Senator I.a F'olb-tt'-e was ahead only In Wisconsin, where he appear. -d to have established n bad that could not be overcome. I 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 senator-i senator-i ial seats away from the Democrats i anil one from the Farmor-Lahor party. i The Republican gains in the house were in the First New Hampshire district, Delaware at' large, and the Twelfth, Fourteenth. Nineteenth, Twenty-second and Thirtieth Pennsylvania. Penn-sylvania. The new congress will have at least one woman member. Mrs. Mary T. Norton, a reniocrat, was elected from the Twelfth New New Jersey. Tlie three Iemoeratie senatorial candidates who were trailing their Republican opponents in a fight for seats now held by Democrats were Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, opposed op-posed by Speaker Gillett of the hous" of representatives: Senator Stanley ' of Kentucky, opposed by Fred M. Sackett and J. C. Walton of Okla-j Okla-j homa, whose opponent is W. P.. Pine, j In Minnesota, Magnus Johnson, one ; of the two Farmer-I-abnr senators in congress, was trailing behind bis Re.

Walton, Democratic candi j date for the seats now held by Sena-j Sena-j tor Owen of Oklahoma, were traiiititr far behind their Republican oppon-! oppon-! ents. In New York state Governor Al'red j E. Smith apparently had won a re- j election over Theodore Roosevelt,, whose defeat had been conceded by! the Republican state chairman. ! Governor Donahey of Ohio, alsti n'; Democrat, was in the lead in his fight; for reelection, des-pite an indicated, heavy Coolidge majority in that state.' In Illinois Governor Small, Republican, Repub-lican, 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 i were Democrats and are the wives of j f( rmer governors of their states'. j The early concession of Iowa to ! 'President Coolidge by La F'ollotte j headuarters at Des Moines-, came as i "i surprise to many political observers observ-ers who expected Iowa to be one of 'he states possibly found in the La Follette column if the senator won I he electoral vote of any states be j eidns his home state, Wiscorr-in, and oo.vsibly Mi iines-oii and North Dako-I'a. Dako-I'a. The returns from North Dakota i Mp to midnicht Tuesday necessarily -tame from the cities and towns and I .vere only a very small percentage i .f the voting strength of the state. Thry gave President Coolidge a big lead. If they ran true to precedent, the president's lead would be reduce, I inl Senator I.a Follette's vote would be increased as thi rturns from th? .-outitry districts were tabulated. The first returns from Wisconsin, which has been regarded as the cor norstorio of the La Follette strength, gave Coolidge 41100 to 32X3 for La Follette, but the latter afterwards took the lead. Throughout most of the east the independent presidential candidate ran far behind, but on ear- , ly returns he was running second tJ Coolidge in both North and South Dakota. Da-kota. I Tirst reports from Iowa, which has been claimed as a La Foliette 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 Massa-chusetts, Massa-chusetts, was running far behind h'f j Republican opponent, Speaker Fred :rk-k H. Gillett, but was leading by ; i wide margin the national ticket of j us party. In Oklahoma, despite the Davis- lead, J. C. Walton, running on ' an anti klan platform as Democratic i candidate for senator, was trailing hU Republican opponent. Mrs. Miriam ! Ferguson, the Democratic anti klan . candidate for governor of Texas, was the lead, but Cariton B. McCul j lough, Democratic candidate for gov-i gov-i ?rnor of Indiana and outspoken op , por.ent of the klan, was running be-', be-', hind his Republican opponent, Ed 1 lackson. J I In Kansas, William Allen White,' running for governor on an independ I er.t anti klan platform, was third in his three-cornered race against the I regular Democratic and Republican j lomir.ees. In a!!, thir'y four states were elect ing governors, but in most cases there were local complications and -ross- currents of political opinion whi'h led sophisticated politicians to v:thbold predictions on the basis of the fragmentary early returns. Encouraged by the vote polled by Senator La F'ollotte in the east, Chi cago headquarters of the La F'ollotte Wheeler movement announced that their political organization would bn kept intact for another try in the congressional con-gressional elections of l'J26 and the presidential contest of 1928. In some parts of the country the drift to Coolidge was so overwhelm ng that it threatens to rival thr Harding landslide of 1020. Mr. Hani-ittg's Hani-ittg's own voting precinct in Marion was carried by his successor by