Besides the Presidential election,
which engrossed the attention of the
country, governors were elected in
thirty-four states on Tuesday. Thirty
hree United States senators and an
entire house of representatives were
elected. Maine had already elected
Frederic H. Parkhurst, republican,
governor at its state election in Sep
tember. Ia most of the thirteen
states which had not elected were
tot to elect governors, other candi
dates for state office or constitutional
amendments were voted upon.
The gubernatorial elections furnish
an . interesting situation in many
states. Among these were New York,
where Alfred E. Smith, democrat, was
admittedly much stronger than the
democratic national ticket; Illinois,
where a republican factional fight fur
nished an opportunity for" the election
of "ex-Senator James Hamilton Lewis,
democrat, and Wisconsin, where an
other factional fight 'in the republican
party between the supporters of Sen
ators Lenroot and La Follette gave a
chance for Robert B. McCoy, the dem
ocratic nominee.
All of the states which elected gov
ernors also elected other state officers.
Of the other states, Alabama elected
a justice .of the supreme court, a judge
of the court of appeals and other state
officers. California elected justices of
ihe supreme court. Kentucky -elected
a judge of the court of appeals in the
fifth district. Louisiana elected a rail
road commissioner. There were jxp
etate candidates in Maryland 4r Mis
sissippi. Nevada elected justices of
the supreme court and regents of the
state university. Oklahoma elected a
corporation commissioner and judges
of various courts. Oregon elected
judges and dairy and food commis
sioner and a commissioner of public
service. Pennsylvania elected a state
treasurer and an auditor general.
Where were no State officers to be
elected in Virginia.
Control of the United States enate
depended on the result of this election.
A list of the democratic and republi
ran candidates voted upon follows:
Senator Charles S. Thomas, who is
running for re-election independently
In Colorado, and James Thompson, La
Follette candidate in Wisconsin, were
the most important of the independent
candidates.

sight.
The following statement was issued
by Mr. White:
"The abandonment of some of the
most prominent republican leaders of
the very league of nations which they
helped to construct has been success
ful. The people have succumbed to
the confusion wrought by these dis
tinguished men, and to the misrepre
sentation of those who were not and
did not understand the league of na
tions. I hope it may yet be. rescued
from the political morass and be sav
d to mankind.
"No one has occasion for bitterness
or of recrimination. What the whole
people decide the whole people must
accept. The democratic national com
mittee abides by the result cheerfully
Jf with foreboding. Senator Harding
is the people's president.
"The fate of Irish freedom has been
settled adversely. Men and women of
Irish blood have voted for the candi
date who has declared the Irish ques
tion to bp a domestic problem of Great
Britain in which we can have no of
ficial concern. With their support the
American people have returned the
Irish problem to Downing street. They .
bave endorsed, I am sad to say, a sep
arate peace with Germany."
elected President and Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts, Vive Presi
dent over the Democratic candidate Governor James M. Cox, of Ohio, and
Franklin K. Roosevelt, of New York, by a very large majority.
The campaign was waged over a period of four Months with the demo
cratic candidates touring the country presenting their cause to the American
oeoole. The republican candidates did not attempt to make a personal
canvass for votes by nation-wide speech-meking, remaining for the most part
.in the east and middle west.
The campaign was one of issues rather than men, the personality of
neither candidate stirring little enthusiasm among the voters.
- The democratic party made the entrance of this country into the League
of Nations the chief issue, from their side of the campaign, while the repub
licans presented their candidates, as not exactly against the League of
Nations, but advocating a little slower handling of the question and claim
ing for our government the prompt handling of conditions facing our people
at home.
On the face of returns showing the
growing landslide for Harding, Gover
nor Cox's own. newspaper, The Dayton
Daily News, and Chairman White, of
the democratic national committee,
soon after 11 o'clock Tuesday night
conceded the election of Senator Hard
ing. Without waiting for returns from
the west, which four years ago elected
Wilson in the face of pluralities for
Hughes throughout the east, the demo
cratic candidate and his chief man
ager conceded that the solemn refer
endum which President Wilson de
clared would decide the league of na
tions question, American voters had
preferred Senator Harding -who fav
ored "staying out" to Cox, who favor
ed "going in."
Governor Cox, who was in his news
paper office when the concession of
Senator Harding was published, said
he would issue no statement! Senator
Harding at his hoane in Marion said
he was "more given to prayer to God
"to make me capable of playing my
part."
At midnight Governor Cox wired
his congratulations to Senator Hard
ing and conceded his election.
The early indications of the success
of the republican candidate came with
the returns from the following states:
Connecticutt, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachuetts,
REPORTS FROM THE STATES.
Following are dispatches from over
the country showing results in a few
of the states:
Georgia for a republican presidential
iticket. This result was expected be
cause of the anti-Wilson and anti
league of nations feeling among the
democrats. The great drop in the
price of cotton also cut down the vote

Harding. Thomas E. Watson, bitter
anti-Wilson and anti-league democrat,
was elected-United States senator to
succeed Hoke Smith. Thomas W.
Hardwick, anti-Wilson and anti-league
democrat, was elected governor -without
opposition. Twelve democratic
congressmen will be re-elected.
Maryland

closed with the republicans more em
phatic in their claims of victory than
in a long time, while the Democrats
asserted that a late tide for Governor
Cox had set in and. that the state
fwould give its electoral vote to the
governor. The registration totals
shows a remarkable gain by the re
publicans. The democrats, who in past
years had enjoyed an affiliated major
ity of from" 35,000 to 40,000 in the
state, had cut down to a lead of 17,-000.
