Democrats Find Consolation in Statements of DiSpIeased Republicans Victory

By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-HeraId.
 500 Davidson Building.

Washington, March 23.-(Special) The democratic national committee finds deep consolation in the despon- dency of some republicans. It quotes Representative Carl w. Riddick (re- publican, Montana) as having said at the conclusion of the first year of tho Harding administration: "No re- publican is entirely satisfied with re- suits so far accomplished"
 And the committee quotes Repre- sentative William R. Wood (repub- 1ioan, Indiana) as having said; Everybody is giving this Congress Lell."
 The committee, ensconced in new quarters in the Bond building, is in optimistic mood. It issues the fol- lowing:
 "The democratic landslide started fin Maine and produced the following results: Lewiston, Waterville, Rock land, Saco and Biddeford elected democratic mayors. Saco had been republican since 1911. The new mayor of Waterville was elected by the greatest majority ever given can didate in the history of the city.
 Docs not the fact that Marion, O, Hardings home town, Northamp- don, Mass, Calvin Coolidge's home town, and the numerous Maine mu- ricipalities, all went smashingly democratic, point to anything in your mind. To us, it means that the great reaction has set in.
 This is a democratic year"
