expectation that he would break the
startling record made by the Roose-
welt third party in 1912 He accepted
the support of the Socialist party,
controlling about 100000 votes. He
had the Endorsement of the American
Federation of Labor, which promised
the delivery of several million union
workers. The Steuben Society of AM
erica offered him 100000 German
American votes. He banked on a far
mer protest vote of at least a couple
of millions. 1t was formidable COM
bination-on paper.
Tuesdays vote told a different tale.
Roosevelt carried six States-Penn-
sylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, South
Dakota, Washington and California,
with eighty-eight electoral votes. La
Toilette has carried one-Wisconsin,
with thirteen votes. Roosevelt's pop
ular vote was 4,169,482. La Follette's
will be little if any larger. But the
electorate has doubled in size since
1912. The percentages show the ex-
tent of the La Toilette fiasco. Roose-
welt received 30.2 per cent of the vote
for the three leading candidates in
1912. La Toilette, even with the So
cialist contribution, received only Is
per cent of the vote for the three
leading candidates this year.
Roosevelt, besides carrying six
States, ran second in twenty-three
others. La Toilette, carrying one, ran
second in only twelve others. Roose-
welt beat Taft by 1894 votes and
was only 2,123,168 behind Wilson. La
Toilette ran third and is 100000
behind Davis and nearly 100000
behind Coolidge.
La Toilette deceived himself in
thinking that an election could be
won by the same tactics as he had
used to build up his bloc in Congress.
In Congress deals could be made and
votes delivered because the scale of
operations was so small But deals
of self-interest will not bear the light
of long, nationwide campaign. The
Wisconsin Senator was handicapped
by his contradictory commitments. He
was thrown on the defensive from the
start, and when he tried to hedge he
lost votes from both wings of his fol-
lowing. He could not be radical
enough to please the Socialists and at
the same time moderate enough to
satisfy the farmer and the American
of German sympathies. To placate
his railroad labor supporters he had
to hang around his neck the milestone
of government ownership and opera
ton of transportation and water pow
er utilities.
When farm prices rose his case
with the farmer was lost. AS soon as
he began to slip visibly his more cal
culating labor allies deserted him.
Toward the end he was merely con-
tributing to make Coolidge's victory
more inevitable and impressive.
AS the chieftain of an American
third party La Toilette was gro
tesque failure. Even General James
B. Weaver, the Populist third party
candidate. in 1892, captured twenty
two electoral votes, although he re-
ceived only about 8 per cent of the
popular vote for the three leading
Presidential candidates.-New York |
