GAINS IN CONGRESS | PRESIDENT GETS 379 ELECTORAL VOTES TO 152 FOR TWO RIVALS Republican Popular Vote Placed at 18,000,000, Davis 8,000,600, La Follette 4,000,000. PROBABLE CONTROL OF HOUSE, GAINS IN SENATE, INDICATED Inability to Deliver Labor Manifest in Progressive Totals—Chief Executive’s “Safety” Wins All Classes. BY G. GOULD LINCOL The American people by overwhelming electoral and popular votes have elected Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts President nd Charles G. Dawes of linois Vice President. The electoral vote, giving to each candidate thz States in which the returns so far received show him to be leading, is as follows: Coolidge and Dawes—379. Davis and Bryan—139. La TFollette and Wheeler—13. The popular vote roughly estiriated gives Coolidge and Dawes, 18,000,000; Davi and Wheeler, 4,000,000. Included in the 379 electoral votes placed in the Coolidge column are several States about which there may be still some doubt, including Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Nevada and Arizona. The Davis lead in New Mexico is also slight. Reacting to the “common sense” and “safety first” pleas ad- vanced by the Republican leaders, the country definitely decided would have made the Congres the constitutionality of laws enacted. The La Follette vote was far below the total hoped for by his supporters. John W. Davis and Charles W. Bryan, the Democratic nom- inees for President and Vice President, failed to carry any State outside of the South. In Kentucky the Democratic ranks were smashed and the State apparently has gone for Coolidge and Dawes. In the struggle between the conservatives and the radi- cals the Democrats were jockeved into middle grounds, and both Republicans and Progressives drew from the party in large numbers.
