Davis had made, certain of 139 electoral .votes, mostly from the roek- robbed Democratic states of the solid South. Davis was in lead 1n Mis souri and seemed to have that 8Lr> safely stowed in his war bag-f-but Missouri was not counted in his total. In Oklahoma Davis held and apparent ly safe majority, whllo Jack Walton, Democratic nominee for United State* senator, wg* burled beneath a land/ sH^frsqfwetefco^t for his RepihlhgjMt “opponent Pine. La Follette, whose candidacy was • menacing specter to leaders of both old parties throughout the campaign, won out in only one state, Wisconsin. His chances seemed slim elsewhere, with the possible exception of Minne sota and Washington. Even his pop ular vote fell far below he figures his managers had confidently expect ed even In their most pessimistic mo meats. . - In the senatorial races the Repub licans apparently have annexed two new seats—one in Massachusetts, now held by David I. Walsh, and another in Kentucky, held by Senator Stan ley. Walsh was defeated by Frederick H. Gillette, speaker of the House, and favorite of President Coolidge. In New York A1 Sfnith overcame an early upstate lead given his Republican opponent and has been conceded elec ted *by the Republican chairman?* In Texas "Ma” Ferguson seems to lack only the formality of being “sworn in” to become the first woman governor of any state in the union. Her Republican opponent declines to concede her election but she had (roll ed up an apparently safe majority. In Kansas the spectacular editor of The Emporia Gazette ran third in a three-cornered race for the governor ship. Ben S. Paulen was elected over the present Democratic governor, Jon athan M. Davis. Paulen' was reputed to be the- candidate Of the Ku Klux Klan. . _ In Idaho Senator Borah won over his opponent in easy fashion, his .vic tory being Conceded shortly after the returns began to.aome in. Iowa, branded as a most uncertain state before election, showed little uncertainty in rolling up a big Cool idge majority. La Follette headquar ters conceded the state -to Coolidge before one-tbird of the returns were in. * The only comment Clem L. Shaver, Democratic national chairman, would would offer on the apparent Coolidge- Dawes victory was this : "Remember 1918."% Chairman Butler, of the Republican national committee, contented himself with saying: “I told you so." Neither President Coolidge, , Mr. Davis nor Senator La Follette would make any comment on the outcome of the election.
