SAYS DEMOCRATIC CITY
BOSTON TO GO G. 0. P.

New York, Oct 15.-"The republicans
will sweep New England, carry the
democratic city of Boston, will be re-
elected in New Hampshire, and will re-
turn Senator Brandegee in Connecti-
cut" said Calvin Coolidge, of Massa =
chusetts, in a statement to newspaper
men at the Waldorf-Astoria today.
Gov. Coolidge declared there was no
detection from the republican ranks in
New England, as Is being claimed by
the democrats. He said:
Speaking broadlE-and | have talked
with many men who are going to vote
the republican ticket for the first time
their reason Is universally stated in
these words:
"'We are tired of the democratic ad-
ministration' Men from all over the
nation tell me that. There is the feeling
everywhere that the democratic admin
istratiOn has failed"
RevertnE to the election outlook in
some of the states, Gov. Coolidge said :
1--WE have n very good chance Of win
ming Kentucky better than an even
chance in Tennessee, and very good
chance in Marylad.
Il doubt if we have any chance in
Virginia"
