Feeling runs high during a national campaign but the moment that the decision of the electorate is announced the thought in the public mind is that ’of pleasure that the event has passed. The spirit of America is that the voice of the ma jority must rule in the nation’s af fairs. From ‘this traditional stand point there must be no departure now. Figures associated with the election results will be studied and conclusions reached course of time. There will soon be a return to our customary pursuits as a peo ple.

Democrats 159, Independ ents 2, Prohrs 1 NEW YORK, Nov. 3. —Republicans will control the house of representa tives which goes into office March 4, 1921, by a majority of more than 100 votes, according to partially com plete returns from all over the United States. Os the 435 members of the lower house, the Republicans will have 273 aconding to these figures. There will be 150 Democrats, 2 Independets and one Prohibitionist, a total of 162, giv ing the Republicans a margin of 111. In the present house the Republi cans have a majority of 39, with 233 members to 194 of the Democrats, In dependents and Prohibitionists. There are eight vacancies. Most of the veterans, both Re publicans and Democrats, were re-elected, including Speaker Gil lett, now holding the record for continuous service and elected for iiis fifteenth term. Former Speaker Cannon, who has served twenty-two terms, but not continuously, also was re-elected, as were Representative Mann, of Illi nois, former Republican leader: Chairman Good, of the appropriations committee, and other prominent com-' mittee chairmen. Comparatively few changes in com mittee chairmanships are expected to result in either senate or house, but increase of Republican member ship and decrease of the Democratic usually follows a marked change in political line-up. Taxation, tariff and other fiscal measures will remain in charge of Senator Penrose, chairman, of the senate finance committee, and Repre sentative Fordney, chairman of the house ways and means committee, both of whom were re-elected. Senator'Wadsworth, of New York, is expected to continue as chairman of the senate military affairs com mittee and, under the seniority rule. Representative Kahn, of California, also re-elected, would continue in like capacity for the house commit tee. Most of the important senate com mittee chairmanships remain In the hands of senators not involved in yesterday’s elections. Among prospective changes in house committee heads is probable promotion of Representative McFad den, Pennsylvania banker, who clash ed with John Skelton Williams, comptroller of currency, to the chair manship of the house banking com mittee, succeeding Representative Platt, of New York, retiring.

HARDING CALVIN COOLIDGE REPUBLICAN IS AHEAD IN TENN. FOR GOVERNOR NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 3. Early this afternoon the votes still were being counted in the larger Tennessee cities, and the question of who had carried the state for presi dent still was undecided. Harding’s lead in the unofficial returns and estimates on counties late in report ing had crept up to 4,500. In the race for governor, unof ficial returns and estimates gave Alf Taylor, Republican, a lead of well over 20,000 over Governor A. H. Roberts. Taylor is the brother of the late Democratic senator, Robert L. Tay lor, who thrice was elected gover. ■> of Tennessee. This year’s race tor governor was Alf Taylor’s second, his first having been against his brother, Bob, in 1886, known in Ten nesssee traditions as “The War of the Roses.” He served in congress several terms and, though seventy two years of age, made an active canvass of the state both for the Republican nomination and in the recent campaign. The Republicans piled up heavy majorities in east Tennessee, while the Democratic majorities in middle Tennessee; in many cases fell below normal despite the votes of the women. Some Democratic counties in in this section even went Repub lican. Tennessee never has gone Republi can in a presidential race since re construction days. A Republican candidate for governor never has heretofore carried the state without a split in the Democratic ranks in ’the same period. An extraordinarily heavy vote was polled generally over the state and in the large cities the count still is in progress. In Nashville only eight out of twenty-five wards had finished in counting at 10 o’clock. Tennessee had two women candi dates for the legislature: Mrs. Carrie M. Clemens, Democrat, in Gi*W county, and Miss Frances Wolf, In dependent candidate in Shelby. Both were defeated. Harry T. Burn, Republican candi date for re-election to the legisla ture in McMinn county, whose vote fiured in the suffrage. ratification fight before the extra session, was at first reported defeated. Reports late this morning are that the race is close. Democratic state headquarters does not concede the state either in the presidential or the gubernatorial claiming the latter by a small majority.

