Coolidge Leading,
La Toilette Second
The Literary Digest's First Vote
Tabulation Shows President
Leading Strong.

The most interesting feature in
the first returns in The Literary
Digest's poll of 100000 votes
published today is the remarkable
showing made by La Toilette.
A total vote of 1901 is tabulat-
ed for Coolidge, $3.50 for La
Toilette, and 1892 for Davis with
307 votes for the other five can
didates.
Only 25,766 ballots have been re-
turned at the date of publication but
these came from the pivotal states
of California, New York, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania, with La Toilette
running second in the first three and
Davis second in the last two.
In California, La Toilette is run
ming a strong second to Coolidge
having 1861 votes against the
Presidents 1924.
There would be an indication
here" The Digest states, that, in
California at least, both the Republi-
cans and Democrats are losing
heavily to the Progressive candidate,
with the Republicans, as the party
which polled the largest number Of
votes in the last election, the most
serious losers"
Coolidge" it continues, from
these earliest returns, appears to be
much stronger in Illinois, although
here, also, comparison of the votes
cast by these same voters in 1920
would seem to indicate a fall from
the large total vote rolled up by
Mr. Harding four years ago.
an Ohio, these first few votes
may be thought to suggest that Mr.
Coolidge is far stronger today than
his predecessor was in 1920.
pennsylvania, also, would seem
to be as firmly, or more firmly
planted in the Republican column.
1t must be remembered, of course,
that the present tabulation Of
ballots represents the merest
smattering of a return. In Pennsy-
lvania, for instance nearly million
ballots are being distributed, figure
which may be compared with the
present early return of less than
1000 votes from that state. Also,
these early returns must be accepted
with the additional proviso that
sections of Democratic strength are
not represented in the five first
states tabulated.
The Digest states that their poll
does not yet give any real evidence
Of a deadlock, but adds that 'such
Washington correspondents as David
Lawrence and Mark Sullivan are
warning the country, because Of the
chance Of a deadlock"
Our complicated machinery for
choosing a President" it continues,
may result in confusion, we are
told, in case none of the few candi-
dates receives a clear majority in
the Electoral College.
"The situation is further compli-
Gated by such electoral anomalies as
the fact that Georgia, with a popular
vote Of l54,O49 in the last election,
has fourteen electoral votes, while
New Jersey, with COS, 1913, has pre-
cisely the same nun Der Thus the
Northern State may be balanced in
the Electoral College by Southern
state with about one-sixth as many
young citizens"
Each ballot requested the voter
political preference at the last Presi-
Dental election and these are also
tabuIated in this issue Of The Digest
and analysed for comparison.

BY JIMMY MURPHY.

When the average American busi-

volving anywhere from $1,000 to
$4,000, he carefully Investigates the
matter from all sides and calls in ex-
pert advice on which he can depend.
if any phase of the subject seems to
be little beyond his personal expe-

hard-headed business man purposes
to invets similar amount Of money

down automobile row and buys the
vehicle that catches his fancy,
matches his wife's new furs or meets
some equally unessential condition.
Only the fact that all modern Ameri-
can cars are reasonably good pre-
vents the average buyer from being
stung every time he plumps down his
money. We shall try to indicate some
of the points that should always be

knows about what figure he can af-

to get list of all cars in the price

these he can narrow down his search

Satisfactory Buy Outlined.
To be a satisfactory buy, a car
must be manufactured by well es-
