the election by Texas voters of a. Re-
publican representative, Harry Waurz-
back.
Post-election developments within the
ranks of the beaten Democratic party
included n spicy statement from Viii
liam j. Bryan in which he divided
blame for the defeat between President
Wilson and Candidate Cox, asserting
that the former had laid the foundation
for the disaster" and the latter had com
pleted the structure"
Definite figures on the pluralities in
the various states were slowly coming in
last night but in only few had the
count been completed In most states,
however, fairly safe estimates could be
made, and as a rule these tended to go
higher than those made on election night.
Senator Harding's popular plurality can
no. be determined as vet, but it is still
very likely to reach the early estimate
of 100000
In New York state Harding will prob
abby have a margin of 1,0S0,000 over
Cox. with 203 upstate districts out of
n total of 1905 in the entire state miss
ing. he had margin of 1.057,445.
Massachusetts seems to have given
him 100000, instead of the 100000 esti-
mate of the first night. New jersey.
which early yesterday morning seemed
to have gone 100000 Republican. had
gone up to 22J,000 last night The pIu-
rRlitv in Pennsylvania had risen from
95G, 900 to 100000.
In many of the smaller states where
the margin was less, there had been cor
-'0enonding increases. Oregon. whose
Republican plurality was at first esti-
-0ated at 5000 now seems to have gone
for Harding by $4,000.
Only in one case does the first night
estimate seem to have been excessive
that was in Ohio, the home state of both
candidates. But here the revised figures
brought only a very small reduction,
FROM 100000 to 100000.
