LaGuardia's smashing fu ilon victory and marshalled its chattered forces tosee if the dam age could be repaired. The nrospcct of- a bitter fight In the city's democratic ranks was seen in a statement by John P. Cur ry, Tammany chief, accusing Post master General James A. Farley, state and national democratic chairman, of disrupting the party In the city, and asserting that if Farley remained in party office, the democrats could not look for victory in next year's election. Meanwhile, the fusionists, Jubi lant over control of the city govern ment for the next four years, pre pared to strengthen their position toy forming a permanent organiza tion. Maurice P. Davidson, party thairman, said the fusion organiza tion would continue on a militant basis "to enforce the principal of non-partisanship." LaGuardia planned a vacation to recuperate from the hard-hitting campaign in which he rolled up a 262,000 plurality. Graft must go, he said, and expenditures must be cut to the bone. He also aims to revise the city charter, abolishing the board of aldermen and making oth er fundamental changes. . Concerning the disorders at the polls Tuesday, LaGuardia said elec tions during the next four years "are going to be so nice and orderly that little chUdren wlU be able to skip rope outside of any polling place in the city."

Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN It takes courage to be connected with a higher educational institu tion these days in any capacity. It takes courage to be a professor. It takes courage to be a dean, it takes courage to be a regent. Above all, it takes Kerr -age to be a chan cellor. We should Judge the trouble with the late president of the board of regents was that he only had a half-Nelson on each school. At any rate it will probably be Dean R, E. Morse before it's all over. We might suggest they send Dr. Kerr over here to be president of Willamette university when Dr. Doney retires in the spring. The atmosphere around town this morning looked like a cross between the mind of a con gressman and the mind of a legislator. Tift nnlu Hiffprmify. twinff t.hftt the fog around town finally lifted. CORRECTION In a damage action which has been coins on in circuit court a skeleton has played somewhat of a prominent part in proving some nolnts the lawyers' wisnea to prove, Not knowing the identity of the skeleton the boys have called it "Elmer" behind its back. The skele ton didn't seem to resent it and made no protest, for it knew what it was about. For imagine the chagrin of the attorneys and court attaches this morning when a pro fessional man showed them up. It seems on the professional man's testimony the skeleton Is not "El mer" at all nut is "josepnine. We're surprised that any Salem attorney or court attache would have a skeleton like that In his closet. . Rue Drager brought In a coyote skin this morning from the Waldo Hills .shot on the Waldo farm only 10 miles out from Salem. This is the farthest down In the valley he's ever seen a coyote, says Rue. May be the animal was headed this way attracted by the government pork.

But the size of the coyote Is not the most unusual feature in the kill as the animal was shot and killed on the old Waldo farm near Macleay not over 10 miles from Salem. The animal got away with 10 tur keys before he was brought down, The turkeys had been missing and it was known some animal or varmit was getting them, but a coyote was not suspicions d because of the loca tion of the ranch in the heart of the valley.
