REPUBLICAN VICTORY
A Real Landslide in Both Nation
And State
CORBIT FOR REPRESENTATIVE
One of the most sweeping Republican
victories in party history Tuesday
stood recorded for Senator Warren G..
Harding for President and Republi-
can Congress.
Tremendous and unparalleled Repub-
lican pluraIities beginning with the first
count of ballots in the election con-
tinued mounting during the week.
Defeat in their fight both for the
Presidency and Congress was conceded
early by Democratic national leaders on
the basis of the crushing Republican
vote, despite the absence, even early,
of final and official figures.
With the Presidency and Congress
went the loss to the Democrats Of
governors, State Legislatures and other
State and local candidates.
GAINS IN SENATE AND HOUSE
The Republican congressional swing
was strong, increased majoritles in both
Senate and House being marked up.
Early Wednesday victory for virtually
al! fifteen Republican senators for re-
election was spelled by the returns,
while about half dozen of the nine
teen Demo cratic candidates were bat
Ting against Republican leads.
The first trial of wo man suffrage con-
tributed largely to the Republican ma
jorlties, and q so was a factor in delay
ing the count in many States. The
millions of women's ballots also swelled
the popular vote recorded beyond all
records.
THE STATE TICKET
The large majorities given the state,
county and local Republican ticket on
Tuesday, were the largest ever recorded
in Delaware. This wonderful increase
is largely due to the loyalty of our
women, together with thousands of dis
satisfied male Democratic voters.

fiattering vote in st. Georges Hundred
as the Republican candidate for Repre-
sentative in the General Assembly, de-
