Sweeping over Point Loma at 10:45 o'clock last “night, the Shen- andoah completed its westward flight at 1140 o'clock when Commander Zachary Lansdowne brought his giant command to a mooring mast on thé landing field at North Island. The dirigible is scheduled to leave on its northward cruise along the Pacific coast for.Camp Lewis to- day.

Returns have now been receiy- ed from 42 states but the Digest calls attention to the fact that the southern states have been tardy in returning their ballots. Their returns will swell the Davis vote to.a higher Cgure. nol ? Davis is now leading in nine states and La Follette is still carrying Wis.
