districts missing, was: Cox 707,203,
Harding 1.647,711, a plurality of 940,

That Tennessee was carried "by
Harding was indicated by unofficial
returns compiled early tlay by the
Knoxville Journal and Tribune from
65 of the 95 counties in Tennessee,
giving Harding a plurality of 18,422
over Cox.
Republicans Sweep Illinois. '
Reports from Illinois were that the
republicans had swept that state from
the metropolitan contest in Chicago,
where a clean victory was scored for
all offices, to the rural regions, giv
ing Senator Harding a lead so large
that if the ratio kept up for unreport
ed precincts his majority over Gov
ernor Cox would be more than 800,000.
Leri Small was elected governor by a
large margin over ex-Sehator Lewis.
William B. McKinley was elected
United States senator to succeed Law
rence T. Sherman.
Although Minnesota reported that
Harding apparently had carried that
state by a decisive majority, the re-
publican state ticket, especially for I
kovernor and one or two. other of- I
fices. was runnlnff a close raca with
san leagrue. Returns from 40 Minne- '
ota counties showed Harding main-J
.lining- nearly a three-to-one lead I
'over Cox. For governor. State Audi
tor Freus, republican, had a slight
lead over Henrik Shipstead. the Inde
pendent candidate indorsed by the
.Non-partisan league. In the seventh
Minnesota district fight, .Representa
tive Volstead had a slight lead over
ltcv. O. J. Kvale. independent.
Republicans Gain Louisiana.
Louisiana reports were that repub
lican gains were the heaviest record
ed in any of the contests since civil
war days. Complete returns from- 92
precincts out. of 157, in New Orleans
gave Cox 18,692, Harding 8.47. In
complete returns from 12 parishes
outside of New Orleans gave Hard
ing 176i. Cox 1502.
Just before 9 o'clock last night tne
New. York World, which supported
Cox. flashed its signal lights to an
nounce .' the election of Harding.
Landslide Is Indicated.
In New York and New England, as
In Ohio and Indiana, the Harding
majorities being -reported indicated a
landcMde in the east.
Millions of Americans, many of
them women exercising their fran
chise for the first time, cast their
ballots lor national and state tickets

Alt reports showed Jt was the usual
quiet election day with a variety of
weather.
Long ballots, a greatly increased
number of voters and 'tjifferent clos
ing for the poWs in various elates
presaged slow returns.
Kansas Reports Klrst.

comprehensive returns which showed
Harding and the republican ticket
leading there. .

Latest returns Kive majority of
655 votes for the three-mill measure
and show apparent defeat of the son'
ins measure with a negative Toie of
SS3 votes. The vote on the three
mill measure Is 1527 In favor Tilth
1154 asainst and 127S votes registered
In favor of the zoning; measure and
1430 votes recorded against its rati
fication. Mayor Baker has been re-elected on
first-choice votes. Judging rrom tne
incomplete returns of 227 precincts
out of a total of 579 precincts in the
I eitv of Portland. His lead over all
othec opponents on first choice Is 612
votes. t ; : .
City Commissioners Mann and tsar
bur have also been re-elected, witn
the former leading the ticket by more
than 1400 votes. Based on the early
returns Dr. T. L. Perkins has been
decisively defeated as has been J. B.
Ziegler. who apparently has been lost
in the shuffle. ''
Mayor Baker's election on f trst
choice votes sets a precedent on preferential-voting,
for never in the his
tory of "this plan of voting has ah
official been elected ; on the first
choice. Although It was not expected
that Mayor Baker would gain a large
number of second ' and third - choice
votes, because - of the, bid made . by
his opponents, the return shows that
he has been given a large number
of both second and third choice votes,
although naturally his opponents
have a higher number of such votes.
In counting all votes In. the mayor
alty contest. Mayor Baker has a lead
of 1489 of all first .choice votes over
Herbert Gordon, his closest opponent.
Mr. Gordon, who holds second place,
is 1570 votes behind Mayor Baker on
first choice votes, on 'the Incomplete
returns of the 227 precincts, although
he is leading over Dan Kellaher with
but 119 votes of all choice. Norman
Richards is clearly out of the run
ning, judging by the trend of the
incomplete returns. ' T
In the race for commisslonership
neither Dr. T. L. Perkins or J. B.
Ziegler has the slightest chance for
election. "Judging by the returns re
ceived from all parts of the city thus
far.
The three-mill tax has been suc
cessful, according to the indications,
although the vote on this measure is
close. The incomplete returns from
the 227 precincts give the measure a
majority of S73, with a ratio, which,
if carried out, will bring success.to
the measure.
The vote on the zoning measure is
exceedingly close the incomplete re
turns being against the measure by a
scant 152 votes.

