NUMBER 16

When the DemocfaEfc cOncesstnm O4 Republican victory was made there were practically no returns in to show the trend of voting on Congress. The few returns at hand showed few changes, and these were in favor of the Republican side. The Democratic fight for control of the Senate showed no signs of waning. Penrose of Penn sylvania, Cummins of Iowa, Wads- worth of New York, Brandegee of Connecticut and Noses of New Hamp- shire, the latter two "bitter-enders" in their opposition to the treaty of Versailles, seemed safe in reelection by substantial majorities.
 Taking the Republican landslide in the East as handwriting on the wall, metropolitan papers, among them those which staunchly had supported Cox and the League of Nations is- sue, announced the election of Hard ing early in the evening.
 As the landslide in the East con tinued to roll down, however, and tho first indications came that 1t would extend westward, there evidently was some hurried communication between Governor Cox at Dayton and the Democratic managers in New York, for their announcement conceding the election of Harding came out in Day yon and in New York at practically the same time
 At the same moment he conceded the election of Harding, White also conceded the election of Republican Congress.
 Senator Harding's election came on his f1fty-fifth birthday anniversary.
 At the rate the Harding column was growing the Republican plurality in New York state will be around the unprecedented figure of more than a million. New York city, normally Democratic, was going for Harding by at least half million. The governor ship fight continued close, with Re publican managers claiming defeat of Governor Smith.

Early Returns Show That Opponents of League of Nations Are Elected by Big Margin-Hardng Celebrates His Fifty fifth Birthday.

Thomas C. M. will be elected governor by the usual large majority. and J. H. Blount, negro independent candidate for governor, is running far behind Wallace Townsend, Republi- can candidate. From early returns Blount's vote will be negligible.
 Amendments Nos. 13 and IA have large majorities and although the re- port on the amendments is behind the report on the state offices, these two amendments seem likely to carry. The vote is about two to one in fa- vor of Amendment No. IS, but this amendment is yet in doubt because a majority of the highest vote cast at the election is required for adoption.
 In the Third congressional district in northwest Arkansas Tillman main tains a lead over his Republican op- ponent, John L. Worthington.
 In the Seventh Judicial district. where there is no Democratic nomi- nee but where Judge w. H. Evans and J. H. Means are candidates for the 1udgeship, the race is very close.
