In comment, the household word
nvulancho secMs the handiest. The
Itcpubllcan avalanche began at the
Canadian border, from Maine to Wash
ington, and swept the country clean
clear to Mason and Dixon's line and
broke the Solid South.
Tlio Itcpubllcan avalanche swept
Tennessee, Oklahoma, Now Mexico
and Arizona. In Kentucky Richard J.
Ernst, Republican, Is elected to the
senate over J, O. V. Beckham. For
the first time In history several coun
ties in Alabama went Itcpubllcan, and
several precincts In the sixth Missis
sippi district did the same alniost,un
believable thing. Harding carried St.
Petersburg, Orlando, Dnytonn and oth
er towns In Florida; nine counties In
northern Georgia and a dozen parishes'
In the sugar belt of Louisiana. The
0. 0. P. picked up it congressman In
Texas; Harry M, Wurzback defeated
Carlos Bee, brother-in-law. of Postmas
ter General Burleson.
President-elect Harding, whatever
elso he docs, is going to take a rest.
He's already off on u real vacation of
a month. Ills Immediate destination
Is Point Isabel, Tex., via San Antonio
ntul Brownsville, Point Isabel Is on
(hi) Gulf, 20 miles from Brownsville
and six miles from the Mexican line.
It has a population of 100 whites and
150 Mexicans. There golf, bathing,
(lshlng and hunting are right, at hand.
Col. V. E, Scoboy, now of Sun Antonio
mid formerly sheriff of Marlon county,
Ohio, made him promise to go, win or
lose, the night he was nominated. It.
B. Creager, a San Antonio banker, who
seconded his nomination at Chicago,
has turned over ills cottage. Of course,
the poor man will bo guarded by se
cret service operatives and pestered by
newspaper men and photographers,
but ho will have a goodly cbmpnny of
golf huddles and other inttmato friends
along. And politics and visitors will
be barred.
' Mr. Harding Is planning to go to
the Canal Zone, after a fortnight at
Point Isabel, lie hug been preaching
(bat the now American merchant mu
rine should pass free through the Pan
ama canal and ho wants llrst-hand In
formation on conditions. Return Is
set for December 0. Ho plans to re
sign his seat as senator January 10,
when Governor-elect Davis of Ohio will
be Inaugurated and Senator-elect Wil
lis will bo appointed Mr. Harding's
successor.
Alfred IS. Smith, Democratic gover
nor of New York, earned n now title
in the election "Miracle Man of Amer
ican Politics." .Why, . lie almost re
elected himself! in the fnce of n Hard
ing majority of more than a million.
The presidential vote was about this;
Harding, 1,842,222; Cox, 782,00!!. Tho
gubernatorial vote was about this:
Miller, 1,310,58(1; Smith, 1,250,311. Re
publicans and Democrats alike say the
feat Is unprecedented. "Al.".as every
body calls him, has come up from an
orphan newsboy. Now lie Is spoken
of as tho logical candidate for the
presidency In 1024.
Byproducts of tho election nro many
and Interesting. Harding shatters a
tradition that no sitting senator eon be
elevated to the White House. Coolldge,
who violates every principle of poli
tics laid down by tho practical poli
ticians, wins his seventeenth succes

SOLID SOUTH IS CRACKED
President-Elect Harding Goes oh,Va
cation Trip Amateur Cabinet'
Makers Busy Strike of Brit-.
Ish Coal Miners Is
, Called Off.
' By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Nover before In American history
has a major political party suffered
a defeat comparable to that sustulned
by the Democrats on November 2. The
result was far more than a Republican
victory It wus brought about by the
defection of many Democratic votes.
Harding and Coolldge carried every
state of the NortlyintJ West, and even
cracked the solid South, for Tennessee,
New Mexico and Oklahoma all went
Itcpubllcan. Senator Harding consc
nuently will have 404 votes In the
electoral college, to 127 for Governor
Cox. - .
I In 1012, when the Republican party
was split, Wilson received 435 elec
toral votes, but he fell far short of a
majority of the popular vote. This
year Harding has a pbpulur majority
of large proportions, and his plurality
approaches the seven million mark.
In many states the pluralities by which
the Republican ticket won were stu
pendous, and In tho southern states
where It was beaten the Republican
vote showed Inrge Increases over pre
vious elections.
