Occasion- j ally there would be an argument a tout the McAdoo-Smltb dead btck and which would revive un- , pleasant thouvhts but fundamen tally there in a surprising num- ' br r of "original Davis uien" many of whom can. tell you In detail of the psychological impetus they Itave the Davis boom at the cri tical moment of its triumph. > It would be stretching the truth |jo say that an air of confidence l?r? A'rnls among the visitors here today over the outcome of the election. The outlook Is no full of possibilities that anything from n landslide to a freakish result Is contemplated as likely to happen. One outstanding re?w>n for this ir. the concern being shown over the growth of tho LaPollctte "niov. mWIt and there Is no little fear that the three-cornered flght may be thrown into the House of lb -preventatives for decision. While there Is no confidence of victory ingrained a* yet? though there is still time for that ? It is equally true that the men from Lhi; Went do jiot share the un bounded continence of the East 1 that it )fl all over but the shout ing nnd that t?oolldge will win. The Westerners talk of LaFolletle with a series of mathematical do- i duet ions, which If collected here and there would seem to indicate that the race West of the Missis nippl is between Davis and 1 .a Toi lette. Not a few of these West erners Insist that most of the radicals went into the Republican party when the Non-Partisan league began to function and that ^llunenota and North Dako ta are concrete examples of where the radical voters really af filiated There are some excep tions like Montana and Colorado where LaKollctte may poll many j more Democratic than HepubH- ! can votes, it Is suggested by Western h aders here, but by and large they talk of l^aFollette grabbing anywhere from 50 to 60 cent of the Republican Strength in which case a plural ity for Davis Is of course not 1m- , nosslble.
