Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1920-11-02

sweeping victory for the republican
PARTY The first reports of the presi-
Dental election in eastern states be-
gan to arrive in Bonners Ferry at five
o'clock last night and these were near
" all favorable to Harding, the re-
publican nominee. His gains became
larger as more districts made reports
and it is now believed that he has been
elected by one of the largest majorities
ever given presidential nominee.
In nearly every state where there
was a contest for the u. S. senator
ship the republican nominees were
given large majorities. This means
that Harding will be supported by a
republican senate and house of repre-
sentatives. In Idaho the returns avail
able up to this morning gave Gooding
the election by several hundred ma
prity French and Smith won easily
The national election was an unmis-
taxable reputation of the Wilson poll
sies and is taken by the majority to be
q protest of the American voters
against the Wilson league of nations.