Everyone professes satisfaction over
the fact that tho Republicans also
have won complete control of congress.
s ono Democratic paper puts It: "For
whatever good the next administra
tion does It will have full credit; It
cannot escape blame for whatever Is
bad." Tho Jubilation of the Repub
licans may be 'tempered by the reflec
tion thai their mujorlty of more than
130 In the house leaves tho way open
for factional disputes. Of the next
senate the Republicans will have 08
members and tho Democrats 38.
Just why the American people did
all this is open to several opinions.
Those who believed with President
Wilson that the election was a "solemn
referendum" on tho League of Nations
Issue assort that It was opposition to
tho league covenant that caused the
landslide, but really those who hold
this view are few. Others aver It was
duo to the proverbial fondues of tho
American electorate for a "change."
There can be no disputing that tho
people were determined to have a
change from tho Wilson policies and
methods. This determination, In tho
mind of tho writer, was the main
'spring of their action. As for tho
League of Nations, probably most of
them want some such mi association
for tho prevention of future wars, but
evidently they ure willing to trust Mr."
Harding and his ns-ioclutes with tho
task of formulating It, and do not feel
that the Job need bo done In n rush.
All tho nation watched with Inter
est to see what the women would do
op election day. The Democrats count
ed on them to rally to the defense of
the league covenant anil to save the
Cox ticket from defeat. Rut an
analyslH of the vote shows that they
did no such thing, Instead they only
helped to swell the Republican plu
ralities In the North nnd West, and
Ln the South comparatively few of
them went to the polls.
Among the notnble developments of
tho election was the extraordinary
run made by Governor Smith of New
.York, Democratic candidate for re
election. Although the empire state
gave Harding n plurality of about 1,
200,000, Smith was beaten by Miller
by only ribont 70.000. This was u re
markable achievement, ntul In the
minds of many politicians It marks
Smith as the logical national leader
of the Democratic party. v
Ann her thing worthy of mention
who arrived on the Mongolia to work
Los Angeles.
nnd consideration is the heavy In
crease In tho Socialist vote. The totnl
may reach two millions. It was vspe
dally heavy, ot course, in tho large
cities.- Probably many of the votes
for Debs were cast by Democrats
In addition to Messrs. Cox nnd
Roosevelt, many an eminent Democrat
was swept to defeat by the nvalantbe.
There Is widespread regret that Sen
utor Chamberlain of Oregon was not
successful, for he has been n capable,
hard-working nnd Independent member
of the upper house, and Is one of the
stnnchest Americans In public life.
Other Democratic senators who failed
of re-election include Mark Smith of
Arizona, Phelan of California, Nugent
of Idaho, Henderson of Nevada and
Johnson of South Dakota,
In tho congressional elections there
were many surprises. -One of these
was the defeat of Champ Clark In
Missouri. Oklahoma sends n woman,
Alice M, Robertson, Republican, to
Washington. In Wisconsin Victor
Rcrger, twice expelled from the bouse
becauso of bis conviction for con
spiracy against the government dur
ing tho war, was defeated by W. H,
Stnffnrd, Republican. Texns elected
one Republican .congressman, H. M,
Wunsbach having decisively defeated
Carlos Bee, brother-in-law of Postmos
ter General Burleson. Myer London,
Socialist of Sycamore, N. Y., defeuted
Representative Goldfogle. Many of
the states will send solid Republican
delegations to Washington.
On Saturday Senator Hording left
Marlon for a vacation In Texns and a
trip to Panama. He expects to return
home about December 0, und tlten inny
go to some Gulf Coast resort for the
winter. He has not given out any In
timations as to the makeup of bis
cabinet, but of course the nmutcur cub
inot builders are busy. Muny of them
bellovo either Klihu Root or Senator
Lodge will be secretary of state prob
uniy tne former. others who are
"prominently mentioned" are ex-Senu-tor
Sutherland of Utah for attorney
general, ex-Senutor Weeks of Massa1
chusetts for secretary of the treasury
or secretary of the unvy, Frank Van
derllp 'for'the treasury post, General
Wood for secretary of war, Gavemor
Lowdcii of Illinois for secretary of
commerce. Chairman Will Hays or
John T. Admits of Iowa for postmaster
general. - anil Congressman Nolan of
Cullfornlu for secretary of labor. Some
think Raymond Robins may be oflered
the lnwt mentioned place, but this Is
unlikely. ' Herbert Hoover also, has
been talked of for a cabinet appoint
ment, hut this would bo very displeas
ing to Senator Hiram Johnson. Ob
jections to making an army mun sec
retary of wur, mlded to pre-con-
ventlon Irrltntlons, may keep General
Wood out of the cabinet.
