Congressional re- turns from many states were slow as » were indeed the;returns on the vote for President, but. the basis of ac- tual returns at hand seem to indicate that Harding would have not less than 330 votes in the electoral col- lege, with a probability of more than 350, while all that could be counted in the Cox column were the 127 votes from the solid south., Unless some sudden change were to appéar’ the returns would seem — to make: good the Republican prediction that Cox would not carry the western nor northern states. . ‘Election Unusual In many respects the election was very unusual.
