L JACKSON CLOSE © To LEAD IN THE . O¥ LEGISLATIVE RACE The La Follette question mark.' which has so perplexed both Repub-- | lican and Democrati¢ leaders, failed to be much of a question mark after all. This morning it apeared that the Wis-- consin -- insurgent carried but one state. his own. He rolled up substan-- tial popular votes in many states, but the size of these did not meet the ex-' pectations of his supporters. At 8 a. m.' with only a few Sutes' still in -- doubt, President -- Coolidge geemed assured of a vote in the o}eo-' toral college in excess of 350, against a necessary figure ot 266. ---- On the basis of returns at this hour Coolidge carried California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Jdaho, IMlinois, ';lndhm. lowa, Kansas, Kentucky, 'uflne.

FIRE AT FLEETING CAR "Tourists, evidentaily in need of gas, became bandits with such a~sud-- deness Tuesday night that Antloch, with one exception, is still wondering what took place. Hundreds of the local people had been getting their election returns from public radios and from. news bulleting, when it was discovered that four masked men had broken into the Main garage, owned by L . C. Maplethoryp. ' Horen could not get the NCense number of the car, and was never in ' a position where he could get a good 'jook at any of the men. Qutside po-- lllco forces weére notified immediately, but there is only a remote hope that ' they will be captured, as there is no tell tale loot about the car taken from John Horen, editor of the Antioch News, and an officer in the township, rushed to the garage, only to see the men take to their touring car and head borth. He gave chase, which ended near the state line where the machine was lost from view. During this time he had'drawn cJose enough to take several shots at the tires on the pursued auto, but the shots failed to take--eKect. * . It was found that the men had broker the handie from the gasoline tank and drained it. It was assumed that they were in need of gas and got the inspiration that a robbery would be novel and amusing. Inci-- dentally they broke into : the cash drawer and took about five dollars: Horen could not &et the license nimber of the car, and was never in the garage Charles Crapo, in the 9th, had con-- siderable trouble with his assistants. The women, who made up a half of his help, insisted on joshing him rather than counting the special prop-- ositions, At that the best sandwich-- es were to be procured in that pre cinct.

Most of the precincts are included and the missing ones will 'not alter the resulits in any case. Once more Lake County bas justi-- fied its reputation of being the ban-- ner Republican county of the State. Additional returns merely serve to show a greater victory for the Repub-- lican ticket. It was nothing short of a landslide. While Presigent Coolidge was pil-- ing up the biggest majority ever ac-- corded a> presidentia. candidatk in Waukegan and Lake County, Gover. nor Len Small was administering & crushing defeat to Norman L. Jones, the, democratic _ candidate. . Gov. 'Small's sweeping victory, despite the villifying attacks of his political op-- ponents is an undisputable -- vindica-- tion CIOT, ® SMALL'S BIG MAJORITY Lake County is proud of the splen-- did majority accorded Gov. Smail. With the exception of a few scattered precincts the entire county voted solidly for the good roads' advocate, and for his good roads program. The first precinct in Waukegan was the only one in the city which did not give him a substantial majority. Incomplete returns dindicated that Small would obtain a majority in Lake County of from 8,000 to 9,000. Lake County voted more than three to one for Deneen for United States senator to succeed Senator Medill McCormick. Deneen had a lead in Lake County of more than 7,000 with barely two--thirds of . the precinets heard from. Additidnal -- precinets will swell this lead. _ + l AIDs THE STATE TICKET The tremonduous Republican ma-- jority in Lake County helped to re-- elect Lieut. Gov. Fred E.