a 'arger majority than it gave its na ive s-.in four years ago. In his own home state, Massachu setts, Mr. Coolidi'e was leading Davis Da-vis by a ratio of almost four to one; T'd I.a F'ollotte by almost fourteen 'o o' e; in Maine, also, the Coolidge dvantage over Davis was almost four o one; in Rhode Island more than hiee ti one; in New Hampshire, iore than two to one, and in Con 'ect:cut, mor" than two to one. Both in up state New York and in New-York New-York City the president was ahead f Mr. Davis, althoui.h the city gave the Democratic nominee a far great-r great-r proportion of its vote than did -ither sections of the slate. Short'y after 10 p. m., castrrn itandard time, the New York Times, another Democratic paper, conceded 'he election of Coolidge, but predicted 'hat Smith would be retained in the 'ovinmr's (hair at Albany by 100,-100. 100,-100. On the f.-o-e of the first returns from New Jersey, n very early nod small return, Coolidge was lending Davis four to one. In Ohio, with 170,000 votes counted, Coolidge had a lead of 60,000 over Davis and of 85,000 over La Follette. In Penn sylvania, one of the rock-ribbed Republican Re-publican states, the president received five votes to one for Davis with La Follette making a close race for sec ond place. Delaware's first reports gave Coolidge Cool-idge more than five to one over Da vis. In Kansas the ratio stood at three for Coolidge to one for Davis In Indiana, with about one-twentieth of the state counted, the Coolidge lead was 20,000. New Y'ork, While the Republicans will organize the next senate, on the face of early returns, Senator La Foliette, Fol-iette, with his group of followers, will retain the balance of power. Indications are that the lineup will be: Republicans, 50; Democrats, 44; Farmer-Labor, 2. 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, in-fluence, 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 Re-publican candidates have the advantage advan-tage in some states heretofore carried j by the Democrats. For instance, W. B. Pine, Republican, Republi-can, seems certain of election in Ok- lahonia over Governor J. C. Wal- I i ton, the Democratic candidate, while j in Kentucky Fred M. Sackett, Republican, Repub-lican, is running neck and neck with M. O. Stanley. From the states in which the Dem-I Dem-I ocrats were hopeful of gaining ; enough seats to capture control of the J Republican managers likewise were without accurate information from i the districts in which they expected to get enough seats to gvie them an actual, as well as a nominal, majority. major-ity. The La Follette Progressive bloc ippeared to be holding its own, with probable gains. I Boise, Idaho, Idaho gave Calvin j Coolidge a landslide vote and when ' i quarter of the votes in the state j -.ad been counted it seemed apparent that Charles C. Moore, Republican covernor, would be reelected by a plurality of 10,000 votes. Governor Moore himself expressed confidence :hat this would be the result. Senator Borah, as was expected, piled up a heavy majority against his Democratic opponent, Frank Martin, j The vote was nearly four to one, Rcp-' Rcp-' reser.tative Addison T. Smith was ;ure of his place and Representative Burton L. French, though hard press d by Perry Mitchell, Democratic-Progressive '"fusion" candidate, had bet-er bet-er than an even chance of success. The entire suite Republican ticket -ill probably be carried into office by Coolidge ar.d Moore. Returns from U2 precincts in Idaho Ida-ho give: Coolidge, 10S27; Davis, 5G70; .a F'ollotte, H,yo;i; 220 precincts give: Moore, 18,5,19; Fn-ehafcr, GI37; Sam-;e's, Sam-;e's, 1.1.029. The Republican congressional dele .'ation seems to be elected, Borah and Smith being certain. The st-ate Re-vjblican Re-vjblican ticket will be carried in with Moore, the tabulators say. Montpelier, Yt., President Calvin "oolidge's own state, where he was born and reared, gave him a tremcn-ious tremcn-ious vote. The president, with con iderably more than half of the 218 towns and cities already tabulated, ens running five to one ahead of lohn W. Davis, and more than thir-cen thir-cen to one ahead of a F'olb tte. With 217 cities and towns out ot he 218 in the Green Mountain state already completely counted, Mr. Cool-I Cool-I dge had received 07.S116 votes-, Mr. Davis 13,491, and Mr. La Follette '.139. Martin, Democratic candidate for overnor, was running far behind his '.epublicnn opponent, Lieutenant Gov-rnor Gov-rnor Billings, although Martin was running behind the lead of his tick t. Billings, with 217 cities and towns out of 218 in the slate, had re-eived re-eived 03.518 votes-, to votes, to 14.930 "or Martin.
