ELECTS COOLIDGE
Many State Contests Are Fea-
tured by Close Votes-Re-
turns Come Slow.

In the largest vote ever cast in
the nation, the people on Tuesday re-
turned the Republican party to power
by a decisive vote, and elected the
standard bearers, Calvin Coolidge and
Charles w. Dawes by the largest
popular majority ever given a candi-
date for the presidency.
Not only did the entire eastern dis
trict of the nation 90 solid for the
President, but he made a surprising
run in the middle west where the
third party strength was supposed to
be the greatest.
While the returns at the hour of
going to press are far from complete,
It appears that Senator Robert M. La.
Toilette only carried one state, his
own Wisconsin, in his Independent
race for the presidency. Two or three
more of the middle and far western
states are yet in the doubtful column,
but the returns are complete enough
to assure Coolidge of almost as large
an electoral vote as President Hard
ing received four years ago. John w.
Davis, the Democratic nominee, ran
poor third and only carried the solid
south, some Of the border states on
the dividing line that were thought to
be for Davis swinging to the Coolidge
column. ..-
The latest figures available show
that Coolidge carried Colorado, Cali
fornfa, Connecticut. Delaware, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,.
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Neb-
raska, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylva.

Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming.
South Dakota.
Davis carried Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississip-
pi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia.
LaFollette carried Wisconsin, while
Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
New Mexico and North Dakota were
yet in the doubtful column. with the
probability that Coolidge would carry
most of these.
State Results In Doubt.
In Minnesota, while it Is practical
