Complete Results Are Not Expected For Another Day Harding Likely to Have More Than $50 Votes in Electoral College.

New York. Nov. 3.-The republican landslide continued to roll along in even greater proportions today as be- lated election returns came in from the West.
 Beside electing Harding it was as- sured that the republicans would in- crease their margin in both houses of congress, and in the senate in par ticular would change their precarious control by one to a substantial work ing majority.
 states were slow as were. indeed, the returns on the vote for president But on the basis of actual returns at hand and indications from partial returns coming in, it seemed that Harding would have not less than 33O votes in the electoral college with a probability of more than $50 while all that could be counted in the Cox column were the 127 votes from the soAd South.
 Clean Sweep Expected. Unless some sudden change were to appear it seemed the returns were making good the republican predic- tion that Cox would not carry a western or northern state. Both the democratic candidate and CulSL CCHCSueu uSIea' before enough returns actually were in to show it in figures. With the election went what President Wilson characterized solemn referen- - dunn" on the League of Nations issue, and if it may be said that the electo- rate regarded their votes as an ex- pression on that question they regis tered a preference for Harding who declared for staying cut" as against Cox for going in" with a landslide which exceeded the expectations of the most enthusiastic republicans.

IT'S NIP AND TUCK IN
 YORK STATE ELECTION
Smith Has Slight Lead But Dope" Seems to Favor
 Miller'S Chances

New York, Nov. 3. (By Associated Press) Interest in New York state on the day after election played about the game fight Governor Smith was making on the democratic ticket against Nathan L. Miller, his repub- lican opponent, for the honor of being the states chief executive.
 With the state giving the Harding Coolidge ticket an unheard of plu- rality of about 1000 votes, Governor Smith. nevertheless, was leading by 1S.065 on returns actually received at 9:3o o'clock today.
 But although, with the count in New York city complete, Governor Smith had 1,I93,29S votes up and down state to the 1,175.233 tabulated for Mir. Miller. his margin soon will be eaten up by returns from the 924 districts still missing upstate. if the republican nominee maintains his present average plurality of S2 in each district outside greater New York.
 Ii this average holds, Mir. Miller will come down to New York with a lead of 315.15o, whereas in the metro politan district Governor Smith has been able to run up a margin of only S1S,611. By this figuring Miller would win by 55,539.

 DIES IN WASHINGTON

 ing World War.

Word has been received in this city of the death of Colonel George H. Shelton at Washington, D. C. Colonel Shelton died in a hospital there at s o'clock last night.

Colonel Shelton is survived by his wife and one brother, William Shelton of Bassett street, this city.
 Colonel shelton had seen active service in the U. S. army for 24 years. In 1892 he took the competi- tive examinations for appointm ent to the United States military acadamy at West Point, at New Haven, with 20 others. He ranked highest and was formally appointed. What made the honor the greater was the fact that he had only received an ordin- ary common school education while some college graduates took the ex- aminations with him. While at West Point he became we'll known as an athlete and in one football game between the Army and Navy he played halfback for the Army and suffered a broken jaw. He was graduated from the academy in 1896 and was commissioned in the Eleventh II. s. Infantry then at Arizona
 When the Spanish war broke out he was. ordered with his regiment to the scenes of the hostilities and gained an enviable record for him. self here. While there he was under the command of General Swann and was with him in Porto Rico when the enemy surrendered.

Timely Notes on Gardening:

Make successive sowings Of garden
peas. Wrinkled varieties are supe-
rior in quality to the smooth, aisJ
should be used in all paintings at this
season.
In planting snap beans, use the
stringless varieties.
Stowell's Evergreen and Country
Gentleman are two good varieties OF
sugar corn.
If your early planting of snap beans
or corn is threatened by frost, cover
with straw or soil until the danger
, is over.
The tomato plants growing in the
hot bed, cold frame or boxes IN the
house, should be given very little
water at this time, and the beds
should be allowed to remain uncover
ed except on cool nights. This makes
the plants strong and tough and they
will withstand outside conditions bet
ter.
Select land for your tomatoes that
YOU have not been planting in toma-
toes. This will help to control root
knot and wilt.
Buy a good spray pump and some
spray material. You probably have
a neighbor who would like to coope-
rate with you in the purchase OF a
spray pump.
You should know when and what to
spray your garden with. Write to
your county agent or agricultural col,
| lege for spray calendar.
One of the greatest labor-savine
tools for the gardener is the whee
hoe or push plow. If you are moi
using one, try one this year. There
are a number of good makes on the
market.
Plan your garden this year so thai
you will have surplus Of the stan
dard vegetables to can. The truck
growers are not planting as much
truck as usual this year, and the
home gardeners will have to help sup
ply the demand.
