As the figures which lias been undergoing some im-
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Illinois, the lead of the republican
nominees mounted steadily and both
the New York Times and the New
York World, supporters of John W.
Davis, early conceded his defeat by
Mr. Coolidge.
Davis and Bryan are shown by the
returns to be running second in the
popular as well as in the electoral
vote. 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.

poor third. With a scant handful of

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.
