gives no s0lace to the Democratic
party. The Republican tidal wave
engulfed, all Of the Eastern and Mid
die Western states. including Mis-
souri, Ohio, Indiana and Maryland
four states in which Democrats plac-
ed especially fond hopes. West of
the Mississippi the Republican storm
continued in force and swept all
coast states into the Harding column.
Colorado, Montana and Arizona also
went Republican.
Harding's total electoral vote will
exceed $780, The Harding popular
vote may be over 100000 in excess
Of that of Gov. Cox, his Democratic
opponent. The Republican Senate
majority will be increased to pos
sibly eight, and the House majority
will be upwards Of a hundred.
Kentucky went even more Demo-
ratcic than was expected. but Demo-
Gratis admit that among states where
Republicans had any hopes at all
Kentucky turned out to be Demo-
cratic oasis.
Until this election plurality Of
100000 votes had been the highest
ever obtaired in any one state. Sem
ator Harding surpassed this figure
in Pennsylvania, Illinos and New
