While Louisiana apparently was safe ly Democratic, the size of the vote polled by Harding came as a distinct surprise to leaders on both sides He carried ten parishes, apparentl) was an easy winner in the Third congres sional district, and received majorities in eight New Orleans precincts, most ly in the uptown residential section.

Repub lican headquarters will not concede the election of the Democrat until all votes have been counted and every district has reported. MANY SCRATCHES. The huge number of scratched ( tickets made the returns slow and at noon many districts reported that they had not completed their count. The entire count is not expected to be re ported until lonlght. it was said. From the first bulletins which were telephoned in shortly after 7 o'cloi k last night, when straight tickets were I ountedi indications pointed to a land slide for the Republicans. But later returns from scratched ballots pened up many of the contests and the. flnai result was In doubt until late this morning. The state candidates were ncwr in danger and Ogden and Wetter countv simply aided in sweeping these i ndidate into office. A surprising vote was cast by the Farmcr-L-abor party in igd-n ;uid in I some instances candidates on that ticket polled half the number of votes , cast for candidates of the major po litical parties. None of the Farms 17 Labor candidates, however., were with in striking distance of office.

The total number of pre- ln is reporting were 320 out of 650 in the state.

Socialist head quarters today expressed satisfaction 'over tho showing the party nind,. In its effort to Hect Eugene V. Debs .president, although he Is in Atlanta Iprison for violation of the espionage act. They said reports indicated that not only had th vote been increased I for the national ticket, but that In some precincts Socialist candidates had run even with Republican and Democratic candidates while in New York they elected four Socialist mem bers of the legislature, who hud been ousted or resigned, anil had added a I woman member to that body. Otto Branetetter. national secretary, last night sent a telegram to Debs, es timating that the total vote for him j would be nearly 3.000.000 The Socialist vote was heavy in Mil waukee, giving Victor Berger a lead for congres-s. from which he has been twice expelled.

SUTHERLAND IN LINE I FOR PORTFOLIO; SMOOT I ALSO IS MENTIONED I 1 MARION. O.. Nov, 3. Although nothing authoritative has come from, I Mr. Harding or any of his close advls 'era us to the probable cabinet selec- Hons of the a-w administration, cam-' palgn gossip as it has been related by 'callers at Harding headquarters und by local leaders has Include,! repeated, mention of several prominent Repub licans. In this current of unofficial and purely speculative talk two names I heard wltn great frequency are those of Harry M Daugherty. Senator Hard-( int; s pre-copvention manager, and John W Weeks, of Massachusetts. 1 Throughout the campaign Mr. I Daugherty h.-us been more closely aa- soclated wtlh Mr. Harding than any 1 other party manager. This close con tact, together with the senator's oit- repeated praise 01 Mr. Daugherty' 'services, has led to guesses that the latter can sit in the new president s official family if ho so desires He Is a lawyer and has been mentioned mot frequentl) us .1 possible choice for at 'tomey general Wl I Ks MENTIONED. A former .senator. Mr. Weeks, also ,has been a member of the Republican .campaign executive committee. He Is ia graduate of the naval academy and a former member of the senate naval committee, a circumstance which has linked his name in the undercurrent of political speculation with tho sec retaryship of the navy. Another name mentioned frequently in connection with the attorney gener Llship Is that of former Senator George Sutherland of L'tah, who was attached to Senator Harding's head quarters here during a large part of the campaign. George W. Wicker sham, or New York, a former attor ney general) has been mentioned In speculation about both the war and I justice portfolios, and Senator James iW. Wadsworth. of the same slate, has I been talked about aa a possible secre tary of war. Kor secretary of agriculture, those who think they know are suggesting Hebry Wallace. 01 Iowa, publisher of farm periodicals. Senator Arthur Cap iper. of Kansas, and many other. Rep resentative John .1. Esch. of Wiscon sin, Is one of those suggested for sec retary of commerce and in general sp. calatlon about cabinet assignments of one sort or another have appeared I the names of Senator Albert B. Fall of Now Mexico. Senator Smoot of 1 L'tah, and enough others to work up a i dozen official families. The possibility that a woman may sit in the cabinet before the next ad ministration is over has been suggest ed by the senator's proposal for a new department of public welfare. In 1 (speech some weeks ago advocating such appointment u declared his faith in the trusting of important so cial welfare work to women. ROOl AND LODGE Among many names which appeared by the self-constituted cabinet makers in connection with the post of se re Itary of state are those of Henry Cabot L.odgc. Ellhu Root, Philander C; Knox and Charles Evans Hughes. Senator Lodge, as chairman of the foreign re lation committee, has led tbe HKlit against unreserved ratification oi ilo treaty of Versailles and Mr Harding frequently has expressed high regard for his knowledge and Judgment in International afi tin Whether political history will re peat Itself in the selection of Will H, Hays, chairman of the Republican na tional committee, as postmaster gen eral, is another question which the ! gossips have busied themselves with. 'Th name of John T KIiik. national committeeman from Connecticut, also has been connected with the. plat In .the same speculative way. POST FOR Hoo ER Herbert Hoover, the former food administrator, has been talked iu! in many quarters for many posts, but the gossip has assigned him most fre quently lo the treasury or interior de partments There also has been a the ory circulated that Senator Harding might prefer to put the reorganiza tion of the war department In the 'hands of ad army man instead of a civilian and might ask Major in-n.-ral I Leonard Wood or General John ivrsh jing to lake portfolio.

H Congressional returns from many tates were slow, as were, indeed, the returns on the vote lor president Both on the basis of actual returns at hand and Indications from partial returns 1 COming In. It seemed that Harding would have not less than SM votes in the electoral college with a probabil- vH ity of more than 3 50, while all thut could he counted in the Cox column Bere the one hundred and twenty-sc- H en votes from the solid south.

With the elect-ion 1 I went what President Wilson character- PH bed as "a solemn referendum" on the H league of nations' issue, and If It ma H be said that the electorate regarded ; their votes ay an expression on that P question, they registered a preference 1 'for Harding, who declared Tor ".staying lout" as against Cox who declared for pH j 'going in" with a landslide which cx 1 .id. il th. e xpectations of Hi' moot enthusiastic Republicans.
