LIFE TO ASSUME
EXECUTIVE GARE
Republican A. P. Leased WlreJ
MARION. Nov. 3. Warren G. Hard
ing spent his first day as president
elect resting, from the tension of elec
tion night and reviewing late returns
with particular attention tq the make
up of the Sixty-seventh congress.
II expressed Keen pleasure as the
growing figures confirmed a Repub
lican sain in both senate and house,
for ho had told his friends that his
greatest apprehension over the out
come had not been a fear of defeat foT
himself so much as a realization that
ns chief executive his hands might be
tied by lack cf a working pnrtv ma
jority in the legislative branches.
His Interest throughout the last
weeks of the campaign turned spe
cifically to the senatorial situation and
It was known in the- Inside circles of
the party that it was. to aid Repub
lican senatorial candidates more than
for any other cause that he left his
front porch and made a swing around
the circuit of states whore the present
narrow senate majority was receiving
Its heaviest attacks.
As for his own fortune, he said to
day, he never had been in doubt for a.
moment from the time of his nomina
tion, lie did voice surprise at the
tremendous majorities piled up for
him. however, declaring1 the result had
overreached his fondest hopes.
Mr. Harding was not inclined to re
gard the triumph as a personal one.
As lie told many of his audiences dur
ing the campaign his feeling was that
the decision would be made on issues,
rather than candidates and the league
of nations and the record of the Wilson
administration at home were the de
termining factors. '
Message of Congratulation.
An avaJanche of congratulatory
messages was received by the president-elect
and Mrs. Harding today,
many prominent Democrats being num
bered among those who sent their good
wishes. Governor Cox sent a brief
telegram accepting the result, and the
senator in a still briefer message
thanked him. When Mr. Harding
looked in at his office at the end of the !
afternoon no word had ret been re
ceived from President Wilson.
Now that the political complexion
rf the next administration is known
definitely, gossip about cabinet selec
tions Is reviving and enough names to
flH dozen cabinets are being men
tioned In current rumors as likely
timber for the official circle of rresi
dent Harding. Both Sir. Harding and
his close advisers have Indicated, how
ever, that all of these forecasts are
purely speculative and that the ques
tion of ohoosing a cabinet is one yet
to be taken ud.
In this undercurrent of speculation
which apparently Is without sanction
of authority, the names heard often as
cabinet officials Include those of Klihu
Root, Philander C. Knox. Henry Cabot
Iodge, Charles K. Hughos. Herbert
Hoover, Ma. Gen. Leonard Wood. Gov.
Frank O. Lowden,- former Senator
John W. Wck. Harry M. Daughert7
and many others.
Besides cabinet officials Mr. Hard
ing will have an army of other federal
appointees to select a fact which was
brought to his realization with new
rorce today as the petitions of office
seekers began to fly into his office
In full swing. His friends declare it
was to avoid such annoyances during
a penoci 01 rest mat he will leave Sat
urday lor a month s trip to Point
Isabel. Texas, and the Panama Canal
sone.
ir. jia.rcnn trted formally with
his privileges as a private citizen today
with the arrival of an advance guard
of the secret service detail that will
go with him everywhere until the end
of his presidency. Joseph Murphy,
assistant chief of The service and
formerly in charge of the white house
iictan. came here to make the le

President Wilson
Non-Commitall On
Harding Election
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. President
Wilson had no comment to make today
on the result of Tuesday's election nor
did he send any message of congratu
lations to President-elect Harding'.
Having received only the preliminary
returns before retiring last night, the
president arose early today and after
breakfast scanned the later figures of
the Republican victory. Later he spent
some time on the south portico of the
white house and conferred with Secre
tary Tumulty.
Rear Admiral Grayson, the presi
dent's personal physician, made a spe
cial visit to him at noon and stated
subsequently that the president's
health had been unaffected by the e
pult of the election. He said the presi
dent had had a restful nipht and that
he was in "good condition."
During the afternoon the president
and Mrs. Wilson took their daily auto
mobile ride. Mr. Wilson received no
callers and the only viMtors ut the
white bouse executive -offices were
Henry Moi-genthcau, former ambassa
dor to Turkey, ard Norman K. Hap
good, former minister to Denmark.
Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state,
was the only member of the cabinet to
make any formal comment upon the
outcome of the election, but Secretary
v nson or me la.oor department sent
a "message to Governor Cox, in whic'.t
he declared that "truth crushed to

