DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. B.
From president on down to minor
state Offices. Iowa has gone republi-
can by Overwhelming majorities, re-
turns tabulated from more than one
fourth Of the states 2,34S precincts
today showed. In SAG precincts out
of the states total. Harding received
$50, ,060 and Cox 54,152.
For United States senator, 459 pre-
cinets gave: Cummins, republican,
95,74S; Porter, democrat, 1850.
For governor. 481 precincts gave
Kendall, republican, $3.50; Herring,
democrat, 48,169.
On the basis OF these returns,
Harding's majority in Iowa will be
approximately 100000; Cummins'
majority will be around 100000, and
KendalFs will be about 10000,
political authorities here predicted.
These same returns showed Iowa's
delegation of eleven members to the
house of representatives elected by
safe margins.

HAYS were exceeded in practically
every instance.
The women's vote swelled totals to
unprecedented proportions and made
the democratic defeat appear all the
more overwhelming
Harding, when he assumes the pres
idency March 4. 1921, will go into
office with senate and house of rep
resentative republicans by wide mar
gins, according to the returns to date.
The republicans gained seats in
both the upper and lower houses.
All Records Broken.
NEW YORK, Nov. Sit was esti-
mated that the total vote cast was
more than 10000, 900, and that Harding
polled nearly six million votes more
than Cox. This broke all records for
political landslide. The records show
that prior to yesterday, no state ever
had eiven a presidential candidate
more than a 100000 plurality. This
was. surpassed by New York. which
gave Harding probable lead of more
than one million, by Pennsylvania,
where the republican candidate has a
margin of more than 100000, and In
Illinois where Harding's estimated
plurality is about 100000. Harding's
margin of victory IN Ohio was esti
mated at 100000. Other states rolled
up unprecedented pluralities for Har-
ding. California, whose vote four
wears ago decided the Hughes-Wilson
contest in favor of the latter, appears
to have gone for Harding by more
than 100000.
In Wyoming.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 3.-Com-
nlete returns from 272 of the 625
precincts in wyoming give Harding
12.2o5; Cox 6,051. For congress:
Frank w. Mondell, republican floor
leader, has been reelected by ma
iority as great as Hardings returns

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The scope
Of the republican victory that swept
the nation yesterday continued to
grow as the returns were compiled
today.
These returns showed that:
Harding has been elected president
by the greatest popular vote ever
arnassed in the history Of American
politics and the largest electoral
vote ever rolled up by a republican
candidate.
Republicans have strengthened
their grip on the senate and will
have working majority Of from
twelve to sixteen seats.
They will have top-heavy ma
jority OF approximately one hundred
votes in the house.
Republican governors were seated
IN every state except those Of the
solid south.
Harding's electoral vote had
reached 372 with indications that
doubtful states might carry the figure
to the 900 mark.
