Coolidge Ticket Leads Nearly 2 to 1, In Orpheum Circut Straw Vote Coolidge ha* an overwhelming lead in the Orpheum circuit straw vote for president, taken In all of lta vaude ville theater* during the week of October 12. Final figure* are: Cool idge and Dawes, 115,968; Davis and Bryan, 48,405; I* Foliette and Wheel er, 74,947. Of the 12 state* In which vote* were taken Coolidge carried 10—Cali fornia, Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, Minnesota, Washington, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. La Foliette carried his home state, Wisconsin, and Davis won in Louisiana. Though Coolidge carried the great est number of state*, in some of these the voting wa* very close. This is ‘particularly true In California, where he obtained 16,721 votes to 16,17* for La Foliette, while Davis secured only 2,311 In the coast state. Illinois Is another battleground. Judging by the totals, which give Coolidge 27,655, La Foliette 21,426 and Davis 9,555. La Foliette is particularly strong In the bigger cities. He carried San Francisco, getting 8,416 votes to 5,585 for Coolidge. In Chicago and Los Angeles only a slight margin sepa rated the two candidates. St. Louis was the only large city to declare for Davis, giving him 11,937 votes to 11,798 for Coolidge and 6,964 for La Foliette. Milwaukee went to La Fol iette by a rather heavy majority, and Kansas City, Mo., to Coolidge by one equally as large. Prices Show Difference. One of the most interesting things noted In connection with this election is the way the votes ran In cities where the Orpheum circuit operates more than one theater. In the con tinuous and outlying theaters, where seats are not reserved and popular prices prevail, La Foliette secured most of his votes, while in the reserved seat theaters In the same cities Cool ldge was the favorite. For Instance, at the Los Angeles Orpheum Coolldge got 8,828 votes to 1,708 for La Fol lette, and at the Hill street theater In the same city La Follette got 4,210 to 3,704 for Coolldge. At the Palace Music hall. Chicago, Coolldge more than doubled his opponent's vote, while In the outlying houses and the big State-Lake theater the Issue was either close or leaning to La Follette. The unusual Interest which this straw vote aroused In the entire wrest Is because the Orpheum circuit Is absolutely nonpartisan in Its attitude, thus Insuring an unbalsed poll among Its thousands of patrons from all walks of life. Also, because four of the six candidates are from territory encompassed by the Orpheum circuit. These are La Follette, Wisconsin; Dawes, Illinois; Bryan, Nebraska, and Wheeler, Montana. In each theater lobby In the dif ferent cities there was displayed an election barometer, giving the latest dally results, which were eagerly fol lowed by hundreds of people. Every patron attending an Orpheum circuit theater last week was given a ballot and asked to register his vote. The result Is very significant of the dif ference of opinion in the cities and states, and furnishes a fairly accurate basis of comparison for the coming election. * Total by State*.

The Family Laxative L.tr~r.rrr.^1 V Dawes Plan Will Aid Middle West So States Ambassador to Ger many on Visit to Omaha. The Dawn reparations plan Is acceptable to the German people and has saved Germany from a complete collapse and much misery. It Is a plan which win work, al though there may be need for some changes. It was the efforts of President Coolhlge that made the Dawes plan possible. In the United States the middle west will benefit most from the set tlement of the reparations question. These points were emphasized by Alanson B. Houghton, United States ambassador to Germany who Is In Omaha to speak tonight at a dinner given him by a group of Omaha busi ness men headed by Walter Head. Mr. Houghton explained that he was not here to talk politics. "Reports of the famished condi tion of Germany were true." he said. •'But Germany’s condition Is now Im proving. A year ago. out of 10,000, 000 Germany school children medical authorities stated that 52 per cent were undernourished and that 25 per cent were go badly undernourished that they would die without help. "Since the acceptance of the Dawes plan the need of emergency help has passed. "President Coolldge started the Dawes plan going and has driven It ; to Its successful adoption. The plan , is a governmental one, planned to ; give Germany a year's leeway. The I recent loan will enable Germany to , go on a gold basis for currency am1 permit the government to function - normally. “ But Germany Is bled white. There ! is very little active capital, although ! there are men and factories.' Money was drawing 24 per cent interest a year in September, If It could b* had at all. We have got to furnish cap ital for Germany. There Is even now a flow of capital from the United States and England into Germany which If not interrupted will get the Germans to work. "Germany Is a safe field for In vestment. The people are honest." Mr. Houghton Is a Harvard gradu ate, a student of economy and a for mer congressman from New York. While In congress he sei ed on the foreign affairs committee and on the ways and means committee. He was appointed ambassador to Germany In April, 1922, by the late President Harding. f An attempt to draw him out On the subject of tariff led to a simple state ment that the principal channels of commerce are not affected by tariffs. Asked If the reparation problem could not have been brought to a speedier settlement, he explained that It was first necessary to get the Issues out of politics. "But without the Dnwes plan there1 would he chaos In Germany," he re iterated. __ TALK ON HEALTH Mrs. Charlotte Townsend Whit comb, supervisor of health for the Omaha public schools, talked on "Health" at the regular meeting of the Lions' club Tuesday noon at the Fontenelle hotel.
