
tit radicalism and their attachment to con
ititutlonal government is overpowering."
Governor Coolidge spent the day at
lhe state house attending to his duties
as governor, and announced that he
would continue actively to direct state
affairs until hia term expires on January
1. He added that he had made no defi
nite plans for the-period between that
