Republicans Gain Ten Seats in

GREATEST PARTISAN
VICTORY SINCE 1912
Daniels, Burleson and Wilson
to Leave Executive Branch
of Government
(By United Press)

~ Washington, Nov. 5.-The 1921
presidential and congressional cleo
lions were passing into history today
and with practically complete re-
turns in, the score looked like this:
Senator Warren G. Harding got 404
electoral votes and Governor James
M. Cox 1877. The republicans gain
ten seats in the senate, winning a
total of SO to. the democrats 81. The
republicans gained Al seats in the
house making their total PSI and
that of the democrats 1853. The So
cialists had one. The prohibition
lists lost their sole member.
With these figures the republicans
gained the greatest political victory
that has come to any party since
1912, when Woodrow Wilson was
elected president and the democrats
controlled overwhelmingly both
branches Of congress. They do not
tell the full story for the republicans

south. They won Oklahoma almost
as strongly democrat and they elect
ed one congressman from Texas. A
brot her-in-law- of Postmaster Gener-
al Burleson, being democrat, was
defeated. They also carried some
election districts in the distinctly
democratic states of Georgia, l-oulsl-
ana and Mississippi
With the democratic defeat there
passed out of public life in Washing

speaker of the house, who enlivened
the debates in that body with his

R. Sherwood, the Oldest man in the
house and one of the few surviy ing
civil war generals, will not return
from his Ohio district. Henry 7.
Rainey of Illinois, another of these
veterans, will not come back.
With the Oldest members OF the
house is going the youngest. King
Swope of Kentucky. who was slightly

to fill out a term caused by the death
of Harvey Helm. Another youngstel

to leave.

President-Elect Signs Death
knell of Covenant in
One Sentence
DECLARES HE WILL
CARRY OUT MANDATE
Will Undertake Building Up
of Cordial Relationship
With Other Nations
(By United Press.)

Marion, O., Nov. 5 (by Raymond
Ciapper) The League of Nations
has been pronounced dead by Presi-
dent-Elect Warren G. Harding. In
one smashing sentence the next presi-
dent Of the United States signed the
death knell of the covenant. 1t came
as the climax of his first speech since
his ell lection, to delegation of his
Marion neighbors from the front
porch last night when they came by
thousands to congratulate him on his
election.
1.-THE American people by the UNI
parallcled majorities they gave the
republican candidates ordered the
League Of Nations scrapped, accord
ing to the Interpretation Senator
Harding places OH the Solemn refer
endum.' He made it clear today
that his mandate will be carried out
to the letter. The Marionites in
their parade carried statue labelled
the League of Nations"
"You did not want the surrender
of the United States. You wanted
America to be free and unmortgaged.
That is why you did not carry for
the leaghe.'
To Rebuild Relations.
Senator Harding now took his hrst
opportunity after,h his election to clear
the air on, the league matter, but
simultaneously he will undertake the
rebuilding Of cordial relations be-
tween the United States and the rest
of the world. This plan contemplates
America taking active part in improv-
ing international conditions.
1t means resumption of relations
with Germany as soon AS possible and
with Russia and Mexico ultimately
and negotiations looking toward an
association Of nations.
Two Moves Expected.
Two moves are expected to be
made by Senator Harding in the near
future; meeting with Mexican lead
ers, Including probably President
Elect Obregon on the border while
vacationing in Texas, and confer
ence with senate leaders over the
drafting Of resolution declaring war
with Germany at an end and pro-
viding resumption Of trade relations.

TREATY PLAN MAY Be
LEFT WITH HARDING
(BV United Press.

Washington, Nov. 5 (by L. C. Mar
tin).-The solemn referendum on
the League of Nations having lost
out, the friends of President Wilson
are asking what he will do about the
peace treaty.
The answer is known only to the
president. If he intends to do any
thing, he has not confded in his
official family. Many guesses have
been made among them. 9
These are that President Wilson
will do nothing more about the
treaty of the league but will leave
to Harding the task of making peace
with Germany and deciding on what
means the United States shall take
in cooperating with other nations to
prevent war. ~
