THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1920 9 WILSHSM KILLED COX, RESULTS SHOW Defeat of Democrats Dates Back to November, 1918. PRESIDENT HARDING'S ACE Public Resentment Xevcr Over come ly Nominee; Waste Also Counts in Defeat. BY MARK SULLIVAN. fCopvright by the New York Evening Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) NEW YORK. Nov. 2. (Special.) The very earliest returns bore out what has been the expectation for the last six weeks. Since the middle of September everybody close to the facts, who kept, himself free of the violent emotions characteristic of the close of a campaign, knew that Cox could not possibly win. - For the larger portion of that time they also knew that the republican expectations of a landslide were more or less justified. There were periods of a few days when the republican fortunes were a. little impaired by misadventure: there were periods when it seemed to detached observers that, while the republicans would surely win, they would not have that historic victory which In their Inner councils they expected. WllnonlNm Cannes Defeat. But the Des Moines speech, the race issue where it appeared locally, and the last hour return of a portion of the Irish vote to the democratic fold, all these were mere ripples made by the light breezes on the surface, and it did not set back the tremendous and cumulative force of disapproval of Wilson and the demo cratic administration which began in November, 1918, and has been steadily increasing since. It was not in the cards for Cox to win. He made some mistakes and suffered for them. He might have done a little better, but there was no possible combination of the cards he held by which he could win. Prenldent Hardline Trump. The republicans held one card, which was not only a trump, but was ace, joker and half a dozen other cards combined. That card was re sentment agrainst Wilson, a belief the the democrats have mismanaged various aspects of the government connected with the administration. The republicans could sit still, hold tight to that card and let Cox do his best. As a matter of fact, of course, the republicans did not only do this, but conducted an extremely intelligent campaign. But that card alone was enough to prevent Cox from winning. It would be futile at so learly a mo ment to attempt any generalizations. But a few things are clear. Among these the clearest is that Senator Har ding's instinctive feeling about the league of nations as about the other ibrues of the campaign show him to be completely sympathetic to the com mon feelings of the average man on these subjects. A large part of the democratic campaign and especially a large part of the arguments of friends of the league of nations have been based on the assumption thatSenator Harding chose his position on the league as a matter of intelligent art fulness and as a matter of political expediency. That is not true. There id not enough art in Senator Har ding's personality to do this. What he did was merely to take the position that was instinctive to him personally and it turned out that what he felt was the normal feeling of the average man. in his heart and in public ad dresses Senator Harding's greatest emphasis was not laid on the league or nations. It was laid on disapproval of what he e tiled the autocratic gov ernment of President Wilson. It wa a plea for a return of accustomed forms of government. That probably was the plea that went farthest to make him kin to the average man. Returns Verify Expectations. Within the first hour after the polls closed returns began to verify the expectation that it was decidedly the kind of an election in which the tail goes with the hide. When there is such a drift as this it sweeps on and on. The republicans will control the presidency, the senate and the house. During the new administration they will name four justices of the su preme court. The course of the coun try for a measurable period of its his tory will be colored by this republican victory. JAPAN MARKET FLOODED Throe Hundred Thousand Tons of tioods Congest AVarehouscs. YOKOHAMA, Japan. (Correspond ence of the Associated Press.) Con gestion of goods at the warehouses has increased so much that it has be come a serious problem. "The goods imported and bonded In the Yokohama customs aggregate something like 300,000 tons," said President Nishiyama of the Yoko hama Customs House, "and this means an increase of some 100,000,000 yens in value compared with the figures recorded for the corresponding period of the preceding year. Owing to the unfavorable conditions in economic circles, there is no knowing when these goods will be taken out of the warehouses. To make the situation etill worse about 60,000 tons of goods from abroad are now daily unloaded. . Mr. Nishiyama added that there is every sign of withdrawal of goods by American consigners. This he at tributed chiefly to the nervously cau tious attitude by American shippers in view of the reported panic in the Japanese market. 0BREG0N STUDIES ENGLISH Mexico's Presldent-Klect Prepar ing Himself for Official Duties. NOGALES, Arix., Alvaro Obregon president-elect of Mexico, is studying . English, according to his prlvte sec retary, F. Torreblanca. Most of his textbooks are American magazines which Obregon says he reads to familiarize himself with English as It is used and not as it is set down in academic form. Mr. Obregon has said that his im mediate object is not to speak the language but to understnd English when he hears it spoken. He is able, he thinks, to understand about 7C per cent of what is said to htm in English, if the speaker is distinct and unhurried. . In reading the magazines for their English, Mr. Obregon says, he finds valuable data and information re garding current events which cannot be found in book form. Secretary Torreblancha states the president- elect keeps him busy filing data gathered from magazines. VICE - Saftftf vX .'..;.--.' i ysy .