For the importunt place or secretary
to the President, four names are com
monly mentioned George Christian,
Harding's secretary while In the Fen
ate; Judson Welllver, a newspaper
correspondent, who has handled public
ity at Marlon; Fred Starek, former
representative of an Ohio newspaper
at Washington, and Richard Washburn
Child, former editor of Collier's Week
ly, who has been aiding Hnrdlng at
Marlon In the writing of his speeches.
William J. Bryun, arriving In Chi
cago on n lecturing tour, made a con
tribution to the gaiety of nations. Ho
issued a statement calling on Presi
dent Wilson to resl, 1 Immediately,
yielding the presidency to Vice Presi
dent Marshall with the understanding
that Mr. Marshall should appoint Sen
ator Harding secretary of state. Then,
Mr, Bryan said, Marshall should re
sign, which would make Hurdtng the
acting President. For some tlice thero
have been hints that President Wilson
inlght resign In the event of a Repub
lican victory. The rest of tho pro
posed program Is Mr. Bryan's 6wn
Idea.
What tho European press thinks of
the election Is Interesting. The papers
of London comment op the decisive
rejection of the Wilson policies, and
the Times regard the election as a
distinct warning to Bolshevists nnd
extremists of nil kinds. The newspa
pers, of Paris all ngree that Harding's
victory is a bad defeat for the League
of Nations as established by the Wil
son covenant, and the Echo de Purls
ii.orvrinnn ,i( mi.-,., w.n.. ...
on farms. 3 Quantities of 'confiscated
expresses hope that -"the" discussion
which will be stnrtcd on relations
between tho United Stntcs nnd tho
L'eagUe of Nations will provide occa
sion to repair some of the faults com
mitted at Versoljles."
The French editors arc unanimous
-in the belief that the result of tho
election will ln ho way prejudice the
tnuiitlopal Franco-American friend
ship, though some of them are a bit
disturbed concerning the tariff. In
Germany the press comments Joyfully
on tho "personal defeat" sustained by
President Wilson nnd finds comfort
In Harding's election as presnglng
early restoration of normal relations
between Germany nnd the .United
States; but the editors warn their
readers not to be too optimistic.
California, besides giving Harding n
fat plurality, overwhelmingly .indorsed
the nnti-nllen land law against which
the Japanese government has beetl
protesting so vigorously. Thlsnctlon

who. Is not eligible to citizenship Under

on November 2. The successful man
was Dr. Alfredo .Zayas, who defeated
Jose Miguel Gomez. ' "
There was an election, too, in Scot
land ,on the prohibition proposition.

Prince Paul bus not yet accepted
the throne of-Greece, and there Is
talk now of offering It to Prince
Charles, count of Flanders, second son
of King Albert of Belgium. Premier
Venb-.elos has said publicly thut he Is
willing that the' return of Constnntlne
to the throne be made an Issue In the
coming elections. France, It Is known,
would not permit the restoration of
Constnntine if she could prevent It.
As was foreseen, the strike of Brit
ish conl miners came to un end. The
executive of the miners declnred it
off under the terms agreed upon with
the government and ordered the men
back to work Immediately. The miners
had "declared against tho acceptance
of the terms by u majority of 8,4.19,
but this was far short of the two-
thirds majority necessary to permit
the issuance of a strike order and the
leaders ruled It was not enough there
fore, to continue the strike.
The Irish, Labor Liberals and young
torles In the British house of commons
made another attempt to force a par
liamentary Inquiry Into the reprisals
In Ireland, but were again defeated by
the government forces. There were
Indications, however, that the govern
ment was on the verge of starting ne
gotiations for an Irish settlement that
might succeed. Meanwhile murders
and reprisals arc Increasing In num
ber and ferocity. Sir Hninnr Green
wood announced that, during October
22 police und 14 soldiers were mur
dered, and 28 police nnd 30 soldiers
wounded. Sir Hamar also told tho
bouse thut nine Irish constables had
Just been arrested ln connection with
the reprlsnls, two of them being
chnrged with murder. The most seri
ous black nnd tan reprisals lately
were In Traleo and Grnnnrd, where
damages estimated at $5,000,000 were
caused hK the raiders. Ballymote,
County Sllgo, also, was almost entire
ly ruined by crown forces.
Bnron Wrangel Is having his trou
