HARDING SWEEPS AND WILL BE NEXT PRESIDENT STATES CONSIDERED DOUBT- FUL ARE CARRIED New England States, New York and Ohio Go Re- publican. New York.—The next president of the United States will be Warren G. Harding, Republican United States senator from Ohio, and the next president will Calvin Coolidge, Republican governor of Mas- sachusetts. hat is the verdict of the millions of voters in one of the great- eet victories of the Republican party im the history of the country present vice be Overturning Democratic in states like Ohio, New Hampshire and Kansas, which gave their electoral votes to Woodrow Wilson in 1916, when the early returns began to come in from over the country it was ap- parent that there was a Republican landslide. While the full effect on the results of the election of the votes of the millions of women who exercised the franchise for the first time cannot be accurately guaged, it is apparent that the Republican party received w great majority of the new woman vote. In WARREN G. HARDING several instances Cox ran behind Wil- son's vote ix 1 while Harding more than doubled the vote of Hughes, indicating that the new voters sup- ported the Republican candidate. Kansas, with the double-board sys tem, by which ballots are counted as cast, came in with the first fairly comprehensive returns which showed Harding the Republican ticket leading there. and Harding Landslide in East. In New York and New England, as in Ohio and Indiana, the Harding ma- Jorities reported indicated a landslide in the east. As the landslide in the east con- tinued to roll on and the first indica. tions came that it would extend west- ward, the Democratic rs in New York issued announcements con- ceding the election of Harding The Harding-Coolidge ticket carried every state north of the Mason-Dixon line and every state west of the Mis- sissippi river with the exception of Ar- kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas and pos: y the two doubtful states of the Mextcan border. On the popular plurality where from 4,000,000 to 7, managers face of returns, Harding's is estimated any 00,000 votes, possibly more, and the Ohio senator | seemed. assured of having around 389 votes in tie It is the greatest victory ever scored by a Republican candidate for the presi dency, far exceeding that of Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 Million Plurality in New York. New York gave Harding a plurality estimated roughly 1,000,000; Pen nsylvania, a Republican stronghold, three quarters of a million; Ilinois, 800,000; Michigan, 400,000; California, 600,000; 300,000, and Ohio, the home state of both candi dates, gave Harding a victory round- ly estimated at 350,000. The Republicans succeeded in turn- ing back into the Republican column every Northern and Western state which Woodrow Wilson carried over Charles E. Hughes in 1916. Four years ago the Central and Far West elected Wilson. Tuesday those same states rolled up impressive majorities for Harding. Fourteen states which in 1916 were carried by Wilson and which Harding’ carmed Tuesday were Cali- fornia, Colorado, Kansas Missouri, (continued on page 2) electoral college at Massachusetts, majorities | REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF | SENATE CERTAIN |Cox and Roosevelt Win the Votes of the Southern States. The 13 states which Governor Cox | appears to have certainly carried are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Kentucky, South Carcliaa, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia One of the usual features of the election was that Judge Nathan L. Mil ler, Republican candidate for governor jot New York, ran nearly a million votes behind the Republican national ticket und yes was elected by a substantial plurality. “AL” Smith, Tammany hall's favorite son, polled nearly a million more votes in New York than Cox and yet was de- feuted. Miller's plurality was esti- mated between 60,000 and 80,000. Republicans Sweep [Ilinois. Reports from IWinois were that the Republicans had swept that state from the metropolitan contest in Chicago, where a clean victory was scored for all offices, to the rural regions, giving | Senator Harding a lead so large that CALVIN COOLIDGE if the ratio kept up for unreported precincts his majority over Governor Cox would be more than 800,000. Len Small was elected governor by a large margin over ex-Senator Lewis. Wil liam B. McKinley was elected United States senator to succeed Lawrence Y. Sherman Although Minnesota reported that Harding apparently had carried that state by a decisive majority, the Re- publican state ticket, especially for governor and one or two other offices, was running a close race with candi- dates indorsed by the Non-partisan league. Republicans Gain in Louisiana. Louisiana reports were that Repub- lican gains were the heaviest recorded in any of the contests since civil war | days Just before 9 o'clock Tuesday night the New York World, which supported Cox, flashed its signal lights to an- nounce the election of Harding. Early returns in Boston forecast a Republican plurality of 50,000 in the presidential race. Boston has not been carried by a Republican national ticket since 1896, | according to party leaders here. Pres ident Wilson carried the city by ap- 18,000 in the last presi dential contest The Revublican plurality outside }the city of Boston will not be less ‘than 400,000. Boston itself gave the Republican | ticket a lead of 30,000 to 40,000, The electoral votes of only states appeared to be in doubt—those of Arizona and New Mexico, each with | three The returns from these two | were slow and the vote so close that it may take several days to determine the results. The Cox-Roosevelt ticket carried the | solid South, comprising 13 states, and nothing else, barring possible victories in Arizona and New Mexico. | The sixty-seventh congress will be almost overwhelmingly Republican. The senate will be Republican by a | majority of at least twelve, and pro |ably fourteen, an increase of ten or |twelve over the majority in the present senate of two. Complete re- |turns indicated also that Republicans | would control the house of representa- | tives by a majority of possibly 100. | How about that subscription? proximately two 'serious drawback |Mrs George Medved. |tlemen’s prize, by Frank Albers TO MAKE SURVEY.

Mr. Morris expects to leave with his family for the coast after the sale. He has been a resident of this sec- | | ‘tion since he was 12 vears old and through hard work has man- aged to accumulate enough of the world’s goods that he feels he is entitled to a vacation which he is going to take. NASH IN BANK. J. V. Nash, who last week re- signed his position as postmast- er, of the Cottonwood post office on Monday accepted a position with the First National Bank as assistant cashier. Ira Robert- son, who has held this position, having resigned and will leave for Kamiah, where he will accept a similar position in the Clear- water State Bank, an organiz> tion recently organized by his father, Geo. M. Rohertson and in which institution Ira is financi- _ ally interested. | TRAIN KILLS HORSE. Peter Bieren lost horse near Ferdinand Tuesday evening when the passenger train ran into two of his horses, killing one and seriously injur- ing another. The horses were turned out for the night and in some manner managed to get on- to the right-of-way and were standing on the track when the passenger ran into them. The horse killed was Mr. Bieren’s finest animal and weighed in the neighborhood of 1450 pounds. a valuable CEMENT WORK STOPS. Peter Book, who has_ been building cement walks in Cotton- woed the past summer, Wednes- day of this week discharged his crew and all walks remaining yn- built at this time will have to be completed in the spring, owing to the lateness of the season and cold weather which has been a for sidewalk construction.

The last lingering hopes of the bean farmers on the ridges sur- rounding Juliaetta were blasted on Thursday morning at 4 o'clock when another heavy downpour of rain began and con- tinued at intervals all day. Three well placed forward pas- ses when Idaho was within strik- ing distance of Whitman’s goal gave Idaho three touchdowns and goals in the first half and | such a lead that Whitman could not overcome it.
