The unofficial results presaged
larger majority in the electoral col
lege for Senator Harding than any
since 1888, except alone the vote Of
435 for President Wilson in 1912, when
the Republicans split"
Minor Parties Cut Little Figure.
None of the minor parties. the So
cialist-Farmer-Labor nor Prohibition,
figured in the presidential result. So
cfalist headquarters at Chicago claim
ed an increased vote and the party
reelected three New York Socialist
assemblymen who had been expelled
The first woman Socialist ever elected
to the New York assembly, Marion H.
Laing, also was successful.
Clear Majority for Harding.
It looks as if Harding had won not
only plurality, but tremendous ma
joritv OF the total popular vote of the
nation as did Mckinley, in 1896 and
1900, Roosevelt in 1904 and Taft in
1908.
The Republicans simply mopped up
the country from ocean to ocean. It is
doubtful that the complete returns will
show that Cox carried a single state
outside of the Democratic stronghold
comprised in the solid South and the
bord CT states. Even in the border
states, Cox appears to have made a
poor showing. He carried Kentucky
by approximately twenty-five thousand,
but it looks as if Harding had won
Missouri, West Virginia and Maryland
With from 5 million to 10 million
women voting for President for the
first time and with the wholesale de-
fections Of men voters from the Demo-
cratic party the Republicans rolled up
the most phenomenal pluralities in the
experience of the politicians.
New York by a Million.
Harding swept New York by a plu-
rality of 1 million or more, according
to estimates based on incomplete re-
turns. He even carried the Demo-
cratic stronghold Of New York City.
The million margin took the breath
away from the prophets Of a Harding
plurality Of 100000 in New York, but
it was only the beginning Of a tale Of
stupendous victory that beggared the
widest claims OF the most optimistic
Republicans. Still more remarkable
was the performance of Gov. Al Smith
Of New York, Democrat. who appears
to have been reelected despite the
Republican tidal wave.
Illinois smashed all records by send
ing Harding over the line with some
thing like 100000 or 500, 900 more votes
than Cox. The Harding plurality in
Chicago alone, where the Democrats
are stronger than in the state, is more

Margaret had accompanied the fam
