. COLUMBUS, 0 Nov. 3. The repub
lican avalanche of votes that swept
over the'natlon Tuesday, continued to
pile up majorities oy the thousand in
Senator Harding's home state today
for his colleagues.
Not a republican candidate for state
office was defeated,' and returns
tonight indicated the possibility that
the entire Ohio delegation in the next
congress may be republican. In the
present congress, there are eight
democrats and 14 republicans from
Ohio.
Harding's plurality over Cox passed
the 300,000 mark late today, and was
continuing to speed upwards with
approximately 1000 precincts yet to
report. Returns from 8101 precincts
out of 7145 gave Harding 956,082 and
Cox 46,"343.
Ex-Governor Willis' plurality was
climbing toward the 300,000 mark in
his .race against W. A. Julian for the

publican candidates were successful
in virtually every contest in yester'
day's election in Wisconsin. Senator
L Lenroot was re-elected over
James Thompson, Independent, and
democratic and socialist opposition
and the whole list of 11 members of
the national house, of representatives
is republican. At feast 60 of the 100
members of the state house of rep
resentatives and at least 22 of the 33
senators are republicans.
The socialists elected three mem
bers of the legislature from Milwau
kee county, but lost the two places
in congress that early returns Indi
cated as possibilities. In conceding
his defeat, Victor Berger deelared
woman suffrage and "a desire to get
rid of the Wilson administration"
were to blame, but he added that the
woman suffrage situation would ad-

CAPITAL OF 1TI0SI
EAGER FOR RETURNS
Thousands Jam Streets Un
til Long Past Midnight.
JOB-HOLDERS CAN SMILE
Employes Under Democratic Ad
ministration Are Good-Natnred
in Face of Landslide. :
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Nov. 3- The people have
spoken. They have said that they are
through with one-man rule. ' They
are tired of poetry and are going to
have a little prose.
This unique interpretation of yes
terday's election results was given at
4 o'clock this morning to a large
crowd waiting for a street car at a
point Just one block from the Whits
House by a man of probably 70 years
who had been sufficiently interested
in the campaign to stay up all -night
lor the returns.
The old man's audience gave com
plete approval, the reason perhaps be
ing that those who felt otherwise had
gone home to bed several hours ear
llor when it appeared that New .York
and Ohio had turned themselves in
side out to produce overwhelming
majorities for Harding.
Streets Jammed Until Midnight.
No election in a half century, said
oid-timers, has appeared to mean so
much to the people of Washington as
this one. More than 60 places re
ceived returns by special wires last
night. All were crowded in addition
to streets that were jammed until
after midnight, presenting a scene
like the Inaugural period.
More than 20,000 persons crowded
Into Pennsylvania avenue In front
of the Washington Post buUding and
stood for hours in a sharp wind, which
was the fag end of a severe storm
in some other part of the country
and applauded the returns. It w as a
good-natured multitude thousands of
them being government employes a,nd
many of them owing their jobs to the
administration, which was repudiated
yesterday by the most pronounced
verdict in the history of the United
states.
Women nmaroni la Crowds.
And the women were just as nu
merous as the men and when the last
of the election crowds left the down
town district at between 3 and
o'clock this morning, satisfied that
it was all over, it was estimated that
more women than men had remained
until the wires ticked off the last re
turns of the nie-ht.
Cheers and uproarious "laughter
greeted every return, showing the
Harding majority piling- up bigger
and bigger and there was more cheer
ing when it was Indicated that Sena
tor Lenroot had crushed Bob LaFol
lette In Wisconsin and that Senator
Cummins had taken the measure of
the Plumb plan league in Iowa.
The news that flowed in constantly
undoubtedly was to the liking of
most of the thousands who remained
out to learn about it. Election day
found. Washington in a peculiar mood
A large part of the national capital
was in somewhat of a rage at a last
minute personal attack on Senator
Harding, the republican presidential
nominee, which was augmented by
two or three attempts in the final
days of the campaign to turn the tide
by means of sympathetic appeals.
Tumulty Appeals to Sympathy,
The first of the sympathy appeals
was made by Secretary Tumulty in a
speech last week at Bethesda, just
over the .line in Maryland, and an
other was carried to the country on
the day before election In one of the
private news services in the shape of
a story intimating that democratic re
verses yesterday might prove serious
to the already depleted health of the
president. These lasjt efforts had in
tensified the bitterness of Washing
ton folk so set in their demand for a'
change in the government.
A little incident illustrating the
deep feeling of this rather important,
community developed at one of the
street places where returns were be
ing thrown on the screen, an incident
illustrative especially of the deep
seated antipathy toward the presi
dent's secretary, who, in the opinion
of many, has been entirely too con
spicuous in the administration of the
government's affairs of late. '
Statement Booed by Crowd.
When Tumulty's statement was
thrown on the screen, the stereoplate
proved to be defective and only
showed the first few words of the last
paragraph, in which the president's
secretary began by quoting Mr. Wil
son as once having said: "I would
rather be defeated in a cause that
some day "will triumph than triumph
In a cause that some day will be de
feated." With onlx the first five
words showing, some loud-voiced in
dividual In the crowd shouted: "Look,
Joe Is starting to pull a dirty one!"
and the multitude Joined in hoots and
catcalls and gave more of them when
the corrected plate disclosed the full
text of the statement.
Another - Interesting Incident was
observed at one of the headquarters
illustrating a queer psychology cre
ated by the long period of tension of
four years ago when the election
hung in the balance for days await
ing a final tabulation of the Cal
ifornia returns. Three times during
the evening a prominent , democrat,
pale and nervous and still hoping that

Answer Always Ta the Same.
The answer always was that it
was a Harding landslide and the last
time he was told that Harding al
ready had clinched invthe neighbor
hood of 300 votes, manv mor- th,n
necessary to elect. Each time another
question was asked, however, breath-
-"vo inn iiae mis year

jr ro Dy a certain state on the
Pacific coast. The query which was
half protest was. "Yea but you
haven't heard anything from Cali
fornia, have you?"
Today all interest turned to the sen
atorial: contests, on whirh
showed that Harding will have a re-
puDucan senate to back up his pol
icies. This contest had an especial
interrest here when the national cap
ital awoke to find -unexpectedly that
Harding had carried Marylanc. which
surrounds this town on three sides,
and had elected a republican sena
tor, unseating John Walter Smith,
the old democratic warhorse, who for
years was chairman on the senate
