U.S. ELECTIONS
GREAT REPUBLICAN
VICTORY
HARDING RETURNED BY HUGE MAJORITY
GENERAL DEMOCRATIC. COLLAPSE Br Tsloirraph—Preoß Association—OopyTlght (Rcc. November 3, 7.25 p.m.) New York, November 2. The Democrats claim Idaho and West Virginia. lb is indicated that Illinois and Pennsylvania will bo overwhelmingly Republican. It is stated that Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana will bo substantially Republican. Georgia, .Tennessee, and' Kentucky will be Democratic.
Incomplete returns from thirteen States give Harding 227 electoral votes, and seven give the Democrats S3.
Partial returns show California to be Republican, and Florida and Louisiana Democratic.
Democratic newspapers in New York Citv have conceded Harding's election. Hyde Park, Mr. Franklin Roosevelt's 'homo town, gave Harding a plurality of 80 votes. It is interesting to note that as tho counting proceeded it became evident that Governor Smith, the Democrat who is running for re-election in New York State, was receiving a much larger Vote than the Democratic ticket generally. All large cities showed substantial Harding pluralities, New York City giving Harding and Smith strong support. The preponderance of the vote cast for Hording was taken to mean, that the women had joined the men in supporting him.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.' (Rec. November 3, 7.55 p.m.) : New York, November 2. The New York "Times" concedes'that twenty States will givo Harding 284 electoral votes, and fourteen will givo Cox 152.
Tho New York "Times" and Chicago "Tribune" estimate that tho Senate will be composed of fifty-two Republicans and fortv-four Democrats, and the House of Representatives of 2.it Republicans and U8 Democrats.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. HARDING'S MAJORITY OVER FIVE MILLIONS. , (R-ec. November 3, 7.55 p.m.) ■ New York, November 3. Harding's plurality appears to be more than five millions.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. RECORD STATE MAJORITIES. (Rec. November 3, 10.40 p.m.) New York, November 3. Tho New York "Times" says that by majorities unprecedented in American politics Harding hasjieen electcd. The addition of women to the slectorate has accounted for some of this increase in Harding's margin over/ Cos, but by no means for all of it. ''Tho highest State pluralities ever recorded before have disappeared when compared with those of this election. Four States alone, namely New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,- and Illinois, gave Harding more than a two million plurality. This wjll probably mount with complete returns until the total plurality may reach undreamt of levels. At the time of writing it appears that Cox will only get 170 electoral votes and Harding the rest (361). Popular Democrats fell from coast to coast in a general collapse. The disaster seems to'- have beaten Governor Smith, who at first ran far ahead of the Democrats iu New York State.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
THE SOCIALIST VOTE. (Rec. November i, 1 a.m.) New York, November 3. The Socialist managers cltiimed a national vote of moi'e than two millions, but later returns did not provide a basis for judging the reliability of the estimates. Harding carried Marion, Dayton, and Princeton, New Jersey, ; which ia President Wilson's homo district. Mr. George White, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, not'xinly quickly conceded the election to the opponents, but luagnanimotisjiy sent' a dbugratulateVy telegram to Harding.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.' NEGRO WOMEPTDISFRANCHISED STATE LEGISLATURE FAILS TO PASS ENABLING ACT. ' ffiec. November 3, 9.25 p.m.) New York, November 2. A message from Atlanta reports that some disturbances occurred in several election districts when negro women cast their votes. The Stato Legislature had failed to pass an enabling Act following the : ratification of the suffrage amendment, and the Federal Judge immediately declared negro women votes illegal. No K'hite woman showed up at tho polls.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