I STATE FOR COX BY MAJORITY OF FIVE TO ONE Early and incomplete returns show that Georgia has gone Democratic by a majority of four or five to one. The vote for Harding, though ap parently larger than Georgia usually gives a Republcian nominee, is not likely to equal the vote received in Georgia by Mr. Taft in 1908, when he got approximately 41,000 to 71,000 for Mr. Bryan. Republican predictions that their candidate would carry Georgia, or at least would give the Democratic candidates a close run for their mon ey, completely failed to materialize. The majority for Cox and Roosevelt was overwhelming and dr as experienced observers predicted It would be. In norhtwest Georgia there was. as usual, a majority for the Repub lican ticket in certain counties which usually go Republican, among these being Pickens, Polk, Gordon, Doug las and Whitfield. The exact re turns from these counties had not been reported Wednesday, but the indications were that they went Re publican. Polk county has gone Re publican in national elections for more than fifty years, except when Woodrow Wilson headed the Demo cratic ticket. » All other Democratic candidates •likewise swept the state, according to incomplete returns. Thomas E. Watson, Democratic nominee f the United States senate, had carried ev er, county heard from Wednesday. The indicat is were that his oppo nent, Harry Stillwell Edwards, would not carry a single county. Congressmen Overstreet, Crips Upshaw and Bell, ho were opposed by Republican candidates in thejr districts, were re-elected by very large majorities, according to all re turns available Wednesday. The balance of the Democratic nominees were unopposed by the Republican state central committee. Very few returns had been receiv ed Wednesday on the twelve consti tutional amendments which were submitted to the people in this elec tion, but these returns indicated that the amendments, as usual, had been rat'"' Cobb for Cox Marietta, Ga., Nov. 3. —Official vote for president in Cobb county was: Cox, 1,210;' Harding, 1,094.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3—The scope of the Republican victory that swept the nation yesterday continued to grow as the returns were compiled today. The returns showed that: Senator Harding has been elected president by the greatest popular vote ever amassed in the history ot American politics, and the largest electoral vote ever rolled up ,by Republican candidate. Republicans have strengthened their grip on the senate and will have a working majority of from twelve to sixteen seats. They will have a top-heavy ma jority of approximately 100 votes in the house.v Republican governors were seated in every state except those of the solid south. Senator Harding’s electoral vote had reached 372, with indications that it might go to the 400 mark. His popular plurality seemed like ly to exceed 6,000,000. The unofficial results presaged a larger majority in the electoral col lege for Senator Harding and bls running mate. Governor Coolidge, of Massachusetts, than any since 1888 except alone the vote of 435 for President in 1912 during the Re- publican "split.” G. O. P. Gains in Congress The republican congressional swing was as strong, Increased ma jorities in both senate and house be ing marked up. Early today victory for virtually all fifteen Republican senators for re-election was spelled by the returns, while about a half dozen of the nineteen Democratic candidates were battling against Re publican leads. The first trial of woman suffrage contributed largely to the Republican majorities and, also, was a factor in delaying the count in many states. The millions of women’s ballots also swelled the popular vote recorded be yond all records. Senator Harding accepted his vic tory without exultation, stating that he was “more given to prayer to God to make me capable of playing my part.” To Governor Coolidge the next vice president, he sent a message stating; “We’ve got a rear job and we’ll tackle it together." Governor Coi also received his de feat without untoward show of feel ing. He withheld any comment, aft er remaining at his newspaper of fice at Dayton, Ohio, until almost midnight and seeing his own paper issue an early extra edition recount ing his defeat. Senator Harding, Governor Cool idge, Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee, and other Republican leaders exchanged telegrams of congratulations. Sena tor Harding commended Mr. Haya upon the "successful management of a great campaign” and also told Gov ernor Coolidge that he would expect him to “play a full part in the com ing Republican administration.” League Dead, Says Borah The League of Nations issue was stressed by Senator Borah, of Idaho prominent among the league’s foes, in a statement declaring that he re garded the election as “the triumpl for nationalism and the death of th< League of Nations.” None of the minor parties, the So cialist, the Farmer-Labor, , nor Pro hibition, figured in the presidents, results. Socialist headquarters ai Chicago claimed an increased vot< and the party re-elected three Neu York Socialist assemblymen who hat been expelled.

The Farmer-Labor candidate, Par ley P. Christensen, of Salt Lake (City, had not been located at an early houi today. Senator Harding, with the receipt of the ballot tidings—on his fifty fifth birthday—announced plans for a vacation, beginning next Friday. He will spend several days near Browns ville, Tex., and then tour the Panama canal zone. Governor Cox also is planning a vacation on a hunting trip in Mississippi. Ohio—the home of both Senator Harding and Governor Cox—New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania fur nished the largest Republican plural ities.
