i.BOSTON, Nov. 2.-"I expected it, and
lam pleased" was the brief comment

i"It is with great deal of gratitude
fiat have seen by the incoming re-
turns the extent of the victory and
have realized its source. While ! re-
joce in its great proportions I rejoice
even more in the nature of the support
We have received. 1t means the end of
a period which has seemed to substi-
tute words for things. and the begin
njng Of a period of real pa
triotism and true national honor.
1t means return to the Con-
stitution, an end of extravaganza.
and a government by the people at
home; abroad it means the end of all
ambiguous and visionary schemes and
abeginning of a recognition Of the real
and true world relationship-whether
based on the proposed league or some
new agreement is immaterial-and de-
yelopment Of law, which are the sole
avenues to an abiding peace.
li"This has been the Republican pol
liz, voiced by its record, its platform,
It's candidate and now Endorsed by the
people. | believe there will be re-
turn of industrial progress.
1.-The great confidence in the leader
aaip exhibited by Senator Harding,
Iilch has been steadily increasing, has
tsen shown TO be warranted by the re-
ia. Of the election and will be further
hstihed by his administration. can
llpt commend too much his conduct of
Yle campaign; it has been magnificent.

IT am deeply appreciative Of the
t9te OF Massachusetts,. 1t is needless
u say offer my thanks to all who have
cu,tributed to the great result. the ma
tl0nal, state and local committees of
men and women. To the women Of the
nation IS due new debt of gratitude;
and finally want to express my appre-
cation OF the great courtesy the press
Of both parties has extended to me.
The issue was above parties. The
uctory cannot be DESIGNATED by any
ether word than American. >

Ment, in which she said:
This has been my first experience
IN taking part in elections. am great
' gratited at the result. | know Scna-
tor Harding is great campaigner, be-
cause he is a man of such fine, true
character. That stands out in all his
speeches. | am sure he will make
great President. But am equally
sure from the reports of the people
wno have rad the good fortune to visit
Marion that the impression Mrs Hard
ing has made on her guests has spread
all over the country and made the
people certain that they wanted her to
be the First Lady of the Land.
The women of Massachusetts,, un-
der the leadership of Mrs Bird. gave
our cause wonderful support. am
very thankful for the result to all
who have helped to secure it, to our
women especi iallv."
