Democrats Fail to Gain;
Single Doubtful States
In P Presidential Contest

New York, NOV. 3.-One OF the
most sweeping republican victories
in party history today stood re-
corded for Senator w. G.. Harding
for president and republican
congress.
Tremendous and unparalleled re-
publican pluralities beginning with
the first count of ballots in yester-
days election continued rnoumtins
today.
Congress Lost Also.
Defeat in their fight boyh for
the presidency and congress was
conceded early by democratic ma
tlonal leaders on the basis of the
crushing republican vote and de-
spite the absence of final and off
cial figures.
With the presidency and con-
gress went loss to the democrats OF
governors, state legislatures and
other state and local candidates.
The break even threatened to eX-
tend to the border states hitherto
solid south with republican gains
in some southern states larger than
any since the Civil war.
Senator Harding's victory, in
what Governor Cox and other dem
ocratic leaders and many promi-
nent republicans hailed as the SOL
emn referendum" on the league OF
nations was impressive. In the
absence of final figures, the swell
ine tide of huge plurailties early
today gave him assurance of 329
ovtes in the electoral collage as
against 127 for Governor Cox with
IS doubtful. inclusive of states
where the republican tide was
running strong.
Lead Is Decisive.
Unofficial results presaged a
larger majority in the electoral col
lege for Senator Harding and his
running mate, Governor Coolidge
