In comment, the household word
avalanche seems the handiest. The
Republican avalanche began at the
Canadian border, from Maine to Wash
lnEton, and swept the country clean
clear to Mason and Dixon's line and
broke the Solid South.
The Republican avalanche swcpt
Tennessee, Oklahoma. New Mexico
and Arizona. In Kentucky Richard ].
Ernst, Republican, is elected to the
senate over J. c. W. Beckham. For
the first time in history several coun.
ties in Alabama went Republican, and
several precincts in the sixth Missis
sippi district did the same almost un-
belicvable thing. Harding carried st.
Petersburg Orlando. Daytona and 9th
er towns in Florida; nine counties in
northern Georgia and a dozen parishes
in the sugar belt of Louisiana. The
G. o. p. picked up congressman in
Texas; Harry NJ. Wurzback defeated
Carries Bee, brother-in-law of PoStmas-
ter General BurlesOn.
Presidcnt-elcct Harding. whatever
else he does is going to take rest.
He's already OF on real vacation of
month. His immediate destination
is Point Isabel. Tex, via San Antonio
and Brownsville. Point Isabel is on
the Gulf, 20 miles from Brownsville
and six miles from the Mexican line.
1t has population of 100 whites and
100 MeXiCans. There golf, bathing,
fishing and hunting are right at hand.
Col. L. Z. Scohey, now of San Antonio
and formerly sheriff Of Marion county,
Ohio, made him promise to 60, win or
lose. the night he was nominated. k.
Il. Creager, n San Antonio banker, who
seconded his nomination ut Chicago,
has turned over his cottage. OF course,
the poor man will be guarded by So
CrCt service operatives and pcstered by
newspaper men and photographers,
but he will have n goOdly company OF
golf buddies and other intimate friends
along. And politics and visitors Will
be barred.
Mr., Harding is planning TO 20 t"
she Canal Zone. after II fortnight at
Point Isabel. He has been preaching
that the new American merchant ma
rine should pass free through the ran
anna canal and he wants iirst-hand IN
formation on conditions. Return Is
set for December 6. He plans TO re-
sign his seat as senator January ~
when Governor-elect Davis of ONO Will
be inaugurated and Scnator-elect VIII
lis will be appointed Mr.. HardingS
successor.

The presidential vote was about 'lllS'
Unrdinp. l.S42.222; Cox. IS2.6a3. Inc
gubernntorial vote was about inns
Miller, 1,3l9,5S6; Smith, l.236,5ll. re
publicans and Democrats nllRe say 'ile
feat is unprecedented. AL as every
body calls him, has come up from III
orphan newsboy. Now he is spoken
of as the logical candidate 1oF 'he
presidency in 1874.
By-products of the election are many
and interesting. Harding shutters
tradition that no sitting senator can be
elevated To the White House. Coolidge,
who violates every principle OF Po.,-
ties laid down by the practical po'i-
ticians, wins his seventeenth success
sive candidacy.
