one-fourth of tho area which bal?

Four Glasgow wards voted for prohi?

of existing licenses will bo reduced
25 por cen?, due to the fact that where
the dry votes were insufficient to car?

ORLAiMDO, Fla., Nov. :?:. Two white
men wore shot to dentil, one negro!
lynched ami live other negroes burned
to death yesterday in an election riot
j at Ocoee, twelve miles south of thi:
city. The five perished when the
buildings in which they sought shelter ,
wiTc burned. Armed whites were- re?
ported closing in ?o? other negroes who
| (led to the woods, the pursuit being ac?
companied by intermittent tiring.
Moro than twenty buildings in the
negro ^pfettlement were burned. One
negro woman was among those burned
to death, it was said, but no children.
The battle was precipitated by the j
attempt of July Terry, a negro, to vote !
after he had been refused the privilege :
on the ground that he'had not paid his :
? poll tax.
After dark last night, according to
reports. Perry a.?/ain approached the
polls, accompanied by other negroes.
' White citi/ons dispersed the negroes,
who fled. The posse followed and wit- ;
nesses said the negroes opened fire.
Then the firing became general.
The attackers centered, on Perry's
house, intent on his arrest. Two of
the* white men, Leo Borgard and Elmer
McDaniels, both former soldiers, were
ki'.ied in the backyard of the house.
Perry was captured after being
' wounded and later taken by tin- lynch- j

For Cabinet
?General Mentioned for War
Portfolio and Two Ex
Senators Are in Line for
Secretary of State
Wallace for Agriculture
tviiox Also Con h i de red;
Wadswortli Discussed as
a Successor to Daniels
The personnel of President-elect
Handing's Cabinet was one of the chief
subject.--, for .-peculation yesterday,
since, unlike four years ago, there was
nothing in the belated election returns
to give any one much concern, so far as
the national result is affected.
Among the names mentioned by cos
sip for the Harding Cabinet are Elibu
Root. Wili H. Hays, Henry Cabot Lodge,
ex-Senator George Sutherland, Charles
Evans Hughes, Harry M. Daugherty,
ex-Senaior John W. Weeks, General
Leonard Wood, Genera) John J. Persh
ing, Herbert C. Hoover, John T. King,
Senator James W. Wadsworth jr.,
George W. Wickersham, Governor
Krank O, Lowdcn, rhilander C. Kjr.o\.
James Duncan, vice-president Ameri?
can Federation of Labor; Henry ('.
Wallace and Walter L. Brown.
There also is a belief tha-t Senator
Harding will appoint a woman in his
Cabinet, probably at the head of the
new department o.' public welfare,
which he has been advocating. There
has been no mention ot a.-v, woman's
.'?ame ii? this connection.
It is very generally beijeved that
Elihu Root, who has aiready '.]))ci\ two
i abinet posts, those of Statq and War.
will be offered the most desirable place
of all, that of Secretary of State, I'.'i i -
licans pointed out that his enormous
prestige abroad anil his advocacy of the
world court, fitting in as it docs with
Senator Harding's speeches during the
campaign, would make his selection
a happy one.
Ex Senator George Sutherland, of
Utah, and Senator Philander C. Knox.
of Pennsylvania, also arc mentioned for
this portfolio. Mr. Knox has been in
thn cabinets of three Presidents, Mc?
Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft, having been
Attorney Genera! and Secretary of
State. lie has been twice a Senator,
and was a member of the Foreign Rela?
tions Committee with Harding during
the long battle over the peace treaty.
Sutherland St rone Possibility
Senator Sutherland was a member of
the Foreign Relations Committee when
he was in thn Senate, and was generally
regarded as being one of the ablest men
in Congress. His ability was recog?
nized by Harding early in the cam?
paign, and he went to Marion and made
all of the trips up to the very last one
with the Harding special train. He
left to make a few speeches in Utah
just before election.
There is little doubt that Sutherland
will be in the Cabinet, but there is
more weight of opinion behind the idea
of his being made Attorney General
than Secretary of State. He is a dis?
tinguished lawyer and is now president.
of the American Bar Association.
With Root for Secretary of '--'ale
and Sutherland for Attorney General
generally agreed noon by gossip, ex
Senator John \Vi!i;:aie Weeks, of Mas?
sachusetts, is just as unanimously
picked out as Harding's probable choice
for Secretary of the Navy. Weeks is a
graduate of Annapolis; but is not em?
barrassed by being clashed as a naval
officer, the usual theory being that the
War and Navy departments should be
headed by civilians.
Weeks Interested in Navy
Weeks served In the naval militia
during the Spanish War, but he has had
a long experience in business and poli?
tics since then. As a Senator he was
nota member of the Naval Committee,
simply because it is not traditional to
allow any one state to have two men
on the same committee, and Senator
Lodge was at that time a virtually dom?
inant forct on the Naval Committee,
of which he was the ranking Republi?
can member.
Although not a member of the com
mi tee, Senator Weeks always took the

