SCOPE OF REPUBLICAN VICTORY GROWS

LATE RETURNS CUT DOWN G. 0. P. INDIANA LEAD Whole State Ticket Swept to Victory With National Leaders. EWING’S RACE CLOSE Republican State headquarters this afternoon announced that the G- O. Plead In Indiana had been cut from their original estimate of 223,000 to 160.000 by returns from counties coming In late. Returns from Marlon County, v. here the result was comparatively close, had an appreciable Influence In reducing the original estimate. Estimates at Republican headquarters place the possible plurality at 223,000. Latest available returns Indicated that the Democrats' last hope, the hope that they would elect John W. Ewing as Congressman from the Third dlstrlc*. was shattered when virtually complete returns showed that his opponent, James W. Dunbar, had carried the district by about 700. The Republicans claim seventy-six out of the ninety-two counties In the State, concede eleven -to the Democrats and place five in the doubtful column. The great surprise to the Democrats was the fact the voters did not scratch. Watson, who Democrats predicted would run far behind his ticket and who many Republicans admitted was not a strong candidate, ran about one vote to the precinct behind Harding and about two votes to the precinct behind McCray, who apparently led the ticket. VOTERS EVIDENTLY APPROVE TAX LAW. That the voters of Indiana are not objecting to the Goodrich tax law, which has added millions to the burden of taxation in the Btate, was indicated by the fact that many scratched their tickets In favor of McCray as a successor to Governor Goodrich. The Democrats had counted on the socalled labor rote. But, as 1n 1918. the labor rate, if there is such a thing as a unit, failed to materialize. Democrats began to lose confidence early on election day when report after report indicated that voters were casting tbeir ballots straight. There never was a great deal of confidence among the Democrats that the national or State ticket would be able to carry the State, although they Insisted there was a strong possibility. On the other haDd, they were confident that Mr. Taggart would be elected and his failure even to make a good showing was the greatest surprise. NO MYSTERY ABOUT THE WOMEN. i The woman vote Is no longer mysjtery—lt was strongly Republican. I it was the woman vote, undoubtedly, "that broneht about the enormous Republican victory. Politicians are trying to explain this and their theory is that the women “fell for” the statement of many Republican campaign speakers that the League of Nations would mean armed participation by the United States In European affairs. Returns were rather fast In coming in, despite the enormous vote, and It was early apparent that the Democrats had ro ehenre to carry the State. They lost Vanderburgh County, the home of Benjamin Bosse, their State chairman. ALL IMPORTANT COUNTIES GO G. O. P. They lost Allen County, the home of Edward G. Hoffman, secretary of the national committee. They lost Marion County, where they bad lnslste.l Taggart would receive a Urge plurality. They lost everything they had hoped to gain In the general landslide which enveloped the nation. Democratic headquarters closed early, there was nobody there this morning: the party had suffered perhaps the most overwhelming defeat In its history in a year when It thought it had a chance.. VIGO.

PLURALITIES IN MARION COUNTY ARECUTDOWN Early Republican Claims Met by Figures Showing Loss in Party Vote. SLUMP IS NOTICEABLE Unofficial tabulation of the official returns In Marion County indicated thi* aftfernoon that the Republicans had not obtained anywhere near the pluralities they claimed nor those indicated by the geueral landslide in the State. One hundred of the 177 precincts give Harding a plurality of 8,418 and Watson a plurality of 5,790. The difference between the earlier tabulation of sixty-one precincts and the tabulation of ninety-two prednetts indicated that the Republican plurality would be nearer 10.000 than 20.000, by which the Republicans claimed the county. In view of the fact that the Republicans carried Marion County In 1918 by approximately 10,000 votes without the assistance of the women voters, the pluralities obtained in this election Indicate practically a slump In the Republican vote In the county. REPUBLICANS POLL CLAIM GIVEN SHOCK. Contrasted with the'extraordlnary success of the Republican ticket In all the other congressional districts, this slump is more noticeable. The Republicans claimed their poll of the county showed a plurality of 26,444 votes. Apparently about 8,000 of theae vote* went to the Democratic party In this county. Tue controlled negro vote made possib,e the sweeping victory of the entire Republican Marlon County ticket. Incomplete official returns Indicated early today. Republican lenders relied safely on the negro vote of Indianapolis to establish a lead which the Democrats could not overcome In their heaviest products. The Indiana avenue districts gave gigantic returns to Ralph Lemeke, tho present county treasurer, and William Evans, wh ohas been a deputy under Claris Adams, the present prosecutor. The returns clearly indicate that ths colored women voted the straight Ropublicau ticket and In this way swelled the totals. TAGGART RAN AnEAD IN SOME PRECINCTS In many of the heavy white voting precincts of the city Thomas Taggart. Democratic nominee for United States Senator, received B heavier vote than the highest presidential elector. The returns also show that la some of the German prerirets of the city where the Democrats received a heavy vote four years ago, the vote was materially decreased and in some cases nearly cut In half. An examination of the returns shows that while the Democrats Increased their minority standing In the county by additional woman's vote, the woman’s vote, (Continued on sage Eleven.)

