The Next President Of the United States

American politics clearly fore
shadowed and predicted. 1t is more
than a partisan victory as the result
was contributed to by millions OF
Democrats. The women of the ma
tion have quickly vindicated the con-
ferring of the suffrage privilege as
they sensed correctly the issues and
rallied to the cause Of America and
American institutions. The Repub-
lican party is fully conscious of the
great responsibilities implied In this
popular verdict and will faithfully
keep it's obligations.
The Senator's trip to Texas will
begin Friday night or Saturday
morning and Mr.. Harding will ar
rive at Point Isabel, Texas, near
Brownsville, next Monday. He
plans to spend about IL days and
then leave for Panama by way Of
New Orleans.
Leaving Colon about Dec. l, ne
will land at New Orleans and will
travel by train to Bedford, Va.
where he speaks Dec. S at an Elks'
celebration. Afterward he is to re-
turn ta,,Mar1on to sfemain under pre-
sent plans, most df the time until
March 4. He may take trip, dur
ing this interim, however, to some
southern resort

can land slide continued to roll
along in even greater proportions
today as belated elections came in
from the west.
Besides electing Harding it was
assured that the republicans increas-
ed their margin in both houses of
congress and in the senate, in parti-
cular, would change their precarious
control by one to q substantial work
ing majority.
Congressional returns from many
states were slow as were incomplete
returns on the vote for president.
But the basis Of actual returns at
hand and indications from partial
returns coming seem to indicate
that Harding would not have less
than $50 votes, in the electoral col
lege with probability of more than
$50, while all that could be counted
In the Cox column were the 1877
votes from the solid south.

We're making good the republican
prediction that Cox would not carry

In many aspects the election was
very unusual. It developed what
may be the greatest republican vic
tory of party history. Both the DEM

ayers conceded defeat before
enough returns actually were in to
