 Political Contest in This City;
 COP. Gain Equals Democrats Loss
La Follettes Strength of Advantage to Republicans in
 Six Wards, Analysis Reveals

The very element the Democratic party had counted upon to bring about Its success in the presidential election here, the La Follette-Wheel- CT Progressive vote, was one of the biggest factor in putting the ticket far in the rear.
 Carrying off majority in every ward in the city, the Republicans ran S90 votes ahead of what was boiled by the ticket four years ago, while the Democrats dropped S67 votes in the rear. While it is true that a part of the Republican in- crease was the direct result of an Increased number of voters, 1t Is req Sonable to assume that the Demo- cratic ticket also benefited thereby. |The vote boiled this year was only 5S1 ballots greater than in 1920 and consequently could not have been a deciding factor. allowing for an al- most equal distribution between the tow major parties and the likel- hood that progressive party interest brought out at least some of the stay-at-homes of the last election.
 Instead of cutting deeply into the Republican lead, the Progressive vote drew it's greater strength from the Democratic poll, statistics indi- cate.
 In every ward in the city, not only was the normal republican vote ur- disturbed, but some increase was noted. while the Democratic returns showed cut in every one of six 
 First Ward
 The first ward poled 2a5t votes as against 2553 in 1920, an increase of 9S votes. The ward gave the Re- ticket lead of III votes over the 1920 figure and thoDemo. rats sustained a cut of 91.

 New Haven, Nov. 5.--The repub-
 lcan cleanup of elective offices in yesterdays election in Connecticut m View of pluralitics disclosed by re- labulatlon of the vote of the state overnight, was regarded by party members today as one of the most remarkable in the experience of the party in the state. By all it was also looked upon as in keeping with the showing of the party elsewhere tu he east.
 Wo places only had failed to re. port their votes up till a. m., those "elns the cities of Shelton and Derby which did not get settled Town to the count until well after the midnight hour, and at daybreak i'q not appear to be within several. hours Of finish.
 Exclusive of those two cit,es President Coolidge carried the state ny plurality of 145.259 over John W, Dalis.
 An Idea of The Vote
 Inc vote on the presidency based on the tigures of the first presiden- hal elector on the tickets was:
 Coolidge 252,8S2: Davis, 1o7.Gc3. and La Toilette on his own progress SlNe ticket, 37,I11. To the La Fol- 'ette vote may be added the vote "iso cast for him on the socialist t(cket and the side of which was oh- Scured for the time being by the avalanche of republican votes which seemed 10 make most observers in- dlnerent 10 the fact that the social lSt-labor and the workers parties mad state tickets, and somewhere in me state probably there was a hand.

 Comparison With 1g12
 IL was an interesting comparison 10 note that Theodore Roosevelt running as third party man on the progressive ticket in 1912 boiled 34l2S votes in Connecticut which was only 3,Qh0 under the La Toilette vote The Roosevelt vote in con- parison the total boiled yesterday, made a much more impressive show. ing. President Cooidge's plurality yesterday was about as much as the entire poll of all presidential candt. dates, exclusive of Roosevelt in 1912,
 The vote for Lieut.. Governor Bingham as opponent of Charles G, Morris democrat gave plurality of l25,S94 and was close to the plu- raIities of all the republican state nominees indicative of straight bal [ lot voting. For Lieut.. Governor Irumbull of Plainville. had q nIu- $ raIity of 12S,69"; Secretary of State i FalIotti, for reelection had a blu rality of 13o,747; Senator Ernest F, Rogers of New London for state treasurer had 131,0S6, and Conn. troller F, NJ.
