the bleak November weather to 60
several blocks from the front porch
to the voting place in Huber's brick

ahead of the Senator and Mas
Harding. The candidate knew them
all. some OF their first names, and
lot OF good-natured banter pass

commenting upon the preponder-
anCe of women in the voting line.
Both he and Mrs. Harding refused
prdEers to go to the head of the
little string of voters, and stood
patiently while those in front
marked and deposited their ballots.
Mrs. Harding's ballot was Num-
ber 800 and the Senator's 304. Each
was in the booth but a very few
moments, leading to the inference
that they had marked the straight
Republican ticket. The total regis

WOMAN LEADER
HAPPY AT VOTE
Alice Paul Delighted Over
Manner in Which New
Voters Respond.

Leaders Of the National Woman's
Party professed themselves indif-
ferent TO the partisan issue of the
election but were delighted by re-
ports from all over the country
that the women were turning out
sometimes in greater numbers than
men, to exercise the new privilege
of voting. The next election, they
predicted, would not find women
voters leaderless or issueless, as at
present.
Whoever wins the election" said
Alice Paul, chairman of the Ma
tional Woman's Party, the interns-
tionsl program OF reform to which
women will bend their efforts will
not be effected. We are chiefly in
terested in seeing that a Congress
favorable to woman suffrage and
to the women's program is elected. d"
In many States. according TO suf-
frage leaders. separate ballot boxes
were used by women so that ac-
curate data might be obtained how
the women voted. The object Of
tests should the suffrage amendment
be finally declared unconstitutional
by the United States Supreme Court
An eminent Democratic politician
declared that the Socialist vote for
Eugene V. Debs would be unusually
heavy, as a protest again the i'm
position Of prison sentences for
political offences. He predicted that
many people not in sympathy with
Socialist aims would vote for Debs.

Turning to Republican
H Candidate.

=, NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-Ohio, ac-
eepted as a barometer by both par
ties. indicated in early returns a
decided Republican drift. indicat-
ing that the State would give SEN
ator Harding a substantial Repub-
licAn majority. Ohio was one of
the States which impartial pre-elec-
tion prophets agreed must be won
by the Democratic candidate to give
him even a fair chance Of national
success.
West Virginia, another of the So
called doubtful States, showed the
same Republican trend in it's early
reports, Senator Harding leading by
. to 1 in the first score of districts
to report.
-. In concededly Republican terri
tory like Massachusetts, the Hard
ing victory was sufficient to over
turn districts that had been Demo-
scratic for more than twenty five
Years. Boston, never Republican
since McKinley's victory over Bry-
an, gave the Republican standard
bearer a plurality of nearly 10000,
and In the State the Republican
lead was estimated at 125.OOO.

votes vital to Gov. COx's cause, ap-
peared on the face of incomplete

had been Republican in 1916 the
