of a republican representative from
Texas; re-election of a republican
senator from Missouri and a sudden
jump of Senator Harding into the
lead in Oklahoma. Another border
state, Tennessee, hung by a narrow
margin, but with democrats leading.
A republican senate majority of
about 10, as compared with but two
at present and a house majority of
around 100 as against 40 odd, were
other forecasts of the overwhelming
majorities.
With about eight states still in the
doubtful list in presidential-senatorial
contests, the huge majorities assured
Senator Harding of at least a46 majority over Cox and that the up
electoral votes, with Governor Cox state counties will give him an addl
certain of 127 and all from the "solid tlonal 60,000.
