Secretary Colby Tells Cox That He
la Confident Coiintry Will
Rise to Sense of Duty.
' " "
WASHINGTON. Nov. 3. (By the
Associated Press.) President Wilson
had no comment to make today on
the result of Tuesday's election, nor
did he send any message 6f congratu
lation to President-elect Harding.
Having received only the prelimi
nary returns betore. retiring last
night, the president arose early today
and after breakfast scanned the later
figures of the republican victory in
the morning newspapers. Later he
spent some time on the south porch
(of the, White House and conferred
with Secretary Tumulty.
'Rear-Admiral Grayson, 'the presi
dent's personal physician, made a
special visit to him at noon and
stated subsequently that the presi
dent's health apparently had been
unaffected by the result of the elec
tion. He said the president had had
a restful night and that he was In
"good condition."
During the afternoon the president
and Mrs. Wilson took f' -ir dally au
tomobile ride. Mr. Wilson received
no callers arid the only visitors at
the White House executive offices
were Henry Morgenthau, ex-ambassador
to Turkey, and Norman E. Hap
good, ex-minister to Denmark.
Bainbrldera Colby, secretary of
state, was the only member of the
cabinet to make any formal comment
on the outcome of the election, but
Secretary Wilson of the' labor depart
ment sent a message to Governor Cox
In which he declared that "truth
crushed to earth shall rise again."
Mr. Colby said he was "disappoint
ed and depressed," but that he could
not but feel confident "that in some
way and by some avenue not at the
moment disclosed th's country will
act up to the highest concept of
duty." . . .
Official and diplomatic Washington,
impressed by the proportions of the
republican victory in what leaders on
both sides In the presidential ; fight
had declared to be a "solemn ref
erendum" on the league of nations,
already have begun to speculate as to
the president's probable course with
regard to th
e treaty of Versailles, I for a moment from the time of his
osed in the White HouseTnominatton.. He did voice surprise at
which has repo
since the senate refused to ratify it.
for a second time last February.
There was no one In Washington
who professed to know what decision,
if any, the president had made. Two
courses were regarded as open to
him:
To leave the whole question of
peace with Germany arid the league
to the new administration which
takes office March 4, or to re-submit
the treaty to the senate at the ses
sion beginning early in December.
Unless the treaty is . re-submitted
to the senate,' that body, at its forth
coming session could act on the ques
tion of peace with Germany only by
resolution. Such a measure was
adopted at the last session, but was
vetoed by President Wilson. Whether
the republican majority would under
take to revive that issue remains to
be decided by republican leaders.
BRITISH COAL STRIKE ENDS
Majority of Votes to Stay Out Are
Lacking; Rails to Resume.
LONDON, Nov. 3. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) At a conference of
delegates of the miners' federation
today a resolution to call off - the
coal strike and to advise the men
to resume work tomorrow, or at the
earliest possible moment, was passed.
The belief prevails that work will be
fully resumed by next Monday. . A
ballot taken on the question resulted
'in 338,045 votes -against continuing
the strike and 346, 504 In favor of the
men remaining out. Th regulations
require a two-thirda majority for
continuing 4 ." '
Only four mining districts were
against accepting., the government's
offer. ,
It is expected the railways will
resume full services next Monday.

LONDON, Nov. i. Some West Kerry
lads cropped the hair of an Irish
colleen wno was accused of keeping
company with an English recruit.
Hugh Martin, correspondent of the
Dally ; News, writes the black and
tans have retaliated by cropping the j
hair of four other girls, who were
pulled out of bed for the purpose,
beat six young men 'and burned sev
eral hay ricks and a creamery. '
Martin gives details, then: "The
house of commons will no doubt be
told by Sir Hamar Greenwood that
this latest example of police methods
is a, fabrication."

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3. In a tele
gram today to the Dally States here
the managing editor of the Marion
Star, Senator Harding's paper, said:
"Senator Harding asks our office to
utter his most grateful appreciation
of the fine vote given him in Louisi
ana, particularly as it manifests a
growing belief in the republican posi
tion.
"He asks me to say to you he; has
one ambition, which is to wipe out the
last vestige pf sectionalism in Amer
ica, In thought, politics, our economic
life and in government."

