BREAK EVEN IN MANY BORDER
STATES AND RAID SOLID
SOUTH. !
' New York, Nov. 3.—(Associated
Press)—One of the most sweeping
Republican victories in party history
today stood recorded for Harding for
presidents and a Republican congress.
Tremendous, unparalleled Republican
pluralities beginning with the first
count of the ballots continued mount
ing today. |
Defeat was conceded early by the
Democratic leaders on the basis of a
rushing republican vote and despite‘
the absence early today of final, of-‘
ficial figures. With the presidency
and comgress went the loss to the de"
moerats of gcverncrs, state. legisla
tures and othér state local candidates.
A break even threatened to extend
into border states hitherto in the
“solid South,” with republican gains
in some southern states larger than
any since the civil war.
. In the absence of final figures, the.
repitblicans this morning had an as
surance of threa hundred and twenty
against one hundred and twenty seven
fcr Cox, with 70 doubtful.
Candldatebs Comment. .
The first trail of woman suffrage
contributed largely ‘to the republican
majorities ,andisalso. was ‘a factor in
delaying the count in many states.
Harding accepted .victory without ex
ultation, stating that ‘he was “more
given to prayer to God to make me
capable of playing my part,/' To
Coolidge he sent a message stating:
“We've got a real job and we’ll tack
le it together.”
Gov. Cox received his defeat with
out an outward show of feeling. With-

IS CAPTURED BY
NET GAIN OF TWENTY VOTES IN

EARLY SENATE GOES RE
PUBBLICAN. 3 :
~ New York, Nov. 3—Republican con
trcl in congress the next two years
with an increased house majerity and
2 prospective increase in the Senate
was the major portion of the elec
ticn sweep. The net gain is twenty‘
votes in the house as shown with
ccmplete returns from only seven
teen states, but with most of the
democratic strongholds reporting, 8
of ‘the 15 republican senatorial candi
dates had come in winners to day,
and.seven cthers had substantial
leads, while in ten other states all
the republican entrants were report
ed in the van. S
For the nineteen democratic seats.
nine of the majority party had been
¢lected, all from southern states.
while in the berder and westérn
states, others were fighting an up
hill battle. :
' That the geferal republican land
slide would seat several more repub
lican senators was predicted confi
dently by the campaign managers.
Both republican presidential and sen
in. California, Nevada. Missouri, Col
crado, Scuth Daketa, Idaho, Ohio and
Washington. In Ohio, Willis, Repub
lican, was reported ‘in the lead. .
In the house most of the veterans
both republicans and democrats, were
reelected, including Speaker Gillette,
now holding the record for contin
uance service and elected for the
fifteenth term. Cannon was also re
elected, as was Mann and good many
other prominent committee chairmen
Comparatively few changes in
committee chairmanships are expec
ted as a result in either senate or
house, but the increase in republican
membership and decrease of demo
cratic usually follows a marked,
change in political line up. |
Taxation, tariff and other tiscaw
measures will remain in charge o!‘
Senator Penrose and Representative |
Fordney; both of whom were reelec
ted. Most of the important senate
committee chairmanships remain ' in
the hands of Senators not involved in
