In making an Illegal payment Of $12,-

SURVIVAL IS DOUBTED

Politically speaking, and no one has
spoken otherwise for several weeks. there
was an air of great contentment in In
dianapous Wednesday and today.
Although a great party practically had
been wiped out of existence by the vote
Of Tuesday, not only In the nation but
In the State and county. there was no
spirit OF rebellion against the results
evidenced by denunciation or expires.
sions Of disappointment
No occasion remained 20 quarrel about
the results. The verdict Of the voters

1enge.
Whatever improprieties there were in
the conduct OF the election could not by
any stretch OF the imag gnation be made
to show an effect on the results.
Persons who were deprived OF their
right to vote by reason Of the unfortu-
nate collapse OF the registration system
rested content In the knowledge that
their votes would have made no differ

ANALYSIS OF VOTE
ATTRACTED LITTLE ATTENTION.
Analysis OF the vote and the causes
thereof attracted little attention. Criti-
cism Of the manner in which the losers
handed their campaign and praise for
the winners was received without euthu

The populace generally did not expect
such an overwhelming decision and while
II was willing TO concede success to the

much good sense to attribute any super

Proposal Still an Idea.

Although more than month has
passed since the board Of public safety
cleared the road for bids and the letting
Of contracts for motorization of the fire
department there was no indication to-
day when action weuld be taken.
Bids have been before the board for
three weeks. Frequent fruitless confer
ences with the city council have been
held to obtain an agreement from that
body for the approval Of the contracts
and a bond issue.
No reason for the continuous bicker-
Ing has been given.
The present delay, It was explained to-
day, is due to the fact that officials In
the legal department had been so busy
in the campaign that the necessary legal
papers have not been drawn up.
1t was predicted that the contracts
will be awarded and the ordinInce rati-
flying them and a sJOO,00O bond issue win

Harding's Electoral Vote
Probably Will Be
404.
127 LEFT TO GOV. cox

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The unprece-
dented Republican victory, growing By
leaps and bounds hourly since the polls
closed Tuesday night reached its maxi
mum proportions today when late re-
turns dispelled the doubt that fingered
over New Mexico and definitely placed
this State in the Harding Coolidge col
umn.
With only two counties missing in New
Mexico Senator Harding has lead in
the returns OF 1000. The. partial returns
yet to come In from these missing dis
tricts cannot change the result.
Along with Arizona. Missiuro, Tennez-
see and a few other States. which the
Democrats did not give up until the last
moment, the addition gives the Repub.
hcans victory so gigantic that even
g. o. P. leaders find 1t hard to realize.
GIVES g. o. P. 404 VOTES
IN ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Senator Harding and Governor Cool
idge will have 404 votes in the electoral
college Only once before In the history
OF the nation has this electoral vote been
surpassed. That was In 1912. the year
Of the Republican schism, when Wood
row Wilson rolled up 435 votes In the
college. Before that memorable year.

ing received 336 votes in 1904. the year
which Republicans have always pride
fully pointed to as representing the high
water mark Of political endeavor and
victory.
Harding and Coolidge carried thirty
six States, taking along with them to
triumph the goVernorships Of twenty six
States and numerous senatorial and con-
gressional candidates
They even shattered some Democratic
Institutions ike Champ Clark in Mis-.
souri, and Senator George Chamberlain in
Oregon.
TEXAS ELECTS
A REPUBLICAN.
Texas elected one Republican Congress
man and several Texas towns gave Hard
Ing a plurality, although the State, of
course, was traditionally Democratic.
Cox and Roosevelt will have only 1T
votes in the electoral college.
While II probably will be some DAYS
before the popular plurality of Harding
and Coolidge Will be definitely known.
1t now appears certain that 1t win be
around 100000.
The greatest plurality given Harding
was from New York., Csc, ,GoO-and the
smallest probably from Arizona, New
Mexico or NeTeda, where the Republican
plurality wiz be from 5000 to 5000.
