Ziegler, chairman, SPANGLER MAKES SHARP ANSWER NO CHANGES IN CABINET LOOKED FOR BY COOLIDGE in ncn iurm Got a Reception on Arrival. Like Unto That Would Be Given Queen- New York.

March 25. If America had a queen she might get such a reception on her return from an European trip as was accorded today to Gloria Swanson, who was once a department store clerk, and. who is now the Marquise de la Falaise and a $17,500 a week movie But just at present the odds would be at least 2 to 1 against the queen. For it was more than a regal reception that welcomed the highest paid motion picture actress on her return today from France, where she completed a picture, married her third husband, and came very near dying as" the result of a suddenly necessary operation. And it was a very young woman who blushed, got extremely nervous and.

altogether, thoro-ly enjoyed the welcome. Enjoyed it, perhaps, only 'second to a handsome young man with a' light mustache who kept very, very, much in the background and got. very, very uncomfortable when it was eventually discovered that he is the new Swanson husband and answers when called the Marquis Henri de la Falaise. With mutual blushes they have recounted their first meeting when Henry rather timidly looked at the woman he thought was a vampire and Gloria sized up the man she had Heard was a hardened "Lady Killer." and both proved to be both and Glorious Gloria, much lighter because of her illness, dressed in an ensenjhle suit of beige, trimmed at the skirt bottom with old ermine for dyed beige color, and topped with a little biegc hat pale and a little tired. She seemed in good health, however Hank after rank of newspaper photographers and special writers who were there to receive the mai-quise pronounced it entrancing.

Henri de la-Falaise blushed and put his hands in his pockets. Rank after rank of the curious, excited fans, enthusiastic evcrybodies, crowded closer and cheered. One could almost see the carriage of state, the bespangled grenadier guards at the diadem. Henri de la Falaise blushed and took his hands out of his pockets. Oh, it was a most regal welcome.

But, too soon it was oier. The Marquise de la Falaise has many things to do that she left undone when she was just Gloria Swanson, or rather. Mrs. Herbert K. Som-born.

To" begin with, on April 19 in Hollywood she must contest a suit for JIO.OOO brought by her counsel for fees claimed in the suit for divorce on grounds of desei-lion brought by Somborn in 1923. Another thing Gloria is going to sell her California holdings-beautiful home in Beverly Hills." In the meantime. Gloria would settle some points for once and for all, which shall be done while the Marquis de la Falaise blushes, puts his hands in his pockets again and then blushes and takes them out. The maiquis is to lie Gloria's business manager. He will not appear in the galloping photo- Then Gloria is predicting great things for a little protege ot hers, discovered on this visit to France.

She Is ATiette Marshall, and she i commg to America and to Holly-And Gloria is very, very happy, the happiest she has ever been, at with her three children, the eight she hopes to have in the future, and with her new husband.

His very speaking engagements were made by the campaign managers of the La Foilcttc party and he seldom appeared except with a third party orator to assist Inm in his meetings.

To make the claim that he was urging the voters to stand with the Republican paity is an insult to the intelligent recollection of the people of Iowa who know the recent history of Iowa politics and who heard him speak the last campaign. Doesn't he Appear like the man who had to tell a falsehood to hide a previous lie? If there is any one in Iowa who heard Mr. Brookhart say a kind word for Calvin Coolidge and the Republican party last fall, the committee hadn't heard of him. Committee Has the Power. "The only other defense which his reply contains, when stripped of its meaningless phrases is to the effect that the Republican commit tee is not authorized by law to represent the Republican party.

The primary law, under which this committee is elected, certainly gives it that power. The courts of the land hold that, at all times when tlie political party is not in convention, that the central coniiSiiU.ee not only has the power to represent it, but that it is its duty to do so. It seems that Mr. Brookhart is not informed as to the law. Anti-Brookhart Votes.

Docs he represent more than 250,000" Republicans who scratched their ballots, preferring to vote for a Democrat who did not even pretend to stand for Republican principles? How about the thousands on thousands of Republican votes he got had succeeded, by virtue of his false oath, in getting his name on the ticket with Calvin Coolidge and because they desired to vote for him. but because they could do other course? In his vote le Iso had the LaFoilette party vote who had no candidate of their own on their ticket and who came id voted tor him.

"I am little concerned with personal attacks he makes against me.

They are in line with the methods he has always displayed in his venomous dislike for everyone who does not agree with him. The committee will proceed to present the law and facts which so clearly show-that both the nomination and claimed election of Mr. Brookhart were obtained thru false pretenses."
