race. Mr. Hays' informant was
Grafton. Cunning, prominent repub

Boston has not been carried by a
republican national ticket since 1896,
according to party leaders here.
President Wilson carried the city by
approximately 18,000 in the last pres
idential contest.
Ex-Senator Weeks of Massachu
setts received a message from Gov
ernor Coolidge predicting that the
republican plurality outside the city
of Boston would be not lees than
400,000.
Boston Itself. Governor Coolidge
aid, would give' the republican ticket
a lead of 30,000 to 40,000.
National Committeeman Hert of
Kentucky reported receiving word
from Pike county of that state that
the Harding majority in the county
would exceed 3000 and in the city of
Louisville no less than 10,000.
United States Senator Lodge tele
graphed Mr. Weeks predicting a
"great republican sweep" in Massa
chusetts. Two normally democratic
congressional districts were assured
to the republicans. Senator Lodge de
clared, while the democrats would
carry not more than two out of 16
congressional districts.
Later Mr. Weeks predicted that
senator Haring would carry New
York state by 750.000 and would have
a majority of 250,000 in Greater New
York City. Connecticut would give
the republican candidate a 75.0CT0 ma
jority, he said.
He also claimed Kentucky and In
diana, the latter by 100,000.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr. Hays
said:
"Precisely as has been the case In
very instance since the founding of
the republic, the American people,
when confronted with a grave deci
sion, have decided right.
"The returns seem to Indicate an
unparalleled majority. It is an ex
traordinary degree of argument on
the. part of the people as to who they
want to conduct their common af
fairs and the course they want them
to take."
at 7:30 telegraphed Will H. Hays, na
tional chairman, that Harding will
.Tarry Ohio by 300,000 plurality

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. Adolph Ger

party headquarters here tonight, de
clared that the "usual tactics of in
timidation and coercion followed by
henchmen of the old parties In evi
dence In previous elections were also
. evident in the election today."
A "new method" in strong socialist

lot ers. Germer said, resulting In so
cialists being compelled to wait from
one to two hours before belng'able to
vote.
"There is no doubt that the social
ist party lost'' thousands of votes

DAYTON, O.. Nov. 2. Other than
casting his vote early in the day.
Governor Cox, democratic presidential
candidate, apparently took only a
passive interest in the election, but
tonight he went to his newspaper of
fice to watch- returns.
The governor was smiling when he
reached the office at 7:30 P. M., ac
companied by Mrs. Cox, but made no
comment on the election. At that time
the newsboys were in the streets with
the first extra carrying news unfa
vorable to the candidate.
Outside his office a big crowd had
gathered to await the record of the
vote and it greeted the governor with
a cheer. Simultaneously a bulletin
from his office showed that the gov
ernor had carled 12 of the 265 pre
cincts in Montgomery county, includ
ing Dayton, by .300 votes.
During the day, most of- which
was spent at his home near here, the
governor seemingly paid no attention
to the early scattering returns. His
first information came when he
reached his office and then he offered
no comment.

WHY HAVE CATARRH?
So Disagreeable to Yourself and All
About You.
Catarrh Is generally conceded to
be a constitutional disease. There
fore it requires a constitutional rem
edy like Hood's Sarsaparllla, which
reaches every part of the system by
thoroughly purifying and enriching
the blood. This medicine removes the
cause of the trouble, which if not
checked may lead to more serious dis
ease. In 46 years of use and test Hood's
Sarsaparllla has relieved many cases,
as told by : voluntary letters of, com
mendation. Why not get a bottle to
day and give it a trial? It combines
economy and efficiency. Keep Hood's
Pills on hand as a family cathartic.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2. George
"White, chairman of the democratic
national committee. conceded the
election of Senator Harding at 11
o'clock tonight.
Mr. White also conceded the elec
tion of a republican congress.
Mr. White in a previous statement
had said:
"Early returns are most satisfac
tory." said Mr. White. "The demo
cratic districts heard from show nartv
-majorities as do the republican dis
tricts. ,
"It seems almost certain that Gov
ernor Smith has been re-elected.
First blood for the democrats."
Party leaders assembled at demo
cratic national - headquarters . early
tonight to receive election returns.
New York headquarters were linked
by a special telegraph wire with
headquarters In Ohio. Chicago and
through to San Francisco to receive
various reports and exchange . mes
sages between party lieutenants.
Chairman White at 8 o'clock to
night issued the following statement:
"Our direct returns from Kentucky,
Ia ho and West Virginia are that
we shall carry those states by safe
majorities. Thus the first of the re
publican pre-election claims are de
molished." The following statement was issued
by Mr. White at 8:30: . "
."In 1916 the people had a lesson In
republican tactics of claiming every
thing in an effort to influencing the
west. Therefore the same plan will
not work this year. We have every
reason to predict that Governor Cox
will be elected by the states beyond
the Allegheny mountains."
At 9:30 Mr. White said:
, "Thirty-six states with an electoral
vote numbering 336 have not yet been
heard from with any completeness.
It takes 266 to elect a president.
Neither Cox nor Harding is yet any
where near that figure and we will
make no claims or concessions until
266 are in sight. We have an equal
chance to win."
A leased telephone wire also kept
Mr. White in communication with
Governor Cox in his Dayton newspa
per plant, while another leased tele
phone wire ran to Hyde Park, N. Y.,

cratic vice-presidential nominee, had

LONDON. Nov. -2 (Knaolii f.n.
Opposition to the government's "oil
Is certain to be greatly ' accentuated
when the notes which have been In
terchanged in recent months are pub
lished, and it Is stated they will be
after the United States makes its
rejoinder in the immediate future.
The American demand for the open
door policy is expected to be strongly
reiterated.
All efforts so far to make the Brit
ish government reveal its mandatory
policy In Mesopotamia have been un
successful. . There is fear here that
the British bid for oil supremacy may
eventually lead to a serious issue with
America, with the possibility of re
prisals on the part of the United
States government. The strongest
critics of the government contendj
mat tor, the British government to
develop the oil fields herself or
through camouflage connections will
be wholly Inconsistent with the obli
gations of a mandatory state. x
