turns indicate that Senator Harding

nearly five times the plurality by
which Wilson was elected Governor
| in the Democratic landslide Of ten
years ago. Hudson and Essex

which went Democratic by $4,000 a
year ago, gave Harding more than
| $4,000 majority, while Essex went
for him by $4,000 a majority nearly
| as large as that ever before given
candidate in the whole State.
With only sixty of the 2,046 dis
tricts in the State missing, and in
lcluding Hudson County complete, the
vote stood:
Harding, 572.034.
Cox, 246.327.
The Hudson County vote complete
was: Harding. 102,085; Cox, 62.967'
While the Democrats elected one
State Senator and one member OF
Assembly both from Warren County.

claimed up to last night, Charles F
X. O'Brien of Jersey City, is in doubt
to-day.

SOLDIERS SEIZE BOOZE
IN BALTIMORE RAID

BALTIMORE, Nov. Twenty
armed soldiers and city detectives,
led by Capt. Charles j. Mabbutt
from Camp Holabird. captured in
a cabin of the Bird River yesterday
stolen whiakey valued at more than
$4,000, and two Camp Holabird
soldiers who were guarding the
contraband.
Just before the raiding party
passed Turkey Point Road there
was a volley of unexplained shots.
One theory is that the firing was
done by bootleggers who had been
tipped off about the raid and plan
ned to ambush the raiders to seize
whatever liquor they captured.
Bloodstains in the road indicate
that somebody was hit, but the
shooting is still a mystery.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5:-Formal
protest by Japan against the adop-
ton of the anti-alien land law by
California would be n usual course
in diplomatic procedure. according
TO international lawyers here. Such

would be to safeguard Japan's posi-
tion in the diplomatic exchanges.

The conferees have reached
enough common ground to cause
them to hold that an acceptable
course of procedure will be mapped
out.

HARDING VOTE
STILL CROWS
404 Electoral Votes Total
NoW--SWeeping Gains Are
Made by G. 0. P. in House

BY The Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5:-With the
size of President-elec Harding's
electoral vote settled at 40i out of
possible 531. and the completion
of the new senate set down as fifty
nine Republicans and thirty-seven
Democrats, Republican leaders
awaited belated returns on eight
contests in six states to fix the exact
size of the Republican House ma
jority.
Exclusive of the eight undeter-
mined seats in the lower House the
Republicans had 2S6 members to
1877 Democrats and four of other
designations, a plurality of 149-the
greatest ever held by any party in
the House. The nearest approach
to ii was in the fifty-second congress
when the Democrats had a lead of
14S.
Republicans appeared to be as
sured of better than an even break
on the eight outstanding seats which
would give them a record party
margin in the House. The seats
still in doubt were the fourth Mary
land district: eighth. Minnesota
fifth, Missouri; fifteenth, twenty-first
and twenty-third. New York: first,
North Dakota: and fifth, West Vir-
ginia.
A further possible Democratic up
set appeared in the fourth Tennessee
district where w. S. Clouse, Repub-
lican. was to have forged slightly
ahead of Cordell Hull, earlier report
ed election.
The senate majority was settled
late last night when belated returns
from mountain regions of Kentucky
gave the Republican candidate, Rich
ard p. Ernst. victory over Senator
Beckman, Democrat. Montana with
a large part of her vote unreported
still was technically in the undeter-
mined column as to the disposition
of her four electoral votes as both
representative contests went to Re-
publicans and the presidential vote
favoring Harding, it seems likely she
will fall into the long Harding list.
Without Montana Harding would
have 400 electoral votes.

With the return to Republican gov
eminent il will be necessary that the
president have the backing Of both
houses of congress to assist him in
his reconstruction work, and to bring
the country back to a good safe and
sound footing. 1t is therefore essen
tial that We elect a republican Senator
and Representative from the state.

defeat the Wilson League OF Nations
as enough Democratic senator's, alone,

assured it's defeat, as 1t Is to carry
out the progressive platform adopted
at the Chicago convention.
Some of the pledges in this platform
are:
A budget system Of government fin-
ancing which was once passed by the
senate ana vetoed by the president.
The end Of executive autocracy and
return to constitutional government.
A consistent and firm Mexican poll
~.
An agreement among the nations of
the world 10 preserve peace. One that
will meet the full duty Of America to
civilization and humanity. without sur
rendering the right OF American
people to exercise its judgement and
its power in favor OF justice and peace
A protective tariff, where needed.

The resumption of trade relations
with the nations Of the world.
The restriction of immigration.
Recognition OF the justice OF collec-
tive bargaining.
A carefully planned reimbursement TO

OF Unnecessary officials and employ
