Harding Landslide In East,
In New York and New England, as
tn Ohio and Indiana, the Harding ma-
Jorities reported indicated a landslide
|n the east.
As the landslide in the east con.
tlnued to roll on and the first indtca-
€ions came that it would extend west-
ward, the Democratic managers in
ew York issued announcements con-
ed,ing the election of Harding.
At the same moment he conceded

Ckairman White also conceded the

ticket has carried the state by a tre-
mendous majority.
Returns from other parts of the
country ffaowed Harding votes con-
spicuous in communities normally sol-
idly Democratic.
The states from which returns were
too meager to Justify actually placing
them in either the Harding or Cox
column were AHzona 8, California I,
Colorado 6, Indiana 15," Kentucky 13,
Maryland 8, Minnesota 12, Missouri 18,
Montana 4, Nevada 3, New Mexico 3,
North Dakota 5, South Dakota 5, Utah
4 and West Virginia 8; total 120.
Cox States Are Listed.
The states which were certain for
Cox at that hour were: Alabama, Ar-
kansas, Florida, Oeorgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Okla-
homa, Sou Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia. Total of 136
votes in the electoral college.
That Tennessee was carried by
Harding was indicated by unofficia
CALVIN COOLIDGE
returns compiled by the Knoxville
Journal and Tribune from 65 of the
95 counties in Tennessee, giving Hard-
ing a plurality of 18,422 over Cox.
Republicans Sweep Illinois.
Reports from Illinois were that the
Republicans had swept that state from
the metropolitan contest in Chicago,
where a clean victory was scored for
all offices, to the rural regions, giving
Senator Harding a lead so large that
if the ratio kept up for unreported
precincts his majority over Governor
Cox would be more than 800,000. Len
Small was elected governor by a large
margin over ex-Senator Lewis. Wil-
liam B. McKinley was elected United
States senator to succeed Lawrence Y.
Sherman.
Although Minnesota reported that
Harding apparently had carried that
state by a decisive majority, the Re-
publican state ticket, especially for
governor and one or two other offices,
was running a close race with candi-
dates idorecd by the Non-partisan
lgue.
Republteen| Gain in Loulelann.
IuIslana eports were that Repub-
licks tlns Lwere the heaviest recorded
in any of the co.tests since civil war
days. /
Just before 9 o'clock Tuesday night
the New York World, which supported
Cox, fladbed its signal lights to an-
nounce the election of Harding.
Early returns in Boston forecast a
Republican plurality of 50,000 in the
presidential race.
Boston has not been carried by a
Republican national ticket since 1896,
according to party leaders here. Pres-
ident Wilson carried the city by ap-
proximately 18,000 in the last presi.
dential contest.
The Republican plurality outside
the city of Boston will not be less
than 400,000.
Boston itself gave the Republican
ticket a lead of 30,000 to 40,000.
The Republican hope of breaking
the "solid South" did not mato.rializs.
North Carolina, the only state in wbtc'h
there was even a slight chance for the
Republican ticket, remains in the
Democratic column, and the other
southern states, Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Texas and Virginia, which
have uniformly cast their electoral
votes for the Democratic presidential
candidates gave Cox and Roosevelt
he usual majorities.
Cellfon'lla Land Bill Appease Law.
San Francisoo.Returns appear to
indicate that the anti.allen land amend-
ment, which has been the subject of
diplomatic exchanges between the
state department and Tokio, has car-
ried.
THE MASON COUNTY JOURA
HARDING PLURALITY
IN NEW YORK HUGE
New York.--With the possible ex-
ception of the contest for the governor-
ship, which is in doubt, Republicans
apparently have made a clean sweep
in New York state.
incomplete returns give Harding 1,-
498,934, Cox 648,445.
If this ratio is maintained in the
missing districts, Senator Harding will
carry the state by the unprecedented
plurality of 1,125,000.
Governor Smith's lead has been cut
down to 031. The vote in 5565 up-
state and New York City districts was
Smith 1,039,169, Miller 1,036,138.

received by a presidential candidate
in New York state was 870,070, which
Mr. Taft polled in 1908. The previous
record plurality was made in 18H
when McKinley led Bryan by 268,375.
United States Senator James W.
Wadsworth Jr. was leading his Demo-
cratic opponent, Lieutenant-Governor
Harry Walker, by 323,991 votes.
HARDING HAS BEST BIRTHDAY
Surrounded by Family and Friends,
Senator Receives Returns.
"-Marion, O.Warren G. Itarding
Tuesday had the greatest birthday
Party of his flf."
SurroUnded by members of his fam-
ily and a circle of neighbors and per-
sonal, frfs,'he received quietly at
his home here the tribute of the mil-
lions who had voted to present him
on his 55th anniversary with the pres-
idency of the United States.
The smile of confidence he has worn
for weeks broadened as he received
tbe early returns and begau to re-
ceive a flood of congratulations hail-
ing him as the president-elect.
While the senator was at dinner a
.ommittee of employes of the Marion
:Jtar, his newspaper, called to present
him with a gold printer's makeup rule,
and he came out on the front porch
and, with his voice choking with emo-
tion, thanked them for their devotion.
COOLIDGE GETS RETURNS
Joy Is Expressed in Nature Of Support
Received,
Boston.Governor Coolidge receiv-
ed returns from the election with
friends at the Hotel Touraine. He
issued a statement thanking the voters
for their support and expressing a
surance of victory.
The statement follows:
i "It is with a great deal of gratitude
that I have seen by the incoming re-
turns the extent of the victory and
have realized its source. While I re-
Joice in its great proportions, I rejoice
even more in the nature of the support
I received. It means e end of a
period which has seemed to substitute
words for things and the beginning of
a period of real patriotism and true
national honor."
