TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 2.-The Har-
ding Coolidge ticket is in tho lead in
every county in the state and present
returns indicate that the Republicans
have carried the state by 200, 900. With
more than 10000 votes counted in Hud-
son County, Harding and Coolidge have
lead of more than $500, and in Essex
County they are more than $500 ahead.
In Passaic County the Republicans are
winning by almost three to one. These
counties normally are Democratic
stronghods. In previoua national cleo
tions the Republican plurality in New
Jersey has been about 10000.
Returns from 614 of the 2,046 dis
tricts in the state give Harding a lead
of 67005, the vote standing: Harding,
129,396; Cox, 62,391; Debs, 1861.
The rest of the Republican ticket
rode to victory with Harding and
Coolidge. Ten Republicans were elected
to the House of Representatives to
two Democrats, or, perhaps, eleven
Republicans to one Democrat, the race
being neck and neck in the I'd District
Legislature Is Republican
The Republicans elected seven out Of
eight candidates for the State Senate,
and the result in Warren, the eighth
county, is still in doubt. Forty-four
Republicans were elected to the As
scmbly to seventeen Democrats.
The first votes to be counted told the
story. Harding and Coolidge main
tanned their advantage from the first
and the prediction OF the Democratic
leaders that the visit of Cox to the
publican majority down was not full
filled.
Indications from present returns are
that the following men have been
elected to Congress
Flrst-Frank Patterson, Republican;
I'd, Isaac Bacharach, Republican; 3d.
I. Frank Appeby, Republican,; 4th
e. c. Hutchinson. Republican; 9Th,
representative Ernest r. Ackerman,
Republican, 9Th, Randolph Perkins, Re-
publican; 7th, Representative Amos
Radcliffe; Sth, Cornelius McGlennan
Democrat; 9th, Richard Wayne Parker
Republican; 11th, John J. Eagan, Dem
ocrat; 18th. Charles f. x. O'Brien
Democrat.
Race Close in Fourth
1t is only in the I'd District that
there is any doubt as to the result
although the fight was a hot one in the
and Somerset counties, where the
Democrats claimed to the last that
their candidate, Dr.. Charles Browne
Mayor of Princeton, was the winner.
DR.. Browne carried both Trenton and
Princeton. He ran on an anti-prohi ibi-
tion platform, however, and the conf
dence of the Republicans that the dry
adhcrents in the farming sections
would seat their man was justified.
The state Senate will remain witt
fifteen Republicans and six Democrats
There We're eight Senators elected to-
day and Republicans were successful
in seven of the eight counties. Senator
Thomas Barber, of Warren, Democrat
Democrat whose term expired. Sena
tor Barber defeated Miss Caroline b
Brookfeld.
Other Senators elected were:
Camden, Joseph F. Wallworth, Re
publican; Essex, William II. Parry, Re
publican; Gloucester, L. l. Sturges 3
Republican; Monmouth, William A
Stevens, Republican, Salem, c. B
Allen, Republican; Somerset, c. E
Case. Repub lean; Union, William N
Runyon, Republican.
The slowncss with which the vote
counting proceeded in this state was
due to the heavy vote and the fact
that in spite of the increase caused by
the woman vote, the Legislature failed
to make any provisions for handling it
1t refused to redistrict the state or
create new subdivisions in districts
which showed great increases in regis
tration. In some districts the vote was
three times as heavy as in former
years.
