ent, will be over 100000 if returns
which are yet to come maintain the
same ratio as those already counted
Returns from 1900 precincts out of
1884 for president give Harding 516,-

CART, 371,OO9; 1899 precincts for gov
ernor McCray, 49,843; McCulloch,

Late returns today made practically
certain the reelection of Oscar T.
Bland and Everette Sanders. Republi
cans, as congressman from the Second
and Fifth Indiana congressional dis
tricts. There remained close contests
in the Third and Fourth districts,
where J. ]. Dunbar and John S. Ben

by small pluralities with approximate

The Republicans seemed sure Of IN

Returns on Other Parties.

showing the vote on the other party

There was little evidence in the

With the single exception of the

doubt with Governor Smith leading
on the face of actual returns but the
potential figures for the missing dis
tricts indicating the election of his
Republican opponent, Nathan r. Mil

In the eighth congressional district
King Swope, Republican incumbent,
apparently was losing to his Demo
cratic apponent, Judge Ralph w. Gil
bert. Last unofficial figures from
more than three-fourths of the voting
precincts in the state gave Governor
Cox a lead of more than $4,000. Re-
turns from the mountain regions were
slow and were expected to trim the

dicate that Harding carried the state
by approximately $4,000. BY the same

Proh;s, Says Party Head

CHICAGO. Nov. 3.-The election of
Senator Harding is more pleasing to
the prohibtionists than the election
of Cox would have been, V. G. Hin
shaw. chairman of the prohibition ma
tional committee, said here this morn
ing on his first statement after the
election.
This is because of his recent pub
lie statements, made to the national
temperance council, that he would use
wha tever power he possessed to pre-
vent the re-establishment of intoxi-
eating liquors, and also hit statement
that his further action on prohibition
should be interpreted by his vote on
the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead law" Mr.. Hinshaw said.