It is a renewed ex press ton of confident AmeriJ canl .m and a national call to the Republican potty. j “It Is aiso serious. The obligations j are so solemn, that Instead of exulting I am more given to prayer to God to make me capable of playing my part, i aud that all those called to responsibility may meet tbe aspirations and expectations of America and the world, j “I am sure the people w.io have voted tho Republican ticket will understand i my feeling mat t should make no un i studied statement of policies at tilts time be) oud the expressions made ; throughout the campaign." The statement which the President ) elect, wrote with a pencil In his Library j began: “Assuming that the early returns are ; wholly deptndable, I do not hesitate to say that I am pleased, of course." •j President-elect Hnrding tent the following message* of congratulations: | To Will lLoys: “My gratitude along 1 with congratulations ou your cupable and successful management of a great campaign " To Governor Calvin Coolldge: “My b- artiest congratulations over the great Republican victory to which your strength added so materially. “You are expected to play a full part In the coming Republican administration. Good wishes."

CHAIRMAN WHITE NEW Y'OKK, Nov. 3.—George White, chairman of tbe Democratic nat onai committee, after conceding Harding's election, made the following stst.-incut: “The abandonment by some of the most prominent Republican ’enders of the League of Nations which they helped to construct has been successful. “The people have succumbed to the confusion wrought by these distinguished men nnd to tho misrepresentation of those who would not and did not understand the League of Nations. I hope It may yet be rescued from the political morass and be saved to mankind. “No one has any occasion for bltter-i-eas or recrimination. What the whole people decide the whole people must accept. The Democratic national committee abides by the result cheerfully, If with foreboding. Senator Harding will be the people's President. “In this election Republican propaganda has been shrewdly directed to Induce tho descendants of six European nations to vote as six European nations, instead of ns one American nation. “Our common task must be to coalesce those groups again. IRISH PROBLEM IS RETURNED TO BRITISH. “The fate of Irish freedom has been settled adversely. Men nnd women of Irish blood bnve voted for the Candidate who has declared the Irish question to he tho domestic problem of Grent Britain i In which we cun have no official concern. With their support the American people ; have returned the Irish problem to Downing street. They have Indorsed, I am sod to say, a separate peace with Germany'.

CONGRESS NOW IN CONTROL OF REPUBLICANS Senate Majority of Twelve Sure With Forty Democratic Seats. GAIN OF 33 IN HOUSE NEW YORK, Nov. 3—The Republican majority In the next Senate will be at least twelve as a result of the unprecedented majorities given President-elect Warren G. Harding and other Republican candidates at Tuesday's election. With s.nntffrial races In Oregon, Nevada und Arizona still In doubt. Republican successes In twenty contest* Increased their scats to Etty-four, while eleven Democratic victories gave them a total of thirty-nine seats. The margin by which Republican leaders will control the Senate will be sufficiently wide to Insure that Mr. Harding will receive adequate support for whatever domestic policies are laid down by him, it was declared at Republican national headquarters here Even If certain Republican Senators of pronounced Independence of action and Tiews should offer opposition to the HardlDg Administration on domestic questions, Mr. Harding will still have the support of a comfortable working majority In the upper chamber of the new Sixty-Seventh Cor-gress. It Is expected, owing to pressing leg lslatlve requirements of the country, that President-Elect Harding will call the new Congress In special or extra session In March or April next or soon after his inauguration on March 4. The new Senate will convene automatically, in accordance with recognized custom, immediately after Mr. Harding takes office, to give consideration to whatever cabinet and other appointments to office he may make. Mr. Harding will dominate the new Senate sufficiently. It was :&id, to insure (Continued on Page Five.)

