MARION, Ohio, Nov. 2.-The out
come of today's election is being
awaited by Senator Warren G.. Har-
ding WITH complacency.
Both the senator and Mrs. Harding
were astir in their homes early this
morning. They expected to leave
the house shortly after breakfast to
vote in the small brick garage, a few
blocks away.
Mrs. Harding will cast her first
presidential ballot for her husband and
the senator will place an "X" at the
head of the column of Harding elec-
tors. Then they will turn to the
enjoyment of the 55th birthday ami
versary of the candidate, which falls
on election day this year.
If weather permits, Senator Har-
ding will motor to Columbus for a
game of golf. He will be back in
Marion before dinner to receive the
election returns.
Senator Harding will be kept busy
during the evening greeting the
erowds that will collect around the
front porch, glancing over election
figures copied over special wires which
run into the press quarters at the rear
of his home and talking over long dis
tance telephone to party leaders at
New York and Chicago.
Senator and Mrs. Harding appeared
in q happy from Of mind this morning
and neither gave any sign of having
the slightest doubt about the result.
Both rested most of yesterday and ap-
peared completely refreshed.
I'VE are all set" Senator Harding
said 'I have made the best fight

result with complacency
Eleventh hour reports to Senator
Harding from so-called doubtful states

named New York, Illinois, Indiana
and New Jersey in this connection.
His latest reports were that Senator
I,enroot was safe in Wisconsin. A
republican senator will be elected in
Oregon in place of George Chamber
lain. according to his reports.
IF Senator Harding is elected, 1t ls
nrobable that he will leave Marion the
latter part of the week for rest.

their home shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning to vote. They rode 10

CHICAGO, Nov Mrs. Inclement
| Weather, the most influential woman
in politics, rolled the voting situation
as balloting began in the middle
west today.
Rains, winds and SHOWS, prevalent
in this section, were expected to
keep many feminine voters at home
and interfere with the farmer vote,
to considerable extent.
Early reports from centers Of popu-
lation, however, indicated large turn
outs, with women equally prominent
in the long queques that formed be-
fore sun up at polling places ana
continued to lengthen during the
morning. Detroit was the only large
city in the middle west where the
early vote was lighter than antici-
pated. Few women turned out there
because of heavy rains last night
and today.
The country vote, claimed by all
political parties, was exceptionally
light in early voting.
Democratic and republican party
| leaders here denied unfavorable
weather would injure their cause
and continued their optimistic pre-
dictiens of victory.
The first whispers of the middle
vests election voice was expected
to come from Kansas. Many pre-
cincts there have double election
boards making the total first half
vote available shortly after noon.
Many election officials estimated
returns would be late tonight in
most districts.
Scratching Of ballots, reported
widespread, viii greatly complicate
tabulations in addition to the eScep-
! tionaIly long and complicated ballots

eleven tickets on the ballot.

of the party here claimed Iowa, Ne

successes today.
Socialists also claimed they would
show gains over the last presiden-
| tia1 vote.

the midst of a bitter struggle in the
