TODAYS Some Political. Talk. Votinp; for Mellon. Silk Stockings. I No estimate of the tihsets or I ties was given in the papers. By ARTHUR BRISBANE (Copyright, 1024, by Star Compsny) John W. Davik believes that eight states will go to I.aFollette, and that he will wet the South, of course. Including the usual plurality In Ten nessee. All politicians, if they fell what they really think, say that Dsvis' re mslning hope is to have the election thrown Into the house. It may go there. LaFolIetti's power and fol lowing are generally under-estimated, In the east. Republican ctithuslsiits ssy that LaKollr.tte will carry only North Dakota and Wisconsin. Others 'admit that he has a fairly good chance In st least four other states. Nine of ten well informed politi cians predict that Coolidge will be elected. And the bets nf S to 1 that have been made on Coolidge Indicate that there are FACTS buck of the' bets. Such oddi are made, as a rule only on reliable figures.

If Mr. Coolidge Is elected, Mr. Mellon presumably will remain as secretary of tho treasury, and continue paying off the United Statea debt, retiring bonds, reducing taxes. Mr. Mellon haa given to the people the ability and earnest hard work of ono of the ablest business men in the United States. The people, if they can, ought to retain 111 i services at least until he baa paid off u few more ef the billions of debt tha. our dem ocratic friends, with the best of in tentions probably, piled up so cheer fully In the wnr days.
