DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT CONGRATULATES REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR ON ELECTION
A democratic president today sent a letter of congratulation to a republican governor upon his reelection and the defeat of the democratic candidate for governor by an overwhelming majority, which is believed to have established another precedent.
Tuesday's election showed republican gains in almost every state where elections were held. Coolidge was re-elected governor of Massachusetts by the biggest vote ever given a governor in that state, his election being an endorsement of his strong stand in firing the Boston police when they struck. Long, the democratic candidate, made his campaign as a friend of union labor and made his fight against Coolidge whom he classed as "an enemy of union labor" because of his action in the policeman's strike.
The returns show the sentiment of Massachusetts on the question.
The vote of Massachusetts on the question.
Boston-Governor Coolidge, republican, who made support of law and order the sole issue of the campaign, was rejected by a plurality of over 124,000 over Richard Long, democrat.
Long appealed to the labor vote on the ground that Coolidge had shown hostility to organized labor in denouncing the strike of the Boston policemen as deserters.
Wilson Congratulated Him.
WASHINGTON.—President Wilson from his  Sick bed, today telegraphed! Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts, congratulating him on his reelection. New Jersey Democratic.
