La Follette Vote Shows
He Was Not As Pop-

3-cornered Fight
By DAVID LAWRENCE

(Copyright. 1924.)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 26~The po-
ticlans haven't, finished studying
the official figures of the Presiden-
Llal election just compiled and the
chances are they will not. finish for
many :nonil'rs to come. The final
claw. presents much food for
thought. and cannot but have a eig—
nlricant effect on the plans of indev
pendants [0‘ form a. permanent third
party organization.
Notwithstanding the great popul-
arity of Theodore Roosevelt he did
not. in 1912 poll as many votes as
did La. Folleue in 19:34 but allow-
ance must be made for the fact that
women did no: vote twelve year:
ago. The difference nevertheless
was only about 700,000 in favor of
La. Folleite. In spite of this La
Folleize received only 13 electoral
votes while Colonel Roosevelt re-
ceived 85, La l-‘ollette was third in
the popular vote as well as in the
elcczoral vote. Roosevelt ran second
in both electoral and popular vote.
The most important inference is
that. an independent of the type of
Roosevelt and an even more radical
individual like Senator La Follcue
doesn't .succ«.ed in capturing a ma-
Jorliy but. simply splits one of the
In 1913 the Demo-

the advantage of a s'pllt in the De-
mocratic party.
Mr. W‘llson in 1912 was. unable
however to poll a majority of the
popular vote while Mr. Coolidge
succeeded in rolling up a majority
over both his opponents of more
than 2,500,000 votes and of course.
in the electoral college had a. sub—
stantial majority.
Under the circumstances the pro-
blem of the progressives and inde-
pendents is to find a. way not only'
to combine the La. Follette and Da-
vis totals but to win back from the
Republican ranks the millions of
Demon-axis voters who strayed from
the fold because of a. fear of the
radicalism of La Follette or that the
election would be thrown into the
House of Representativea’for decis-
ion and that business would suffer
