UTAH Coolidge and Dawes are Elected by Large Majority A D In 1849 Los Angeles, Cornelius Cole, former United States senator, 102 years and 2 months of age, survivor of the most striking and picturesque period in the history of California the era of the placer miner, the Vigilantes, the pony express and the transcon tinental railway builders; of momentous political and social controversies, startling crimes and summary punishments, died at his residence here. The direct cause of death, physicians announced, was incipient pneumonia, old age and a touch of heart disease. He had been in frail health for several months, so much so that celebration of his- last birthday was limited to members of the family aft his residence. Mr. Cole, who celebrated the ,102nd anniversary of his birth September 17, 1924, arrived in California when he was 27 years' of age, and became a member of the first party to reach the Sacramento valley overland from the east in the rush of 1849. ujr Calvin dge New l'ork, Campaign managers for John W.

Lj In the congressional election, with a few more than half of the returns in, the Republicans had made a net gain of seven in the house and were in a fair way to take three senatorial seats away from the Democrats Farmer-Labo- r and one from the party. The Republican gains in the house were in the First New Hampshire district, Delaware at large, and the Twelfth, Fourteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-secon- d and Thirtieth Pennsylvania. The new congress will have at least one woman member. Mrs. a Democrat, was Mary T. Norton, elected from the Twelfth New New Jersey. The three Democratic senatorial candidates who were trailing their Republican opponents in a fight for Democrats were seats now held by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, opposed by Speaker Gillett of the house of representatives ; Senator Stanley of Kentucky, opposed by Fred M. Walton of OklaSackett and J. C. homa, whose opponent Is W. B. Pine. In Minnesota, Magnus Johnson, one senators In of the two Farmer-Labo- r congress, was tralling.behind his Reopponent. Representative publican Thomas C. Schall. No definite overturns had been reported in the senate, although Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, and J. C. Walton, Democratic candidate for the seats now held by Senator Owen of Oklahoma, were trailing far behind their Republican opponents. In New York state Governor Alfred E. Smith apparently had won a reelection over Theodore Roosevelt, whose defeat had been conceded by the Republican state chairman. Governor Donahey of Ohio, alsa a Democrat, was in the lead in his fight for reelection, despite an indicated heavy Coolidge majority in that state. In Illinois Governor Small, Republican, kept a comfortable margin over his Democratic adversary. In two states, Texas and Wyoming, women candidates for governor were ahead, on the face of returns. Both were Democrats and are the wives of fcrmer governors of their states-- . The early concession of Iowa to President Coolidge by La Follette headuarters at Des Moines?, came as a surprise to many political observers who expected Iowa to be one of the states possibly found in the La Follette column if the senator won he electoral vote of any states be sides his home state, Wisconsin, and possibly Minnesota and No7h Dakota. The returns from North Dakota up to midnight Tuesday necessarily came from the cities and towns and were only a very small percentage t the voting strength of the state. Thfy gave President Coolidge a big lead. If they ran true to precedent, the president's lead would be reduced and Senator La Follette's vote would be Increased as the rtums from the country districts were tabulated. The first returns from Wisconsin, which has been regarded as the cornerstone of the La Follette strength, gave Coolidge 4300 to 3283 for La the east the independent presidential enndidate ran far behind, but on early returns he was running second to Coolidge in both North and South Dakota. First reports from Iowa, which has been claimed as a La Follette state by his campaigning managers-- , showed Coolidge with a majority over the combined vote of Davis, and La Fol lette, who were running neck and neck for second place. Senator Walsh, Democrat of Massachusetts, was running far behind hi? Republican opponent, Speaker Fred erick H. Gillett, but was leading by a wide margin the national ticket of his party. In Oklahoma, despite the Davis-- lead, J. C. Walton, running on an anti-klaplatform as Democratic candidate for senator, was trailing his Republican opponent. Mrs. Miriam Ferguson, the Democratic anti-klacandidate for governor of Texas, was in the lead, but Carlton B. McCul lough, Democratic candidate for governor of Indiana and outspoken op ponent of the klan, was running behind his Republican opponent, Ed Jackson. In Kansas-- , William Allen White, running for governor on an independent