Ohio. Nov. 3. War ns C. Harding spent bis first day a president-elect resting? from the tension of election night and renewing late returns with par ticular attention to the make-up of the 7th congress tola In Congress hatched. He expressed keen pleasure as the growing figures confirmed a Republican gain in both senate nd house, for he had told his friends that his greatest appre hension over the outcome had not teen a fear of defeat for himaelt bo much as a realization that as hief executive his nanas might l.e tied by lack 01 a worKing ma jority in the legislative Dranches.

' 1 Triumph un? 01 issues. As for his own fortunes, he said today that he never had been in doubt for a moment from the time of his nomination; j lie did voice surprise at the tremendous majorities piled up for him, how ever, declaring the result had over-reached his fondest hopes. Mr. Harding was not inclined to regard the triumph as a per sonal one. As he told many of his audiences during the cam naien his feelings was that the decision would be made on Issues rather than candidates and the league of nations and the record of Wilson administration at home were the determining factors. An avalanche of congratulatory messages was 'received by President-elect and Mrs. ; Harding to day, many prominent Democrats being numbered among those, who sent their good wishes. Governor Cox sent a, brief telegram accept ing the result, and thp senator in a sun oneier message, manicea him. When Mr. Harding looked in at his office at the end of the afternoon no wort had yet been received from President Wilson. Gossip Over Cabinet.

Both Mr. Harding and his close advisers have indicated, however, that all of these fore casts are purely speculative and that the question of choosing a cabinet is one yet to be taken up. In this under-current of spec ulation which apparently is with out sanction of authority, the names heard often as cabinet of ficials include those of Elihu Koot. Philander C. Knox. Henry Cabot Lodge. Charles E. Hughes. Herbert Hoover. MaJ. Gen. Leon ard .Wood. Governor Frank O. Lowden. fornuer Senator John W. Weeks. Harry M. Daugherty and many ethers.

His friends de clare it is partially to, avoid such annoyances during a 'period of rest that he will leave Saturday for his month's trip to Point Isa bel. Tex., and the Panama canal zone. 1 . Whether the president-elect and his party will sail for the canal zone from New Orleans or some otner port Is a question yet to be determined, a previous plan to go by way of the Louisiana city having been reconsidered because of the time required by that rout ing. It is possible that one of the regular passenger steamers running south through the gulf will be diverted to permit him to board it along the Texas coast. Secret Service Detail Arrive. Mr. Harding parted formally witn nls privileges as a private citizen today with arrival of the advance guard of the secret ser vice detail that will go with him everywhere until the end of his presidency. Joseph Murphy, as si&tant chief of the service, and formerly in charge of the White House detail, came here to make the deatiled j arrangements and spent the day in consultation with James: Sloan, another for mer White House chief, who left the service last June to accept a private post as Mr. Harding's personal bodyguard during the campaign. In the exchange of telegrams today between Senator Harding and Governor Cox, no words were wasted on either side in' reference to the fighting lines or the issues of the campaign. Candidate ; Exchange Wires. " In the spirit of America." telegraphed the governor, "I ac cept the decision of the majority, tender as the defeated candidate my congratulations and pledge as a citizen my support to the exe cutive authority in whatever emergency might arise." To which Senator Harding re plied: "As the successful candidate, I manic you for your message of congratulation and pledge of sup port. rom former President Wil liam H. Taft came this Jalegram: t congratulate von nH ih nation and the world on your trl umpn and election by ah unnre- cedented majority. I felicitate you and the country also on your caving a good working maioritv of Republicans.

"Accept our congratulations on our efficient leadership and glori ous victory. ' it said. "The re sult passes every expectation. We are sure that you will more than fulfill the confidence the Ameri can people have placed in you." Among the prominent Demo crats who sent congratulatory messages were Thomas Taggart of Indiana, former national chair- ma and Bernard M. Baruch of New York, and numerous Demo cratic' members of the senate. ROTH COMPANY BUYS CORNER Important Deal Negotiated With Vire to Big Com mercial Development farm is about four milea north west of Silverton. The buildings wer well covered by Insurance. The Statesman has been saying that a Republican victory at the polls would mean an Immediate levival of business That millions of people who had been planning and: waiting for the result would proceed un afraid; that there would be a new feeling or security; a new thrill and urge along the line of the enterprising hosts of this great land, filled with the spirit of en deavor and. action and high pur pose With the Inclination to do things, and to dare things, too. with half a chance for security and fair play and an even break. Well, here is the first record for Salem on the first day: The Roth Grocery company yesterday bought from Walter Morley the southeast corner of Court and Front streets 82 by 165 feet, containing four dwell ings and the building that houses the Salem Fence works of R. B Fleming. They paid something $20,000. and they made a splen did buy. at anything near that figure the lesa they paid the better the bargain they got. The rents now furnish a good return. 1 The railroad switch is already there. Some day. when they get good and ready, they ' will put up a wholesale-grocery building there and it will likely be a good one. Mills & Copley and Mr. Soco lofsky. real estate men, were con cerned in the deal. Theo. Roth is the manager of the Gile Mercantile company, wholesale grocers. He is one of the chief stockholders of the Roth Grocery company, and that com pany's holding company for teal estate is the Roth company. The title of the property bought passes to the latter company. Chinese Object to ' Loans 0 America f A.N FRANCISCO. Nov. 1.