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NEW YORK, Nov. 3. The crest of
tho Republican election wave, both
presidential and congressional," con
tinued rising tonight as belated returns
filtered in. Among . new. Democratic
casualties were defeats of . Champ
Clark of Missouri, former speaker and
present Democratic leader' in the
house; election of a Republican con
gressman from Texas; re-election of a
Republican senator from Missouri, and
a sudden jump of Senator, Harding
into tl lead in Oklahoma. ' Another
border state. Tennessee, liuhg by a
narrow margin, but with the Demo
crats leading.
A Republican senate majority of
about 10 as compared with but 2 at
present, and a house majority of around
100 as against 40-odd. were other fore
casts of the overwhelming majorities.
With about eight states in the doubt
ful list in presidential and senatorial
contests, the huge majorities assured
Senator Harding of at least 376 elec
toral votes, with Governor Cox certain
of 12?. and all from the "solid south,"
including Kentucky. The Republicans
today added Jdaho, Maryland and South
Dakota to their string, and on the face
of large majorities and of the remain
ing states, the Republicans were re
ported leading in Oklahoma, Arizona,
Missouri, Montana, Nevada and North
Dakota.
Lenroot in Wisconsin
Democratic margins in .New Mexico
and Tennessee were reported
Among Republican senators elected
in hard contests were Lenroot of Wis
consin, who was opposed vigorously by
senator Gal-ollette; Spencer of Mis
souri, who defeated Breckenridge
Gong, former assistant secretary of
State, and Jones of Washington, sen
ato commerce committee chairman;
Senator Phelan, California, was defeat
ed by Samuel Shortridge. Republican,
ana Senator Smith. Maryland, Demo
crat. a veteran, lost to O. Weller
Republican. .Senator Nugent, Idaho,
Democrat, was defeated by former
Governor Goodir.g.
Senator Harding at Marion ex
changed telegrams of congratulations
and planned his southern vacation.
Among his messages was a brief one of
congratulation from Governor Cox. An
other presidential candidate, Parley P.
Christensen of the Farmer-Labor
party, issued a statement declaring
that the election spelled elimination of
the Democratic party. He predicted a
rout of the Republicans by his organi
zation in 1924.
Champ Clark Defeated.
With majorities piling up in what
democratic leaders said was a "solemn
referendum"' upon the league of na
tions. President Wilson withheld any
comment. Bainbridge Colby, secretary
of state, expressed disappointment.
Senator Johnson of California, leading
"irreconcilable,"' stated that the elec
tion meant the end of the league, and
another. Senator Reed. Democrat, Mis
souri, declared that ths? fight on the
league was a "tragic mistake' and had
split the Democratic party.
Defeat of former Speaker Clark was
one of the election surprises, tie nas
served in the house continuously since
1S97 as one of the Democratic stalwarts
and rei fived a majority of votes for the
presidential nomination ut Baltimore,
when President Wilson was chosen. He
probablv will be succeeded as minority
leader bv Representative Kitchen,
Democrat. North Carolina. Represen
tative Clarke's victor was T..W. Huk-

The Republicans broke into the soua

With Republican candidates leading
m several states the Republicans were
certain of a gain of four senators, from
California. Idaho, Maryland and South
Dakota.' In the house the Republicans
have scored a net gain of more than
thirty. Among their gains were the
following: California, 3; Illinois,
Maryland, 2; Massachusetts, 2;Nev

