Heavy Vote Cast on Amendments

Minneapolis = Expected indiffer-

was conspicuously lacking in returns.
Indications were that the proposed
amendments One and Four would win
handily.
No. 1 authorizes the state to put
money derived from gasoline tax on
highway work rather than into the
general revenue fund.
No. 4 paves the way for the legisla-
ture to adjust taxes so as to encourage

AS was expected, the big sweep
started in New England. Old New
England gave Calvin Coolidge won
derful tribute. His home state of
Massachusetts rolled up the vote.
Maine and Connecticut and little
Rhode Island and New Hampshire
and Vermont, his birthplace, all came
through for Calvin.
And then it came to New York.
The Empire state, with 40 electoral
votes more than any other state in
the Union, went for Coolidge.
New York for Coolidge.
Upstate New York came in with a
vote that was hardly conceivable. 1t
was Coolidge everywhere. The esti-
mates are that Coolidge will carry
New York by approximately 1,OOO,-
900 votes.
Coolidge carried New York. He
carried it big. He cinched 40 cleo
toral votes there. Even in New YORK
City the Coolidge vote was marvellous.
1t was more than any one expected.
Manhattan is not in the habit of CIV
it gave it to Coolidge.
WAGON Rolls Westward.
: Pennsylvania, of course, was expect
ed to go for Coolidge. 1t did. 1t went
strong. That meant 3S more cleo
toral votes. Then came Ohio Ohio
went strong. That meant "a more
votes in the electoral college. The
votes were piling up as the trend came
westward.
Illinois Goes Coolidge.
The band wagon was rolling on the
land of the West. Illinois, with 70
electoral votes, went for Coolidge and
Dawes. 1t was expected. But the
vote was large. Chicago gave the Re-
publicans a real vote. Down state II
linois did the same. Illinois went into
the Coolidge column with a bang.
Iowa Comes In.
Into the West the bandwagon rolled.
Iowa, grave concern to Republican
leaders in the past few weeks, was
for Coolidge. Iowa has IL electoral
votes.
Kansas, Sunfower state, went for
Coolidge by large majority. 1t is
estimated now that Coolidge will car
~ Kansas by 100000 or more.
Davis Showing Poor.
John w. Davis made a poor show
ing. He made a showing which he,
the most distinguished and able Dem
ocrat in America, did not deserve. He
carried the solid South That was to
be expected He carried some states
in the South which James Nj. Cox
lost four years ago. But his showing
is poor In electoral votes he beats
LaFollette. But that is only because
the Old Confederacy still sticks to the
party of Jefferson and Jackson.