In Tamilian;.-, as well as Republican
political circles in the city yesterday,
the Governor's potentiality as Mayor?

topic- uf discussion. The phenomenal
run made by the Governor in the citj
in Tuesday's election, overriding even
well defined Tammany boundaries, has
: forced him into the logical position of
Tammany candidate for Mayor next

tician .
Mayor Hylan was completely over?
shadowed ?- a possible candidate for re?
election, and whatever Hearst opposi?
tion I'nat might he encountered if Gov?
ernor Smith was drafted in the prima?
ries was ignored in t'.'.e enthusiasm
which the local Democratic leaders
showed for the Smith boom. The <lov
ernor appeared to be even stronger in
defeat with the local organizations.
Republicans to Storm City
Republicans, however, found*consider?
able encouragement for a straight partj
try-out in the Mayoralty contest next

I raiment and manner of the caller was
[ so glowing that William J. Ward, pres

Seating himself with affectionate rc
' ????t? for his razor-edged trouser legs,
Mr. Pace drew a check from his pocket.
"Any of th ; merchants down at
Bath Beach, where I live, would have
cashed this for me, of course," lie
said, as he extended the check to Mr.
Ward, "but as ;t was drawn on this
tank and I wished to observe all the
formalities, I brought it here. It's
merely in settlement of a little elec?

dapper caller in obvious surprise. "He
told me that he was too nerYou:; as a

i Defeat of Senator Smith
in Maryland Comes a?
One of Greatest Surprises
From Harding Landslide
President Harding will have an over?
whelming Republican majority in both
| houses of Congres.-; with which to co
i opera.e. His? carnes', pier? to the
I voters, made in virtuallj every speech
' during the bust moni h of his campaign,
has been more than granted by the
nat ion.
The Senate probably will have a Re?
publican lead of eighteen, while the
lead in tin- House on the latest ligure:
r: somewhere in the neighborhood of
">??J. The majority in the House is
.actually greater than most Republican
leaders desired, since it is a tinic
, honored fact that majorities so large
lead inevitably to 'insurgency.
Champ Clark Defeated
Man;,- prominent figures on th?
Democratic ? side in the House went
down to defeat Tuesday. The most
spectacular is Champ Clark, floor lead?
er of the Democrats for the last two
years and .onor to that Speaker of the
House ?'or eight year:. Henry T.
Rainey. ranking Democratic member of
the House \\ ??i s and Means Committee,
?.-. as another casual'.;. .
For the first tune the Republicans
broke into Texas, defeating Repre?
sentative Carlos Bee, ;i relative o?
?'ostmaster General Burleson. Inci?
dentally, Bee was elected to the House
after the retirement of Repr?sentative
James !.. Slayden. a very popular "old
school" Southern gentleman. Slaydei
was denounce'! by President WilsO?
ami, regarding himself as out of synv
pathy with his part;.-, withdrew, wiier?'
upon Burleson obtained the nomina
lion of his relative, there has beet
a great deal of reeling m Texas evei
since, but it was not thought it woul?
t'o to the ..point, of electing a Republi
can to th'? House of Representatives.
Meyer London, Socialist, was electc
from the 12th District, in New Yori
: City, over Henry Goldfogle, Democrat
despite the combination of both Demo
crats and Republicans behind Gold
' fog!?. London has served severa
terms in the House, but was defeate
; by Goldfogle two years ago. Victo
' Berger having been defeated in Mil
1 waukee, London is the only Sociaiis
| el??ted tins year. There is no Sociaiis
I mi the House at present. Berger wa
elected two years ago and later in
; special election, lint each time th
House refused to -eat him because o
his utterances on the war.
The two big surprises in the Sens
'orial election were ..." defeats of Set
.-.tor John Walter Smith, of Marylam
und Senator George F.. Chamberlain, c
Oregon. Both ran way ahead of' tliei
ticket--, but the H?rtung sween was to
strong. Smith's election wa thougr
to have been clinched by the candhiac
of a negro, Ashbie Hawkins, but' th
negroes in the state gave Hawkins a
absurdly small vote, instead of the 10
