1t appeared on the face of late re
turns that Mr.. Harding would have al
least 3S1 votes in the electoral col
lege. leaving Mr.. Cox with $50. Mr.
Harding needed only 266 electoral
votes to win and has lis more than
necessary.
Mr.. Harding achieved the seeming

In the Republican tide that swept
the nation, the G. o. P. senatorial
nominees who were termed 'bitter
enders" and opponents of the league
of nations, sb well as those who fought
the woman's suffrage amendment,
were elected to office almost without
exception. Senator Moses of New
Hampshire, Senator Brandagee of
Connecticut, Senator Watson of In
diana and Senator Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin, all were returned to the Senate.
They were chief among those who
consistently opposed President Will
sons foreign policies.
Carrying New York state by prob
ably 1,125,000 majority over Cox, and
carrying Ohio, the home state of both
candidates, by a huge plurality, Pres
ident-elect Harding goes into office
with a substantial working majority
in both houses of Congress, assuring
the country of Republican rule for
at least another four years.

NOT PERSONAL VICTORY,
SAYS Mr.. HARDING

Marion, Ohio.-Convinced by early
returns of his election to the presi-
dency, Warren G. Harding issued a
statement, saying that instead of be-
ing exultant over the result he was
more given to prayer to God to make
ne capable of playing my part"
Receiving the election returns at
his home here, Mr.. Harding declined
during the early evening to make any
comment. and issued his statement
only after the figures had piled up
majorities for him, which his adyis-
ers declared made his election certain.
At the same time 1t became known
that the Senator and Mrs. Harding
had made plans for vacation trip, to
be carried out regardless of the re-
suit of the election, taking them for a
rest next week in Texas and after
that for an ocean voyage to the Pan
anna Canal Zone. They will return to
Marion during early December

RECORD MARGIN MARKS
REPUBLICAN VICTORY

New York.-By majorities unprece.
denied in American politics Warren
G. Harding was elected president and
Calvin Coolidge, vice president. The
addition of women to the electorate
accounted for some of this increase
in Hardings margin over James M.
Cox, but for by no means all of it.
The highest state plurality ever
previously recorded, Roosevelt's mar
gin of 100000 over Parker in Penn
sylvania = 1904, was surpassed at
least three times. New York State
went for Harding by 100000;
pennsylvania gave him a plurality al
most as large; Illinois gave him $780,
600; Ohio, the home state of both
candidates, went for Harding by
100000.
All over the country the Harding
plurality broke records. Maine,
which surprised all prophets by 60
ing 10000 Republican at the guber-
material election in September, pass
ed that ERIK by several thousand.
California, which Wilson carried by
SO narrow margin, went for Harding.

Wilson had a little League,
It's aims were white as snow.
He labored hard, without ia
tigue,
To make the darned thing go.
He dragged this poor old Grip
pied sheep
Unto the door of Cox,
But Cox appeared too sound
asleep,
To hear his masters knocks.
And so the butler turned them
out,
But still they fingered near,
And waited patiently about
In hope that Cox would hear.
But Jimmy, fearful of his fate,
Ignored their lonely plight,
Becase the canny candidate
Was scared the sheep would
bite. !
''Ill fly the fellow" Wilson cried,
"For all these snubs and
Shocks"
And so he dragged the League
inside
And forced the thing on Cox.
So Cox, he nursed it for some
months
While it was still inside,
But it became SO poor and weak,
That on Tuesday night it died.

The Election.

The election of Tuesday leaves no
doubt where this country stands on
the League of Nations issue, and on
the policies and performances of the
present administration. The coun-
try goes back to republicanism with
an overwhelming rush. The days of
democratic administration are num-
bered.
President Harding will have be-
hind him a republican Congress.
There will be no division of effort or
of esponsibility--it is squarely up
to the republicans to give the people
of this country some measure of re-
lief from present chaotic conditions.
We believe they will make good.
The campaign has been compli-
Gated by honest division of opinions
within both parties on the League of
Nations issue, but as opposed to the
stand-pat position of the Wilson
democrats, the republican PROPOSE
tion.if less definite, apparently was
accepted by the voters as offering the
best solution of the international
problem. How the situation will be
met remains to be worked out. and
the republicans were honest enough
to say so, Certain it is that the Will
son treaty and league will not be &C
cepted in its present form.

The campaign has further been
elouded by utilization and ISLANDERS
such as have not disgraced a presi-
dental campaign in this country in
recent years. The voters have reg
istered. their disapproval of such
campaign methods.
