A 1920s argument over joblessness cites figures from Labor Department data and Republican claims. It notes unemployment, bank failures, bread lines, and editorials, contrasting Coolidge era stats with Wilson and Harding administrations, and mentions mission efforts aiding the unemployed.

Republicans Lower Their Expected Electoral Vote Count
Republican leaders led by Secretary Slemp have privately reduced the projected electoral votes for Coolidge to 235, still counting Indiana for Davis. The downward revision follows Davis tours across ten states and contradicts earlier 274 claim. Washington officials face warnings from Republicans like John Barrett about overestimating state results.

Electoral vote doubts temper Coolidge support
A historical note says Coolidge’s White House hospitality yields are not reliably credited. States once counted as certain for him such as Kentucky Missouri West Virginia Indiana Nebraska New Mexico Arizona Maryland and others are now seen as uncertain. California and Delaware also drop from the confident column leaving the tally well below a majority. Republicans shift some states from certain to doubtful in confidential vote tabulations.
