Alarums and Excursion

Election day brought the campaign to an abrupt demise.

Candidate Coolidge terminated his inactive campaign by an Election eve radio speech inviting voters to vote-- and ceased to be a candidate.

Candidate Dawes made a last stumping tour through the East, hopped back to Missouri, ended with a finale in Indiana--and ceased to be a candidate, having traveled 17,000 miles.

Candidate Davis terminated his contest with a number of speeches in and about Manhattan. Like Coolidge, he made an Election eve radio address--and ceased to be a candidate.

Candidate Bryan ceased to be a candidate.

Candidate LaFollette followed a serpentine trail from Maryland through New York to Boston, to Pittsburgh, to Cleveland, attacking in turn the sugar trust, J. P. Morgan, the Standard Oil, the water power trust, "American Imperialism," Mellon Aluminum Interests--and ceased to be a candidate.

Candidate Wheeler went back through Illinois, Michigan, Ohio to Manhattan, completing his marathon speaking tour from coast to coast and back again--and ceased to be a candidate.
