New York State turned Itself upside
down politically yesterday by giving
Senator Harding more than 100000
Nathan L. Miller Governor by $4,000.
Gov Smith performed the modern
miracle in politics by reversing more
than 100000 votes in one State. The
Republican sweep for Harding is the
greatest victory ever recorded for q
nominee in this or any other State.
Senator James W. Wadswortn goes
hack to Washington with a plurality
of close to 100000. The women did not
carry their war against him to the
polls.
The State Legislature is strongly
Republican. Judge Miller goes into
the executive office with TIL, undi-
vided support of both houses. The old
deadlock in Albany is ended.
Claims of Socialists.
The Socialists were claiming 10 have
elected eleven Assemblymen. but late
returns showed only six elected. The
Legislature will again have to decide
whether they are to be seated. The
results in several districts are close,
but evidently they have increased their
representation largely because of their
having been twice ousted.
Senator Harding carried every count
upstate and every city except Oswego,
which gave Cox n plurality Of 319.

Republican State leaders said late last
night that Judge Miller would como
down to the city line with plurality
OF $4,000 at least. and claimed his
election by more than $4,000.
Harding carried every borough In New
York city. this being the first time since
1896 that n Republican candidate has
cleaned up this Democratic city. Gov
Smith also carried all Ave boroughs. nut
his tremendous lead here was overcome
by the upstate vote.
wadsworth Vote a Surprise.
While wadsworth was cut in some
districts, his big vote here was sur
prise. Even In the strongest Tammany
districts the Senator had big vote.