MARION, O., Nov. 3. Warren G.
Harding spent his first day as president-elect
Testing from tfle tension of
election night s.nd reviewing late re
turns with particular attention to the
make-up of the 67th congress.
He expressed keen pleasure as the
growing figures confirmed a repub
lican gain In both senate and house,
for he had told his friends that his
greatest apprehension over the out
come had not been a fear of defeat
for himself as much as a realization
that as chief executive his hands
might be tied by lack of a working
majority In the legislative branches.
His interest throughout the last
weeks of the campaign turned specif
ically to the senatorial situation and
it was known in the inside circles of
th8 party that it was to aid republican
senatorial candidates more than for
any other one cause, that he left his
front porch and. swung around the
cjrcle of states where the present
narrow senate majority was receiving
its heaviest attacks.
Doubt Never Entertained.
As for his own fortunes, he said to
day that he never had been in doubt
the -tremendous majorities piled up
for ' him. However, declaring the re
sult had overreached his fondest
hopes. ,
Mr. Harding was not inclined to
regard the triumph as a personal one.
As he told many of his audiences
during 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 determining factors.
An avalanche of congratulatory
messages was received by President
elect and Mrs. Harding today, many
prominent democrats being numbered
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 is office at the 'end of
the afternoon no word had yet been
received from President Wilson.
Now that the political complexion

Commoner Declares Leaders Lost
Election by Mistaking Names
for Real Sentiment. .
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 3. In a state
ment today, W. J. Bryan placed what
he termed the blame for democratic
defeat about equally between Presi
dent Wilson and Governor Cox. The
president, he said, "laid the founda
tion for the disaster, and the gov
ernor completed the structure."
The statement was as follows:
"The American people- want the
government to play its part in the
abolition of war, but they are Indif
ferent as to whether we are part of
a league or part of an association of
nations. There Is nothing In a name
but everything in a sentiment. The
real Issue presented . by the demo
cratic party was not whether we
should co-operate wrth other nations
Interested In peace, but whether we
should assume a moral obligation
which had no weight except as it
suspended the right of congress to
act independently when the time ar
rived for action. . The nation will do
its part hi aiding to prevent war,
but It 'will not "surrender Into the
keeping of any foreign group the
right to determine when we shall de
clare war.
- "Governor Cox, Instead of repairing
the Injury done by the president, ag
gravated the situation by the manner
in which he avoided domestic issues
arid misrepresented the position of
the republican party, on' the league
issue, which he declared to be para
mount." "The president attempted to drive
out of public life every democrat who
dared to differ from him even in
minute d'etails. while he made no ef
fort to strengthen the democrats who
made him the keeper of their con
science. "He alienate all republican sup
port and- Invited partisan opposition
by his appeal, just before the election
of 1918, for a congress that would
support his personal leadership, and
then, though knowing full well that
the- majority of the nation was
against him, he refused to deal with
the senate as a co-ordinate branch
of the government.
"Instead of recognizing that the
constitutional provision requiring a
two-thirds majority for' ratification
compelled compromise, he' insisted
upon dictating the terms upon which
ratification could be had, and then.
on the 19th of March, stubbornly re
jected ratification with reservations
even, when Senator Harding and some
35 other republicans-were willing to
accept the league as he wrote it with
the few changes upon which they in
sisted. - '
T'By 'thus preventing ratification
the president assumed responsibility
for the nation's failure to enter the
league and thrust the league Into the
campaign s a partisan issue.
"Governor Cox, Instead of repair
ing the injury done by the president,
aggravated the situation by the
manner in which he avoided domes
tic issues and misrepresented the
position of the republican party on
the . league, issue, which he declared
to be paramount. His attempt to
put the democratic party In the atti
tude of being the sole guardian of

