If that is borne out tm this in. stance, the democrats stand to win in 1924 by the most stupendous ma- jorities ever polied in this country.

Late returns coming in caused Johnson's supporters to predict his margin would be 400,000 votes. Indications were that the final count would justify Richardson's pre-election claims that he would win by 160,000.

In 1920 they made it unanimous by electing Presi- dent Harding and an overwhelmingly republican con- gress. Now in 1922 Harding and his republican fol- lowers in their turn stand largely repudiated. The bal- lot record tells a significant story. Having “given the gate” to both old parties in rapid succession, the American people have perhaps shown that they are thru with the old system of two party “regular” government altogether, There must be something very real in the minds of a vast body of our people that neither of the old parties can touch. Maybe it is some idea of progress or personal liberty or the rights of citizens. Anywa: y, it certainly is not any such long-debated issue as the tariff or “more business in government.” The door is wide open fo r a third party or indepen- dent ticket in 1924, including candidates for all offices right up to the presidency.

C. ee | States senate, was maintaining his lead Thursday over Senator Miles Poindexter by such a substantial margin that his election was, abso lutely assured. The 2,291 precincts gave Dill 132- 879 as against 125,672 for Poindex- ter, a plurality of 7,307. Recheck of returns from King and Pierce counties may deduct 1,000—aitho | even that seems unlikely—from this figure, but Dill would still lead by more than 6,300—which is far too big a margin for Poindexter to overcome in the 155 precincts still to be heard from. It seems highly probable that Dil’s own claim of a 5,000 plurality will be exceeded, Complete figures from Pierce county showed little change as the result of the re-check bein: The vote was: Dill, 12,612; Poin- dexter, 11,528, and Duncan, 4,292, While Charles Hebberd, republicen. chairman, is still clinging on to (1@ faint hope that machine errors may prove sufficiently great to let Poin- dexter Squeeze in, there are few. among the party leaders who share hij faith, and, unofficially, at least, Dill's election ts conceded by his op- ponents. Dill’s lead in Seattle has been cut to 2,448, as the result of a recheck, which has been unoffi- cially made by County Auditor D. E. Ferguson, making the vote 24,193 for Dill and 21,745 for Poindexter in the city. Dill still has a substantial lead for the county, however, the revised figures being: Dill, 31,321; Poin- dexter, 25,249, and Duncan, 11,- 206, with all but 14 precincts re- porting. Unexpectedly strong tho he was, Dill was unequal to the task of sweeping the democratic candidates for the lower house of congress into office with him. In all five districts in the state the republican congress men seem to have been elected— John F. Miller, Lindley H. Hadley, Albert Johnson, J. W. Summers and J. Stanley Webster, in the first, seo- ond, third, fourth and fifth districts, respectively, Nor was the rest of the demo- cratic ticket any more success- ful. Altho Dill carried King county by 7,000 or more, not an- other democrat came anywhere near success, Sheriff Matt Star wich, leading the county ticket, piled up an impressive majority of 25,000 over his democratic op- ponent, and even the lowest man among the republican nominees, Prosecuting Attorney Malcolm Douglas, had a margin of at least 5,000. The King county legislative eleo tion also went solidly republican, most of the eandidates getting @ clean majority over both farmerla bor and democratic candidates. In other sections of the state however, the republicans lost several legislative seats, altho they are as sured of control of both houses by comfortable majorities.
