HARDING WINS IN A GREAT LANDSLIDE

CLOSE RACES NARKED THE LOCAL GOiWSTS AT FOUR O'CLOCK THIS MORNING, OtMOCRATS CLAIMED ALL OFFICES—FIGSIT FDR TREASURERSHIP IS THE CLOSEST ONE.

J. F. Fruchte. democratic county chairman, claims the election of all the candidates on the county ticket. Cox will have a very slight plurality if any. while McCulloch carried the county by only a few hundred.

The rest of the candidates foflowed along, some of them close, but the greatest interest finally centered in the contest for the treasurer ship. South Kirkland was Che first to report. at 9:30, and by eleven, seven had come in. From that time on the returns kept dragging in until nearly morn. The crowds were orderly and there was, less celebrating than usual, the land being absent and after a short time all attention was given to figuring out results in the county. Reports from other nearby counties convinced those who have worked

Y„ Nov. 2—(Special ■to Daily Democrat) An effort was j made to “lock out" the democratic national committee from its offices in the Grand Central Palace here to day for an alleged non-payment of | rent according to a statement issued by the committee. The statement said the rent had been paid in full. “The merchants and manufactur ers exchange of New York which op i erates the Grand Central Palace attempted to stop the entire machinery of the democratic national committee by closing our doors this morning," the statement said. “This high handed outrage was utterly without excuse or warrant. The rent was paid to November 1. as our lease provides and this morning $3,000 cash, the monthly rent provided in the lease, was tendered the Grand Central Pal ace. They refused it." It was stated the doors actually had been locked against the committee fifteen minutes.