CUTLERY OUTPUT LIGHT World Jlore Than Year Behind In Supplying Orders. NEW YORK. Don't delay your holiday cutlery shopping, is the note ft warning sounded by the American uunery oureau or lniormatlon, which points out that the war has caused quite an exceptional situation in the cutlery . supplies throughout the world. During the war practically all cutlery factories in EuroDe and F OR the eleven hundredth time i Deputy District Attorney Ber nard wearily removed the re ceiver on his telephone. He had been answering a steady fire of questions on election all day. Hello, he murmured. I'm worried about my cows," was the startling announcement. 'This office ia only handling elec tion matters," Bernard told the man. "That's all right." the other ex plained. "You see the two cows are my property and 1 took them to Clack amas county two weeks ago. Can I vote in this county, even if they are gone?" "Yes," sighed Bernard, "you can, but the cows can't." - Foolish question No. 1996 was re corded by the sheriff's office yester day.

Chairman of board But the bal lots are so long we don"t know what to stick the city end in. - - - Many determined people were out at the polls yesterday. A call came from one precinct where an elderly woman had gone in an automobile. She was too much of an invalid to leave the machine, but wished to cast her ballot and fill it out 'n the car. Illness did not prevent John M. Lewis,, county treasurer, from voting. He insisted on being taken tox the polls to cast his ballot, despite the fact that he has been confined to his home over a week, owing to a severe attack of pleurisy. Just wjt possible effect the politi cal leanings of a garage could have upon the election board at work with in it puzzled a deputy district attor ney yesterday.

In con sequence European production virtu ally ceased and many countries formerly receiving their cutlery from abroad have - gone on short rations for four years. Allowing for -a shortage, of only 25 per cent every year during the war. this means that the world is over a year behind in its cutlery supply. The fact is that it is really much further behind when we consider that foreign producers of cutlery have not been able to attain anything like pre-war output. Consequently foreign buyers are beseiging Ameri can cutlery makers with requests for goods and our manufacturers find their, facilities taxed to the limit, in view of the steady domestic demand and foreign appreciation of. American quality. While the American cutlery indus try is Btill confining the large bulk of its distribution to. domestic mar kets, it is anticipated that the large holiday demand will necessitate a rationing programme which will spread supplies out thin, and higher prices may be forestalled by doing one's cutlery shopping early.

Refusal of Ir,ish railway men to carry munitions or armed men which from time to time holds up trains for which soldiers or police are tendered as " passengers has now lea to the stoppage of pas senger trains over nearly 600 miles of railway. Every time a train crew refused to carry soldiers, police or munitions they were dismissed. There are now not enough men to keep the traffic moving and the service has had to be cut down accordingly. This has led to great inconvenience and traders are everywhere entering protests.

One of Great Britain's historical swords has been presented to Mrs. Clarence Crittenden Calhoun of this city. It is the gift of Lord Garloch. only son of the Earl of Mar of Scotland. It was trans mitted through the Brialsh embassy with the following words of presnta tion: "To Julia Cornelia (Daisy) Calhoun, as one of the descendants of th enoble house of Mar on her mother's side. T, the Lord Garloch, only son of the Earl of Mar, premier hereditary peer of Scotland, present this claymore which once belonged to Prince Charlie, in view of the fact that it was for their adherence and loyalty to the cause of the Stewarts that the Earla of Mar suffered so greatly in their estates and fortunes that some of the family sugnt retuge In America. miiuencea. fc.he suggested a repub lican board across the way as being the proper location for an unbiased count. Another caller objected because man and his wife were judges in the same precinct. "It would be too bad If they disagreed on some question; it would never get settled." suggested the attorney. - Many a violent argument was had around the courthouse with out-of-town people insisting they could vote ror president no matter whether they were legal residents or- not. One man declared he wasn't interested In anything else on the ballot, but his citizenship should permit him to help elect Harding. The .chilly day complicated matters for the sheriff's office and much ef fort was spent in distributing oil stoves. In a certain precinct where wood had been purchased and a stove rented the members of the board re ported themselves "freezing." "Why don't you light the fire?" the deputy sheriff asked. "We didn't know you'd let us," was the answer. SALEM,' i Or., Nov. 2. (Special.) William H.

England and not Amer ica, is considered the chief factor with which Germany must reckon in international and European commerce. Writers in the newspapers discuss at length the problem of allaying what they say is an unabating anti German feeling among the English.

I am fully aware that I will meet with the earnest opposition of many of my comrades when I suggest an alliance with England, which has done everything to destroy us.
