U.S. POLL.

; HARDING'S GREAT WIN. COUNTRY'S EMPHATIC CHOICE. COX CONGRATULATES yiCTOR. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Received Nov. 4, 9.25 p.m. ' New York, Nov. 3. Other Democratic States which registered large Democratic pluralities in every election since the war have now recorded unheard of Republican votes. All landmarks seem to have been swept away. Concrete figures available at present bear out the indications sent earlier It is expected, however, that the returns will exceed even the most sanguine' estimates, and until complete figures are announced it would not avail to attempt a further estimate.

A Dayton telegram says Mr. J. M. Cox (the Democrat nominee) sent a message to Mr. W. G. Harding (the Republican nominee) stating: "In the spirit of an American I accept the decision of the majority, and tender my congratulations, and pledge, as a citizen, my support to the executive authority in whatever emergency may arise."— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

GREAT REPUBLICAN SUCCESS, "LIKE A TIDAL WAVE." Received Nov. 4, 8 p.m. New York, Nov. 3, As returns from all over the country continue to come in Mr. Harding's plurality piles up. Republicans themselves are surprised at the victory, which, like a tidal wave, seems to have swept every Republican into office. Such a traditionally southern Democratic State as Tennessee seems to have gone Republican, whilst West Virginia, which the Democrats claimed with apparent good reason, now appears to have also gone Republican.—Aus.-N.Z.
