In comment, the household word
avalanche seems the handlest. The
Republican avalanche began at the
Canadian border, from Maine to WASH
ington. and swept the country clean
clear to Mason and Dixon's line and
broke the Solid South.
The Republican avalanche swept
Tennessee, Oklahoma, New Mexico
and Arizona. In Kentucky Richard ].
Ernst, Republican is elected to the
senate over ]. 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-
believable thing. Harding carried st.
Petersburg, .Orlando. Daytona and 9TH
er towns in Florida: nine counties in
northern Georgia and dozen parishes
in the sugar belt of Louisiana. The
G. 0. p. picked up congressman in
Texas; Harry NJ. Wurzback defeated
Carlos Bee, brother-in-law of Postmas-
ter General Burleson.
