The figures show that many thou
sand republicans voted a straight
ticket for Coolidge for president and
Blaine for governor. To the straight
ticket voters is due the fact that
Luech began to trail Blaine soon after
the count began.

plus the vote polled for Coolidge. plus
the advantage he gained due to the
fact that many Milwaukee voters
voted for Quick the socialist candi
date, Lueck would be ahead. at least
