Second only in importance to th<

all^r employed by the advocates ol
I Mr. Harding: during the campaigr
I has been that he would have a
friendly Senate with which to deal
and be therefore enabled to give a
more efficient administration than
Mr. Cox, should the latter be
W elected.
I Returns indicate that the present
I slender Republican majority in the
Senate, of two. will be materially
increased?not improbably, to eight.
Two New England States were re
Igarded hopefully by the Democrats
and with some appreheitsion by the
Republicans. But New Hampshire
has re-elected Senator Moses and
Connecticut Senator Brandegee by
majorities so large as to make the
misgivings of their friends seem
ridiculous. Despite the opposition
of both to suffrage the early returns
did not indicate any very effective
reprisals on the part of the women
voters. In Vermont the election of
Senator Dillingham was conceded
from the first.
The Central Seaboard.
[ ? -fwfhc central tier of States New
York. Pennsylvania and Maryland
only elected Senators. In the firstnamed
State Senator James W.
Wads worth, jr.. has been successful
desT^te the opposition of the women
voters. The enormous plurality
rolled up for tl\e Presidential ticket
carried him through with ease. In
Maryland the popular sitting Senator.
J. Walter Smith, goes down in
the tide which engulfed his party,
O. E. Weller being the Senator-elect.
In the eleven States of the still
solid South there is no indication of
any loss to the Democratic forces !n
the Senate. Only in Kentucky was
there at any time doubt as to the
Senatorial result. There Richard C.
Krnst. Republican, was running so
closely with the present Senator. J.
W. Beckham, that it appeared
that the count from the mountain
districts would be necessary to
complete the result.
The Northern Central States.
Among the Northern Central
States, chansres in representatiorf
were looked foe in Ohio. Indiana.
Illinois and Wisconsin. This expectation
has been set at nought by the
overwhelming Republican sweet)
which has carried through the Senatorial
nominees with the I'residential
ticket.
In Ohio Frank B. Willis has run
I practically even with Senator HardI
ing. Early reports fixed the RepubI
lican majority in the State in the
I neighborhood of 150,000.
I In Indiana, despite the rumQrs of
I t-arty disaffection and the holt of
1 / the leading party organ, the IndianI
apolis News. Senator Watson has
I been overwhelmingly re-elected and
I the popular "Tom" Taggart releI
gated again to private life.
I Illinois, because of the LowdenI

I a danger spot for the Re^ublioaTi
I cause. Nevertheless, with the State

And Confident Despite

j DAYTON. Ohio. Nov. 2.?Although
'early returns were against him,
! Gov. James M. Cox's smile of oonjfldenee
was still apparent late this
evening. He declined to make any
i statement on the early returns.
Tho Governor said that he exj
pected to he at the wires most of
; the time until the result is finally
, determined.
After voting: this morning: Cox
I spent the day at his home. Trail's
J End. instead of going to his farm
1 near Jacksonburg, as he had
! planned.
Dayton was excited tonight. DeJ
spite the cold, hundreds gathered
i around newspaper offices to receive,
returns. ' (
Upon his arrival at his office a
! flood of moving picture lights was
[directed at him while cameras
I clicked.
| Smiling, he shook hands with all
around him. Mrs. Cox accompanied
| him. As soon as he arrived he
talked over long distance phone
| with George White in New York.
G.O P SURE OF KANSAS
BY GOOD MAJORITY
TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 2.?Incom- j
plete returns from the larger cities !
of Kansas this afternoon indicated
that Harding probably would carry
the Estate by a substantial majority,
and that Gov. Allen probably will be
re-elected unless the votes in the J
rural districts, where Republicans J
expected substantial majorities, |
failed them.

