member the Women OF Marion
County," We congratulate you
on this victory, and we thank
you for your cooperation.

ciRte County Chairman.
JesSica Lehman, Associate
County Secretary.
It was remarked at Republican
headquarters today that the only
Democratic victory noted thus far
in the county was some justice IN
Warrington district who was run
ming without any opposition.
This morning 1t was stated by
several Republican leaders hat
big victory parade would be stag
ed within few days. but no def
Mite date has been set Cor the
event. County Chairman Meredith
stated that plans were being made
for the affair, but that he had not
been definitely advised as to tie
details for the event. 1t will no
doubt be one of the greatest DEM
onstrations ever staged in this city.
Early last evening it became ap-
parent that Morgan had carried
the county and that he would be
elected by great majority i'll the
state; also it was early evident that
the next president would be War;
rem G. Harding, aud that the en-
tire Republican ticket in tAe HUun-
ty had come through with a
whoop'
Particularly pleasing to Marion
county people was the election of
Judge Morgan as the next govern
or of the state. II means that an
other Marion county man will hold
the Office OF chief executive or the
state.
Judge Morgan this morning
communicated by telephone from
Charleston with the local Repub-
IIcan headquarters. and expressed
his great appreciation OF the sup
port given him by the home folks.
The Montgomery camapign prov
ed q bloomer. The head OF the
Nou-Partisan ticket ha dlittle luck
and run Il bad third in most sec
. lions.
Just as soon as 1t WAS reasonably
certain that q Republican victory
at the polls had been secured the
great crowd OF return seekers on
the streets dust night started cell
ebratton and typical election night
scenes were staged by a typical
election night crowd. Nictors and
vanquished jOshed each other In a
good natured manner.
?Election returns were flashed on
screens in front Of The West Vlr-
giniau and The Times offices. and
the crowds, despite the cold. win
dy night, stuck around the two
newspaper offices until way after
the midnight hour. 1mpromtu
hot dog" stands were eretced at
one place on Monroe street. and a
land office business in "hot dogs"
was done.
Things are very quiet about the
court house today. All the mem
bers of the late official court house
family are wearing long faces, con-
tornted as they are with no hap
pier outlook than having TO go to
work and move out of the place
they thought they had leased for
life.
Charles Powell was not seen
about the court house this morn
ing. It is presumed his toes are
too sore for him TO get out today,
as result of the manner in which
the women stepped on them yes
terdy while Charles was directing
his forces from the corridor OF the
court house.
The successful Republican can
didateS were being congratulated

while the Democrats had TO stand
for bunch OF kidding, which the
most of them took like good sports
A reporter approached 7. D.
Connell, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. this morning. Il
am interviewing all the prominent
Democrats" said the reporter.
"Anything.to say?"
We'll, l got my ticket purchas-
ed and reservations made for a
trip" replied Mr.. ConncIl with a
smile.
Got lower or an upper
berth?"
Had TO take an upper-train
very crowded." was the repuy.
Guess Tusca Morris has the
darwing room" was the remark
0 ia bystander.
On the face OF the returns to
date, 1t seems that congressional
hSnors are taken from Marion
county to Wheeling so far as the
First district is concerned. Ben
Rosenbloom will be the congress
man from this district, Major Nee
| ly having gone under in the gen
eraI landslide. This is one of the
surprises Of the campaign to
many. but is simply an indication
J OF the clean sweeping characteris-
tics OF the Republican victory
Howard Hardesty fell for an old
gag In the Watson building this
morning. Hardesty was benouning
the Demmie fate, when fellow
said: We'll, Howard, you can just
bet your money on this that four
months from the day Harding is In
augurated all the banks in the ma
ton will be closed"
Yes, by gosh. they'll all be bank
rupt." Chlrped Howard.
20, no" said his friend-it Will
be July T." An dthe crowd gave
HardeSty the laugh.
There was very little sleeping
done Ill Fairmont last night. but
