"Permit me to congratulate

"on your sweeping victory and
TO express the hope that your
.ministration may by its suc-
d,ss inure to the welfare of the

President Coolidge sent this
reply:
"Please accept my thanks for
your message and my apprecia-
ton of the Datriotic sentiments

NEW YORK, Nov. 5:-The cleo
tion yesterday was a Republican
landslide. President Coolidge swept
the country. John w. Davis carried
the solid South and incomplete re-
turns also give Oklahoma and proba-
bly, New Mexico to him. President
Coolidge carried West Virginia, the
home state of the Democratic candi-
date. He also carried Maryland,
Delaware and Kentucky.
n President Coolidge today had
veither carried decisively or was lead
ing in every Pacific coast state.
California was giving him better
than two to one vote over LaFoll-
ette with Davis far behind. This may
be reduced somewhat as northern
California returns are completed.
In Arizona, Coolidge was leading
Davis and LaFollette.
Idaho seems safely for Coolidge.
!. !. In Montana the result was in
doubt but Coolidge had aoout 5000
plurality over LaFollette.
Oregon was overwhelmingly in the
Coolidge column.
Washington, considered a doubtful
state, seemed to have given Coolidge
a safe lead.
In Nevada. the Coolidge plural
ley was about 1000 and Republican
leaders claimed it by 1000.
The President has total of 354
votes in the Electoral College and 1t
may reach 375. Incomplete returns
from severa of the small Western
states prevent their being placed in
either column, but the final disposi-
Iion of them Will not affect the re-
suit.
President Qoolide, in the Middle
West, carried the states claimed by
"a Toilette with the exception of
Wisconsin Iowa and the two Dakotas
went Republican. Missouri may also
go to Coolidge.
New York's Heaviest Vote
In New York. President Coolidge
1t is estimated on the vote thus far
tabulated, will have a plurality of a
million in the heaviest vote ever cast
n the state.
Indications are that the Republi-
cans will have a working majority In
both branches of Congress. Many
! beats have been gained in the lower
Y house, and in the Senate incomplete
returns show the ain of three seats
which may make it possible to over
come the control of the upper house
by the La Toilette bloc.
The heavy undertow of this roar
ing tide of Coolidge strength pulled
down to defeat-a number OF Demo
cratic state tickets and Democratic
members of congress who had been
confident of election, but in New
York Governor Alfred e. Smith
withstood the handicap of a sweep
for the Republican national ticket
and bested his Republican opponent
for reelection, Theodore Roosevelt,
by an estimated 100000 plurality.
Roosevelt came down from the up
state districts with lead that SEEM

sion at It's doorsteps.
In Ohio another Democratic gov
ernor, Vic Donahey, battling with
similar handicap, was about holding
his own today in nip end tuck race
for reelection against the Republican
nominee, former Governor Harry l..
Davis. The sweep of the Coolidge
slide appeared, on the other hand,
to have reversed the expectations of
the wiseacres and to have landed Ed
jackson, the Republican gubernator-
ial candidate in Indiana, in the gov
ernor's chair at Indianapolis.