A %great part of the throngs

I The Herald and other newspapers
I remained strictly neutral early in
i the evening. When Harding-Coolidge
pluralities commenced to attain
landslide proportions, however, they
I "rut loose" with the professional
i rooters and the chorused shouts.
I yells of "We Want Warren!" and
| throaty tones of cow bells resound'
ed at shorter and shorter Intervals.
When Cox ill was putting up a
battle in the West, a big sightsee,
ing ear. laden with the manly and
.the fair, rounded north into Thirteenth
street from E street, the oc{cupants
howling "Yes, Jimmy!" Half
i way up the hill, however, the bus
! was forced to turn around, while
tinkind Harding adherents on the
I pavement taunted: "Cox can't make
! the grade."
I Capt. Rayner's Motor Corps
squads, stationed at police headquarters
and the precinct stations,
learned why cops play cribbage.
There was little call for their services,
on account of the good order,
prevailing, and they had much time
Ito kill, twiddling thumbs and
[swapping yarns. Their work in
helping align the early throngs
enme^ to get returns was a great!
aid to the mounted and foot police. \
"The Wagon" was called out several
times from the First precinct
and everywhere it went was accorded,
temporarily, a deal more interest
than the bulletin boards.
"Ijoad 'em up" was the cry whenrver
the automobile patrol stopped
for a "fare." The "free rides" were
few and far between at that.
Three public turnouts in one
week, the double-barreled Halloween
celebration and the election
gathering have left the streets and
pavements littered to an extent that
will afford the street cleaning department
a fine day's job.
Everybody was on vacation but
the local politicians and the newspapermen.
The latter are used to
working while others are playing,
and among the former the Republicans
labored 'tet their headquarters
with a grin and the Democrats
with the spirit of never-say-die.

Dr. Cary Grayson Reports
President's Condition as
Bright and Cheerful.
President Wilton received the
election returns^in his study until
9 o'clock, when he went to bed. At
that time he was bright and cheerful,
according to Admiral Grayson,
his physician, who remained at the
White House throughout the evening.
After 9 o'clock bulletins were
sent to the President's bedroom,
where they were read to him by
Mrs. Wilson. f
At 9:45 o'clock Secretary Tumulty ,
said he did not think any statement
would be made public at the
White House last night.
k taklact With WI1>m.
Early returns, which indicated a
Harding sweep at 2-to-l through
Kansas and a 4-to-l victory in Mas
sachusetts. did not disturb the
White House, where members of
the Cabinet gathered about President
Wilson, in the afternoon. This
was confirmed Republican territory,
it was stated. Furthermore, it was
recalled by officials that while early
returns in 1916 likewise ' indicated
a Republican victory, the next morning
had a different .taje to tell.
Cabinet members, who reached the
Whfte House at 4;30 for the regular
Cabinet meeting, found the Presi-:
dent in a most cheerful mood. >
Throughout the session, which was'
devoted chleily to routine matters,
the s same "wait-until-morning"
Democratic optimism was main-!
tained.
No ( nmweiit on Report*,
f Even before any of the Cabinet |
officers arrived two or three reports
from Kansas and Massachusetts had I
been delivered by news agencies. '
These, it was stated at the Execu- I
live offices, were received in the
White House without comment.
Secretary Baker was the first
member of the Cabinet to sec the
President. He was fresh from a
game of tennis and said he had not
heard anything at all about the
election returns.
When Raker came out any results
of the "solemn referendum" he
might have heard did not appear to
bother him. "Nothing definite has
been reported," he said, and added
casually, "the President is in as
good physical condition as usual."
David Telia of Confidence.
"The President was still cdhfldeot
that the cause has not suffered at
the hands of the voters in today's I
election." said Norman H. Davis, I
Undersecretary of State, as he !
walked through the downpouring |
rain from the White House grounds j
at 5:15 o'clock. He had represented J
Secretary of State Colby at the ses- J
sion.
"The President wa?s in the best of i
spirits." was the only comment Secretary
Tumulty was willing to
make.
While the President rtaade preparations
to receive the night returns
Mrs. Wilson entertained a party
at the Boston Symphony Orchestra j
concert. Her guests were Baroness ;