Winners.
With the completion late last night of the tabulation of r

tne state, Arizona swung aeiiniLeiy into me ien&i.ucum&j
column of Republican states while benator warren
Harding, Republican candidate for the presidency, led
the field with a plurality of almost 7,000.
As figures from all narts of the state rolled in yester
day it could be said that the heavens had opened and were
raining Kepuoiican votes, uovernor wmpueiiis piuiai
itv. attained with the counting of the first ballots on
Tuesdav night, grew steadily. Ralph H. Cameron, Re
publican candidate for the United States senate, saw his
nlnralitv increase until it almost equalled that of Sena
tor Hardinc. irivinsr him a
it was reported last evening,
with the exception ot breeniee.
In the main, the indications of Tues
day night were borne out as precinct
wrkcra throughout the state tinisnea
tneir iojsks in greater numucia. -n. -.
McAlister led Edw. J.. rlannigan ot
Risbee consistently for the . supreme
bench, and other Democrats who had
escaped the avalanche maintained their
leads, although at times tne position
of state auditor on the Republican
ticket whipsawed with P. J. Muncn
until a final tabulation gave the latter
a lead of 325 votes in the incomplete
returns. Raymond Earhart, Demo
cratic candidate for the post of state,
treasurer. - earlv took a definite lead
over J. W. Estill, and with the final
count stood more than 2300 to the good.
Loren Vaughn leads J. C. Reed for the
corporation commission by less than
1000 vtes, while E. A. Hughes and
Frank Luke, Democrats, have secured
places on the tax commission over Ru
dolph Kuchler and Frank II. Parker,
Republicans. Carl Hayden. Democrat,
leads James R. Dunseath, Republican,
by a good 6000 votes.
Wiley Jones Defeated
As tho votes came in the surprises of
the election, which came forcibly with
the counting of the earliest returns,
did not lessen in strength or flavor.
The unprecedented swing of votes from
the dominant party, the overthrowing j
of Senator Marcus A. Smith by Cam- J
eron with apparent ease, the steady j
stream of ballots to Governor Camp- I
bell, the decisive defeat of Wiley E.
Jones for the attorney generalship,
were subjects o continued and won
dering comment. It was impossible, it
seemed, to touch tho reason for the
change and voters did not attempt to
give a cause for the defection from
the Democratic ranks as much as they
appeaed to be seeking for one.
This was particularly apparent in
the case of Wiley E. Jones, whose elec
tion had been generally conceded.
Prom the counting of the first ballots,
however, the fates were against him.
The plurality of W. J. Galbraith piled
up with the receipt of reports from the
various counties, until the defeat of
Jones changed from a probability to
a certainty.
The same happened with respect to
Tom C. Foster, liemocratic candidate
for state mine inspector. In his own
county of Cochise he led John F.
White, Republican, by a scant S5, while
yesterday's finals found him more than
1200 behind.
Elsie Toles Wins by 2C00
Elsie Toles. Republican candidate for
state superintendent of schools, ran a
consistent race against A. C. Peterson,
Democrat. From the time ot the pri
maries her election had been conceded
generally. Her plurality last night of
2000 votes was the result of a steady
growth as returns came in and her lead
was never threatened.
Summed up briefly, the results of
Tuesday's election appear as follows:
The Republicans elected a United
States senator, a governor, a secre
tary of state, an attorney general, a
superintendent of schools, and a state
mine inspector. The state auditorship
is still in ciount, with me nepuruican
candidate. Fairfield, only 325 behind
his opponent iu incomplete returns.
The corporation coinmissionership is
also doubtful. In addition, they gave
tho Republican candidate for the pres
idency a plurality ever Cox of 700i;
they swept Democratic counties Into
the Republican column, they have ap
ontly carried several county elections
entirely, and they reduced Democratic
pluralities iu others until they were
too thin to keep back the sunlight.
The Democ rats elected a judge of the
superior court, a representative to con
srrcs. a state -treasurer and two mem
bers of the tax commission, although
this office is non-partisan, as is the
superior court judges-hip, which was
contested, in a manner of speaking, by
Frank II. Lyman. Democrat, and T. .1.
Croaff, Independent. Lyman has plu
rality over Croaff of more than S000,
with county returns practically com
plete. The Vote in Arizona

Returns upon tho constitutional
amendments, the referendum measures
and the initiative petitions from all
parts of the state were so meager that
it is impossible ;to give even an idea
of the vote for or against them. It
was said last night, however, that
there is a general feeling throughout
the state that all had been lost, al- In-L
though there is nothing definite to

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
DAYTON. Ohio, Nov. 3. Governor
Cox. the defeated .presidential candi
date, looking forward to the time he
will surrender, his state office In Jan
uary, announced tonight that he was
considering a trip abroad early next
year to study conditions in Europe.
Meanwhile, he said, he planned to work
and rest, leaving for the state capitol
on Friday and starting the middle of
next week for a hunting trip in Mis
sissippi.
roaay louncj the governor appar
ently in the same mental state as when
he watched the returns last night
bringing in continuous unfavorable
news. His smile was still apparent
tonight and the mass of telegrams
seemed unanimous in declaring he had
made a "good fight."
xne governors iirst act today was
to send a congratulatory message to
Senator Harding, in which he volun
teered "as a citizen" to support the
nation's chief executive In "whatever
emergency might arise."
No formal statement was made b
the governor and his newspaper, com
menting editorially, did not attempt to
analyze the returns. It was the gov
ernors message to Senator Harding
that carried the defeated candidate's
formal concession of his defeat. Little

For the first time in the governor
political career, his home countv of
Montgomery, including this city, went
against him. Senator Harding carrv

Harding by five votes, but the county

"I have not had a chance to travel
J much," the governor said tonight, "l
began work quite young and I think
I"ll soon go- to Europe to study condi
tions there."

husky, worse than at any time during
his campaign, and he explained that
"it must be due to a letdown of the
vocal chords." The governor also said
he was considering framing a message
to the state assembly regarding his ob
servations of conditions in the state,
which, he said, require constitutional
changes.