anti-klaplatform, was third in d his race against the regular Democratic and Republican nominees. In all, thirty-fou- r states were elect ing governors, but in most cases there were local complications and of political opinion which led sophisticated politicians to withhold predictions on the basis of the fragmentary early returns. Encouraged by the vote polled by Senator La Follette in the east, Chicago headquarters of the La Follette Wheeler movement announced that their political organization would be kept intact for another try in the congressional elections of 1926 and the presidential contest of 1928. In some parts of the country the drift to Coolidge was so overwhelming that it threatens to rival the Harding landslide of 1920. Mr. Harding's own voting precinct in Marion was carried by his successor by a larger majority than it gave its native son four years ago.. In his own home state, Massachusetts, Mr. Coolidge was leading Davis by a ratio of almost four to one; and La Follette by almost fourteen to one; in Maine, also, the Coolidge advantage over Davis was almost four to one; in Rhode Island more than three to one; in New Hampshire, more than two to one, and in Connecticut, more than two to one. Both in up state New York and in New York City the president was ahead of Mr. Davis, although the city gave the Democratic nominee a far greater proportion of its vote than did other sections of the state. Shortly after 10 p. m., eastern standard time, the New York Times, another Democratic paper, conceded the election of Coolidge, but predicted that Smith would be retained in the governor's chair at Albany by 100,-00- In addition, Mr. Davis was lending on the face on Incomplete returns In New Mexico, with 3 votes.

While La Follette will not add to his strength in the senate, his little group of six faithful supporters will enable him to wield a tremendous influence, if he is not in a position to actually dictate legislation. It is assumed on early returns that two of his followers up for reelection Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa and Magnus Johnson of Minnesta will be returned. Despite their optimistic forecast, it appears that the Democrats have failed to cut in on the Republicans in doubtful states. In fact, it would seem that the Republican candidates have the advantage in some states heretofore carried by the Democrats. For instance, W. B. Pine, Republican, seems certain of election in Oklahoma over Governor J. C. Walton, the Democratic candidate, while in Kentucky Fred M. Sackett, Republican, is running neck and neck with M. O. Stanley. From the states in which the Democrats were hopeful of gaining enough seats to capture control of the Republican managers likewise were from without accurate information the districts in which they expected to get enough seats to gvie them an actual, as well as a nominal, majority. The La Follette Progressive bloc appeared to be holding its own,' with probable gains. Boise, Idaho, Idaho gave Calvin Coolidge a landslide vote and when a quarter of the votes in the state had been counted it seemed apparent that Charles C. Moore, Republican governor, would be reelected by a plurality of 10,000 votes. Governor Moore himself expressed confidence that this would be the result. Senator Borah, as was expected, piled up a heavy majority against his Democratic opponent, Frank Martin. The vote was nearly four to one, Representative Addison T. Smith was sure of his place and Representative Burton L. French, though hard pressed by Perry Mitchell, Democratic-Progressiv- e '"fusion" candidate, had better than an even chance of success. The entire state Republican ticket vill probably be carried into office by Coolidge and Moore. Returns from 192 precincts in Idaho give: Coolidge, 16827; Davis, 5670; La. Follette, 11,909; 220 precincts give: Moore, 18,559; Freehafer, 6437; Samuels, 15,029. The Republican congressional delegation seems to be elected, Borah and Smith being certain. The state Republican ticket will be carried in with Moore, the tabulators say. Montpelier, Vt., President Calvin Coolidge's own state, where he was born and reared, gave him a tremendous vote. The president, with considerably more than half of the 248 towns and cities already tabulated, was running five to one ahead of John W. Davis, and more than thirteen to one ahead of a Follette. With 217 cities and towns out ot the 248 in the Green Mountain state already completely counted, Mr. Coolidge had received 67,836 votes, Mr. Davis 13,491, and Mr. La Follette 5139. Martin, Democratic candidate for governor, was running far behind his Republican opponent, Lieutenant Governor Billings, although Martin was running behind the lead of his ticket. Billings, with 217 cities and towns out of 248 in the state, had received 63,548 votes, to votes, to 14,930 for Martin. Marion, Ohio, President Cool'.dge ccrried the home precinct of the late i?