Early Indications point to Hard
ing sweeping Multnomah county by a
tremendous majority.
The senatorial contest. in Multno
mah county is In doubt. In many
precincts Chamberlain and Stanfield
are running, neck and neck, while in
otljer. precincts the democratic nomi
nee and the republican candidate have
a slight lead.
- It is apparent that MeArthur has
won over his democratic opponent,
Lovejoy, although there' are precincts
in which J3r.. -Lovejoy 1b leading
In Multnomah county Stanfield has
gained, , a. slight lead. Tha. yot for
Hayes, who is an independent candi
date: running on . the Versailles treaty,
has a vote scarcely larger than the
socialist candidate. Democrats ex
pected Chamberlain to carry the
county by a lead sufficient to over
come the. lead of Stanfield in the out
state : counties, but out of 237 pre
lncomplete. out of 413, Stanfield
has a lead over his democratic
opponent of 36 votes. At this ratio.
Stanfield is apparently the victor in
Multnomah and the lead in this county
is simply added to the advantage he
is holding in the' other counties.
In 237 incomplete precincts. Me
Arthur is leading Lovejoy by 486.
which indicates'- his- success at the
polls.
Chamberlain is running ahead of his
ticket and is rolling up a larger vote
than Governor Cox, demooratic nomi
nee for president. Harding is also
leading his ticket and is far ahead
of MeArthur and Stanfield. The Indi
cations are that MeArthur will have
a larger vote In Multnomah than
Stanfield. the republican candidate for
United States senator. The early re
turns are decided "spotted" and
Chamberlain Is carrying precincts,
which Harding is carrying and there
is a fluctuation of precincts carried
by MeArthur and Lovejoy.
The first complete precinct on sena
tor was No. 216''. Multnomah street
and East Twenty-first street. This
gave Chamberlain 96 and Stanfield 96.
The following table shows the re

Be
Victorious Also.
CONGRESS SEATS WON

Consistent Lead in Sen

MULTNOMAH RACE IS CLOSE
Chamberlain Is Putting Up
Nip and Tuck Contest
Within County.
Warren G. Harding, republican can
didate for president, swept the state
of Oregon by a great majority, and
at 1 A. M. it was indicated, al
though not positively, that he carried
with him into office Robert N. Stan
field. candidate for United States sen
ator. It was definitely assured that
all three republican renresentatives
congress had been re-elected and
that the entire state republican tick
et had carried overwhelmingly.
The lead of Harding over Cox was
in the ratio of nearly two to one. Re
ports from 21 counties, outside of
Multnomah county, while iiicomnlcte.
were uniformly favorable by large
pluralities for the head of the re
publican ticket.
Stsnfirld Lead Maintained. r
If the proportion is maintained in
the final count. Harding will come
up to Multnomah county with a ma
jority over Cot af more than 60,000
and Stanfield will receive, outside of
Multnomah county, a majority over
George E. Chamberlain of approxi
mately 13.000. So far as the election
or Stanfield was concerned the re
turns as they came in maintained for
him a consistent lead. The total
number of votes counted, however,
was not large, and no prediction
could be made positively that he was
elected.
Indications strongly favored his
success. That was all that could bs
said.
77.10 Votes Counted.
In 26 counties outside of Multnomah
county a total of 7739 votes had been
counted and reported to The Orego
nian at 1 A. M. on United States sen
ator. In these figures Stanfield had
a majority of 873, the figures consti
tuting about one twenty-fifth of the
estimated vote cast in all up-state
counties.
On the face of incomplete returns,
Stanfield had carried Benton. Clack
amas, Clatsop, Columbia, Deschutes,
Douglas, Grant, Josephine, Klamath,
