Y., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1924 was little indication before electiori ~that~fte~ta.il any support in this“ vP I cinity. Greenwich again maintained its position ns the banner Republican town of tlie county, although Kings bury, which gave Coolidge (a plural ity of 1127 was not so far behind as usual. It was evident early yesterday that the vote locally would be a big one The day was nearly perfect as an early November day can be. The roads were good, and automobiles were numerous and busy. Workers for both parties were zealous, and the result was that the bigger part of the vote was polled befere noon. Voting Machine Well Liked In Distri-ct No. 6 a voting machine was used for the first time in this town. It was generally approved by ' I the voters, who in spite of their lack ,. Enormous^Majority in Greater New York Carries Governor of familiarity with this manner of voting, had no difficulty in handling Victory as Impressive as Hatrding Election in 1920.

All of the “doubt- states -are-camrted - in- tbe- Re- ■lican column this morning, and in addition the Republicans have i made substantial pains in both houses of congress. Third party and insur- geant Republicans in xongress may still have a balnncc of power, but *1 their margin is reduced. Lafollette’s third party hopes have ’ gone glimmering. It is. probable that the Wisconsin senator has car- * .ed his own state, but nothing else. claims of his managers that he would run second in most of the ^ western states that ha failed to carry <* have been completely discredited. In most of the country LaFollette was d . poor third, and although he is in the lead in Wisconsin his plurality there will be slender. LaFollette does seem to have run second in ' Iowa, where his supporters confident ly claimed that he would score a vic tory, but he is beaten there by Cool idge by about two to one. j All of the northeastern states are in the Coolidge column, and seeming ly all of the west Mid middle-west except Wisconsin. Missouri is close between Coolidge and Davis. La Follette seoms to be second in Cali fornia, but he is far behind the presi dent. West Virginia, John W.

Those who heard him here about a year ago and who had also heard Caruso and McCormick compared the woick of Mr. Morton with these great singers of interna tional fame.
