Race EW YORK, Nov, Coolidge has swept the country for re-election and according to United Press returns at a late hour today has taken with him to Washington a clear working majority in both house and senate. Le Follette Declares He Is Dedicated For Life In For ADISON, Nov. a statement Senator Robert M. La Follette today commented upon the result of the election as follows: election of Calvin Coolidge by a landslide is apparent from the returns now in.

The people have chosen to retain in power the reactionary Republican administration with its record of corruption and subservience to the dictates or organized monopoly. Progressives will not be dismayed by this result We have just begun to fight. There can be no compromise on the fundamental issues for which we stand. The loss in this one battle in the long struggle of the masses against the privileged few is but an incident. more complete returns are The scope of his victory is told in the definite indication that at available it is impossible to fore- least 30 states with a total electoral vote of 379, swung into the Coolidge column, while John W.

Davis appeared to have captured but, 13 southern states, including Tennessee, for a total of 139. Senator La Follette had such a lead in Wisconsin on the basis of convincing returns early today that his home 13 electoral votes seemed to be safely his. There remained In doubt Nevada and New total of 10 electoral votes all of which appeared likely to go into the Coolidge column. Great as were pluralities, however, he was unable to prevent the victory of two popular democratic state A1-Smith of New York and Governor Vic Donahey, of Ohio. Coolidge failed to measure up to Warren G.

landslide in New York four years ago but it was an overwhelming victory nevertheless in the Empire state and that Smith should be returned by nearly 200,000 majority, testified to the tremendous popularity. There were tnvo flops in normally Democratic states which demonstrated the fickleness of politics. Four years ago Tennessee shattered the faith of her party when she dropped her 12 electoral votes into the arms of Harding. The same year Kentucky, after a brief experiment with Republicanism, returned to the Democratic fold and voted for Cox. Yesterday, however, both states reversed themselves again.

Tennessee returned to the Democratic column while Kentucky went over to Coolidge. By the time half the districts in Missouri had reported a strong Coolidge swing had set in there also. He iwas leading by over 20,000 and it appeared the state would' add its 18 electoral votes to the column, making his probable total at least 372 votes. La showing was a disappointment to his friends. He did, however, poll a large popular vote and appeared to have won second honors in California, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, North and South Dakota, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana $nd ran strongly in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio.

cast wrhat the reaction of this result will be upon the Progressives with regard to the future.
