That the democratic ticket was decisively beaten was shown on the face of the figures from the 3tait. At democratic headquarters, however, party leaders clung to a hope that the west would turn the trick ts it did for Wilson in 1916. La Follette Poor Third.

CALVIN COOLIDGE failed to realize more than a pitiful fraction of the popular vote he had expected. New England loosed a tidal wave of votes for Coolidge and Dawes. The democratic candidates didn't have a look-in there and La Follette was lost in the shuffle. The Coolidge and Dawes ticket made a clean sweep of the north from Maine to the Mississippi with the ex ception of Wisconsin, which was the only state which, it could be said with certainty, was carried by La Follette. Even the border states of Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia, the last ! Davis' home state, went into the Cool i ldge column. President Coolidge carried New York state by a plurality of avalanche ! proportions, almost reaching President I Harding's margin of 1,000,000 votes in ' 1920. Al Smith Re-elected. The heavy undertow of this roaring tide of Coolidge strength pulled down to defeat a number of democratic ' state tickets and democratic members of congress who had been confident of election, but in New York Governor Alfred E. Smith withstood the handi cap of a sweep for the republican na tional ticket and bested his republican opponent for re-election, Theodore Roosevelt, by an estimated 100,000 plurality. Roosevelt came down from . the upstate districts with a lead that seemed for a time to make his election certain, but the metropolis rose to the occasion and repelled the invasion at its doorsteps. It was estimated the state's vote I would reach 3,750,000, the greatest in history, with women voting I . larger numbers than ever.
