WASHINGTON, Nov. a.
Revised and virtually complete
figures on the presidential cleo
ton of 1924 today destroyed
some of the popular illusions
that were held by political OBJ
servers prior to the vote of
Nov. a.
The popular vote, as now
compiled, falls considerably
short Of the estimated 30,000,-
600 mark and will barely exceed
the 26,000,000 mark established
in the Harding-Cox fight four
years ago.
These figures show that, despite the
strenuous efforts to get out the vote,
there are still millions of vote slack
ers," in addition to those denied the
vote.
Official returns from all states are
still lacking, but the vote has been
sufficiently tabulated to reveal some
interesting facts anent the election of
1924, which will be studied and pored
over by the political historian Of the
future.
Davis Beat cox-Downward
James NJ Cox, generally hailed as
the worst beaten" candidate in demo
cratic history, will have to yield to
John w. Davis, despite the fact that
President Coolidge ran considerably
behind Harding. Davis carried one
more state than Cox did, twelve
against eleven, but he ran more than a
million votes behind Cox in the popu-
lar vote.
Unofcial but fairly accurate totals
for the 1924 election are: Coolidge,
14.1OO,O0O; Davis 100000; La Fol
lette 100000.
The vote for minority tickets such
as Workers (Communist) Party, pro-
hibition, single tax, labor, American
ETC., will be necessary to bring the
1924 popular vote ahead of the 1920
figures.
On this basis Of virtually complete
tabulation it is shown that President
Coolidge ran ahead of Harding in II
states, California, Colorado, Connect
icut. Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Yer.
mont, Rhode Island, Wyoming, Florida
and South Carolina.

wyoming.
In most of these states, the com.
binsd total for LaFollette and Davis
exceeded the Coolidge vote.
LaFolIette Cut Into Davis
There are many indications that La.
toilette cut far more deeply into
Davis than into Coolidge. This Is
particularly true Of the border stat es
and the western states.
