HARDING RETAINS
HOLD ON VOTERS
Administration Candidates Big
Victory In New Mexico Shows
President Popular
INSPIRES PERSONAL REGARD
BY CLINTON w. GILBERT

SIAN SorreSpondent Evening Pubnc IedFer
Washington, Sept. 22.--The election
of Senator Bursum in New Mexico is a
striking evidence that that State. and
probably the whole country, lie still as
anti Democratic as It was one year ago
The voters are still immensely friendly
to President Harding. He possesses
their confidence and they rest their
hopes upon him. No other interpreta-
tion is possible.
The size of Mr.. Bursum's victory sur
prised even his own managers. On
Monday they were claiming that their
candidate would carry the State by
5000. This was n campaign claim and
II was in excess of their real expccta-
tions. Yet Bursum's plurality turns
out to be 1000 or 5000. This almost
equals the II 900 plurality of President
Harding and far exceeds the 5000 given
Governor Meechim one year ago or the
1000 by which Senator Fall went in.
These latter figures measure the nor

sas reports a keen attention to dis
armament, but the rest Of the country
does not.
Probably the agricultural States are
more interested in this topic than the
industrial States, which talk chiefly
about when prosperity will return:
Every one says that the tarif Is n
subject never mentioned spontaneously
by voters back home. Only when n
Senator or Representative brought mp
the tariff did the voter talk, and then In
a way that showed he had not been
thinking about it.
