Complete Popular Vote Will Reach 26,000,000 Mark Figure This Year Will Barely Exceed That of Four Years Ago; Coolidge Total Is 14,100,000. Washington, Nov. 14.—Revised and ( Virtually complete figures on the i presidential election of 1324 today de t stroyed some of the popular illusions , that were held by political observers j prior to the national march to the i polls on November 4. ■ For one thing, the popular vote, as now compiled, falls considerably short , of the .10,000.000 mark estimated by , the various campaign managers, and , ln the final analysis will barely ex I Cted the 26,000.000 mark established i In the Hardlng-Cox fight four years ! »go. These figures show that, despite , Ike strenuous and in many Instances ■non partisan efforts to get out the vote, there are still millions of , “vote slackers” who refuse to allow a presidential contest to interfere with their pleasure or routine of life. Official Returns Lacking. Official returns from all states are •till lacking, but the vote today hnd been sufficiently tabulated to reveal ( some Interesting facts nnent the epochal election, 1024, which will lie studied nnd poured over by the polit ical historian of the future. James M. Cox has been generally hailed as "the worst beaten” candi date in democratic history. Yet tho ’ final returns for 1024 will give this ; palm to John W. Davis, despite the fact that his republican opponent, ' President Coolidge, ran considerably . behind Harding. Davis carried one more state than Cox did, 12 against ' 11, but he ran more than a million votes behind cox in the popular vote. Unofficial but fairly accurate to , tals for the 1024 election are: Coolidge, 14,100,000; Davis, 6,000, • O0; La oFllette, 4,300,000. The vote • for minority tickets such as prohibi tion. single tax. socialist, labor, ; American, etc., will be necessary to bring the 1324 popular vote ahead of '• the 1920 figures. Coolidge Leads Harding. On this basis of virtually complete ’ tabulations, which all parties agree is probably accurate, It Is shown that President Coolidge ran ahead of Harding in 17 states, California, Colo rado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, 1 Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi gan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, 1 Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ver • mont, Wyoming, Florida and South Carolina. , Coolidge ran behind Harding In SI I states, Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Mis souri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Ok lahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Ten nessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, 1 West Virginia, Wisconsin, Alabama, Arkansas.

Wheel Tax Plate to Be Abolished State License to Represent Re ceipt for Payment of City Tax. Automobile owners living In Omaha will not be required to apply at the city clerk's office hereafter for wheel tax plates. The nevr plan, contemplated In an ordinance which will be offered to city council by City Commissioner H. W. Dunn, provides that begin ning with the new year every mo torist who spplies for a state auto mobile license at the county treas urer’s office will be required to pay the Omaha wheel tax at the same time. Under this system the appearance of a state license plate on an auto mobile owned In Omaha will mean that the wheel tax has been paid. It has been the custom to Issue separate wheel tax plates at the city clerk’s office. Tho new ordinance provides for the allowance of $1,550 to the county treasurer for another clerk to handlo the wheel tax part of the automobile license fees.

The land of canals, dikes, windmills and | odd customes. The little Hollander does not have the good times at school that the American child has. School is a very serious place in this little country. There are no games or sports in the lower schools and few in the higher ones. The rules are very strict and the children behave wonderfully. There are few uneducated people in Holland because all children from seven to fourteen are made to attend the primary and elementary schools which are very fine and free, the Gov ernment runing them absolutely. Twice n year inspectors drop in on schools unexpectedly and give examinations in all studies. How would you like to go to school in Holland?
