New York.--The next president of the United States will be Warren G. tIarding, present Republican United tates senator from Ohio, and the ext vice president will be Calvin acOOlidge, Republican governor of Mas. husetts. That is the verdict of the milllons of voters in one of the great- Wt victories of the Republican party , the history of the country. Overturning Democratic majorities n states like Ohio, New Hampshire nd Kansas, which gave their electoral votes to Woodrow Wilson in 1916, "when the early returns began to come (in from over the country it was ap- I>arent that there was a Republican landslide. While the full effect on the results Of the election of the votes of the Intlltons of women who exercised the franchise for the first time cannot be accur a'tbly guaged, it is apparent tat the Revlicau party received a great ,:majority, of the new woman vote. In WARREN G. HARDING everal instances Cox ran behind Wil- on's vote in 1916, while Harding :more than doubled the vote of Hughes, 4ndicating that the new voters sup- I)orted the Republican candidate. Kansas, with the double-board sys- tem, by which ballets are counted as east came in wiOh the first fairly -comprehensive returns which showed Harding and the Republican ticket leading there. 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 e election of Harding, Democratic Ckairman White also conceded the loetion era republican congress. One striking feature of the situationin aot an almost anomahs one, was tbat While the  eleCtiOU of Senator arding s being covde, there 0re actually not Duffielent election 4returns on band to compile a table of leotorll votes showing the distribu- tion of state's vot in the eotoral ollege.

Democratic .man- ,agers early in the night professed con- gidsnce that the votes from the west • would overcome the sentiment of the east wlhile the Republican managers ontinued to issue predictions of vie- tory. 275 Eleetorlal Votes Certain. From early returns Harding was Certain of 275 votes in the electoral ©ollege from the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa,' Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hamlmhire, Iew Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, eWahington, .W4soonsin and Wyoming.

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.

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.

The vote in 5565 up- state and New York City districts was Smith 1,039,169, Miller 1,036,138. The largest popular vote previously 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.

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.