ASSEMBLY TO BE REPUBLICAN Proponents of Goodrichism Will Return to Next Session. The Republican majority In the next Indiana Legis’ature will be as overwhelm!: g as the Republican vote in the State, returns Indicated today. Avallab’e returns indicate that ei-'bty-alx of tbe 100 members of the House will be Republicans six will be Democrats and the contests In other districts are still In doubt. , Indications are that twenty of the twenty-five Kepablb-an candidates for the Senate bare been elected and that the Republicans will have thirty-eight or forty members of the upper house. Most cf the men who voted for the Goodrich tax law and for the TuthlllKlper tax law, and for all the other notorious Goodrich legislation olil return when the General Assembly convenes In January. In the last Legislature the Republican majority was so g:eat It made the Democratic minority utterly Ineffective. Indications are tbe Democratic minority In the next Legislature will be so small a to be Insignificant. Inasmuch as returns on legislative candidates are the last to come la, no poiltive statements can be made; but If the voters voted for legislators the way thiy voted for the State and National tickets, a cumber of counties and districts which usually send Democrats to the Assembly will be represented by Republicans. The entire Marlon County delegation will be Republican. The Marion Connty Senators will be Winfield Miller, Charles J. Bnchnnan, Arthur R. Baxter, Robert L. Moorehead and William E. English. The representatives will be Paul L. IlawortU, Clinton U. Glvan, James L. Kingsbury, Frank J. Noll, Henry Abrams. John L. Benedict, Thomas Harvey Cox, John T. Jameson, Russell H. Harrison and Omtr U.

POPULAR VOTE GREATEST EVER POLLED IN U. S. President-Elect Assured of Comfortable Majority in Both Houses. MAY EXCEED 6 MILLION NEW YORK, Not. 3. —The scope of the Republican victory that swept the nation yesterday continues to grow as the return* were complied today. These returns showed that: Harding has been elected President by tbe greatest popular vote ever amassed In the history of American politics and the largest electoral vote ever rolled up by a 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 majority of approximately 100 votes In the House. Republican Governors were elected Ja every State except those of the solid South. Harding's electoral vote had reached 37, with Indications that doubtful States might carry the figure to the 400 mark. His popular plurality seemed certain to exceed six million. The electoral rotes of only two States appeared to be In doubt L-.lay—those of Arizona and New Mexico, each with three. The returns from there 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 eleven States, and nothing else, barring possible victories In Arizona and New Mexico. The Hardlng-Coolldge ticket carried I every State north of the Mason-Dixon j line and every State west of the Mississippi river with exception of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas and possibly tbe two doubtful States of the j Mexican border, t a. O. P. PLURALITY FROM 4.00* 000 to 7 000 000. j On the face of available returns. Hardi tag's popular plnrallty Is estimated anywhere from 4,000.000 to 7,000,000 votes, j possibly more, and the Ohio Senator seemed assured of having around 389 votes In the electoral college. It Is the greatest victory ever scored by a Republican candidate-'for the presidency, far exceeding that of Theodore Roosevelt in UKH. “T. R.” had a popular , plurality of 2.541.291 and had 336 votes ! la the electoral college. Staggering pluralities were run np la many States, due to the addition of milI lions of woman votes. The Republican i national ti< ket appears to have esptured must of tho new votes. , New York gave Harding a plurality estimated roundly at 1.000,000; Pennsylvania. a Republican stronghold, 750.010: j Illinois, 800 0U0; Michigan, 400.000; Cali- ; fornia. 500.000; Massachusetts, 300,000, aud Ohio tbe home State of both candli dates, gave Hnrding a victory roundly , estimated at 330.000.