Governor-Elect, 72, Republican,
Once Rival Campaigned With
His Brother, Democrat.
NASHVILLE. Tenn.. Nov. 3. Colo
nel Alf Taylol-, republican, whose elec
tion as governor of Tennessee- over
Governor Roberts, democrat, seemed
to be Indicated tonight on the basis
of available returns, is 72 years old.
He ran for governor more than a
third of a century ago and entered
this year's contest after 25 years-of
political retirement.
He is a brother of "Our Bob." late
governor and senator from Tennessee,
and the probability of his election re
calls the znemor&Dle contest between
the two brothers In 1886 for the gov
ernorship, Alf running as a republican
and Bob aa a democrat. .
The two Taylor brothers, in tho
1886 contest, made a spirited cam
paign, hammering each other's parties
and poking fun at each other, but
winding up each day with every evi
dence of unimpaired brotherly affec
tion. An aged woman with whom the two
vilsted during the campaign rec
ognized the consideration each gave
the other and on one occasion pre
sented the brothers with clusters of
roses, red for Alf -and white for Bob.
The campaign, thereupon and to this
day was known as the "war of the
roses," and the "knight of the white
rose" aa Bob was termed, wen at
the polls.
, During the 1886 campaign Bob Tay
lor carried with him a fiddle, made,
he told his audiences, at his home
at Happy Valley in East Tennessee,
and which he played, at each Joint
speaking date. He rarely attempted
to discuss the serious Issues of the
campaign, spending the greater part
of his time in telling jokes at the
expense of his serious-minded brother,
Alf, and playing the fiddle. Alf Tay
lor finally countered by producing
the Taylor quartet, composed of his
sons and nephews, which played old
time southern melodies, on guitar,
banjo and violin, at each speaking
date of the republican brother.
ROAD MEETING CALLED
Highway Over Cornell Road Is to
Be Considered Saturday.
A good roads meeting has been ar,
ranged Jor Cedar Millon Saturday
evening at the "Union school house.
An association was recently formed to
boost the location of a highway leav
ing Portland over the historic and
Bcenlc Cornell road, passing through
Cedar Mill, Bethany, North Plains,
Banks, Manning, Buxton, Vernonia
and on to Astoria, and this will be
taken up at the meeting. ;
This road would be of great use in
marketing products, and would ex
tend through an extremely fertile sec
tion, opening up hundreds of acres of
logged-off lands to farm settlement.
It is said by those interested. At the
meeting Saturday night it is expected
to have delegations of citizens pres
ent from the various towns interested
as well as from Portland.

WETS HELD fCO HAVE GAINED
Congressional Aridity Lessened by
Results of Election.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 3. (Spe
cial.) On the basis of returns to date,
republicans claim safe working ma
jorities in both the United States sen
ate and house of representatives.
The republican senatorial commit
tee today estimated a gain of nine
senators, one each in South Dakota,
Oklahoma, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona,
California, Oregon, Idaho and Mary
land. They believe there is yet a
chance in Kentucky. The gain would
make the lineup in the senate after
March 4 58 republicans and 38 demo
crats. Now there are 49 republicans
and 47 democrats.
Indications point to a gain of at
least 32 seats In the house. Re
publicans now have 232, a majority of
42, as compared with 190 by the demo
crats. Thirteen seats are vacant'The
gains would give the republicans ap
proximately 264 members.
The wets have gained strength in
congress as one result of the elec
tion. These are noted so far in "Vir
ginia, West Virginia and Pennsyl
vania. Gains were made here in spite
of the efforts of " the Anti-Saloon
league. It is believed gains have been
made in Massachusetts, New York and
New Jersey.
The most notable victory for the
wets was the defeat in Maryland of
Senator John Walter Smith, democrat,
by O. F. Weller, republican. The wet
and dry question was a lively Issue.
The republican senator-elect Is for a
liberalization of the ' "Volstead act.
Senator Smith was dry. His defeat Is
largely attributable to this stand.
The significance of the prohibition
issue is further shown In Maryland

ing a lead of 10,177 over Cox. The
figures give Harding 191,739, Cox
181,662.
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov, 3. Reports
from Tennessee left 1 still in doubt
tonight whether the great republican
tide had swept over the lines of the
"solid south." Both sides claimed
the victory by a narrow margin with
Governor Cox leading by more than
7000 on incomplete returns available,
and with normally republican coun
ties among those to be heard from.
For governor, Taylor (rep.) was
leading Governor Roberts (dem.) by
13,000,-and appeared to have won.
Nowhere else In the southeastern
states, however, does it appear that
the" democratic lines have " been
broken. No upsets in congressional
elections have been reported and
only the ninth North Carolina dis
trict is rated as still in doubt. In
Florida and Louisiana the republicans
made distinct inroads and some
towns and counties never before out
side the ' democratic column polled
decided majorities for Senator Hard
ing, although they did not serve to
change congressional results.
The seven precincts of St. Peters
burg, Fla., gave Harding a majority of
287 votes, the first republican ma
jority In Its history.
In Georgia also the republican vote
was above normal. Harding carried
nine counties in the north and In
Chilton county, Alabama, a 1300 re
publican majority was rolled up.
In North Carolina the democratic
majority was placed at 80,000 on na
tional and state ticket, the largest on
record, but In Lou'ilana Harding car
ried 13 precincts in New Orleans and
was believed to have carried a dozen
parishes in the sugar belt.
