on returns from about one.eighth or
Ohio's S,400 precincts had built up a
lead Of better than two to one over
John w. Davis early. Senator Robert
NJ. LaFollette on these returns was
running third, with about half as
many votes as Davis. However, the
totals included only meager reports
from the centers Of population, where,
it has been admitted, LaFollette will
get most of his strength.
The figures for 1880 precincts were:
Coolidge, 144,491; Davis, $1,000; La
Toilette, 25,OS0.
Boston. - Returns from little less
than one-fourth Of the 1882 election
precincts in the State gave Coolidge a

chusetts. LaFollette in these pre-

given Davis.

out of 274 il. Hcston and ESQ precincts
