Democrats Carry Harnett County By Record
North, East and W es
Seem To Have Given
Harding Big Majority
SOLID SOUTH, HOWEVER, PILES UP RE
CORD BALLOT FOR CHAMPION OF WIL
SON ADMINISTRATION AND LEAGUE OF
NATIONS—BORDER STATES IN DOUBT
—TAMMANY SELLS OUT TO G. O. P.
t Although returns were far from complete at 2
o dock Wednesday morning it was evident that
Harding had swept the nation and had been elected
to succeed Woodrow Wilson as President of the
United States on March 4.
Returns indicated that the Republican nominee
had carried all of the Eastern, New England, West
ern and Middle Westem States, leaving Governor
Cox only the solid South and probably Kentucky,
Missouri, Maryland and Oklahoma. West Virgin
, ia.N+AMfend Delaware, the other border States,
appeared to have goi^e Republican. .
-an ^tatP3 ^ vote for
win, appeared to have gone for the Republican no
minee by at least three-quarters of a million votes.
The State Democratic ticket was running neck and
neck with the Republicans, however evidencing
the fact that Tammany Hall had repeated the trick
it did Bryan when he ran against Judge Taft—sold
out to the National G. O. P. at the expense of the
Democratic party for the sake of winning local of
c. __
*sv*~o
Ohio, where it was expected that Governor Cox
would come o“t ahead of his compatriot, appeared
to have gone two to one for Harding, in spite of the
strong love Ohioans have always shown for their
Governor. The Democratic nominee, however, car
ried his home county by a majority of more than
3,000, it was stated in early dispatches from Day
ton, his home town.
New Jersey, the adoppted home of President
Wilson, also repudiated the Wilson administration.
Princeton, the President’s home went Republican
by a small majority, while the whole State seemed
to have given the Republican nominees generally a
record majority.
New England, where the Wilson policies four
years ago won many votes, seemed to have turned
its back completely upon the Democrats. It appear
ed tha Harding had carried every State in that land
called ‘‘down east."
Middle West farmers, still fuming under the $2.40
wheat program of the war period, appeared to have
voted almost solidly against the party of Wilson.
Indiana, Illinois* Iowa, the Dakotas, Montana and
the others rolled up a huge vote for the Republi
cans.
Ow the Pacific Slope—through California, Ore
gon and Washington—polls did not dose until af
ter 9 o'clock, eastern time, and returns were fsu
from complete, it was evident that Harding had lit
tle hope.
Along with Harding it appeared that an over
whelming force of Republican Representatives and
Senators had been swept into the capitol. If full re
turns are as thoroughly Rep°blican as those of th<
early hours it is evident that the next Congress wil
see the Democratic party in a hopeless minority.
Democratic State chairmen throughout the na
tion attribute Democratic adversity more to a de
sire on the part of the people to repudiate the Wil
son administration than to any desire to beat Gov
emor Cox. The League of Nations played little par
in the election, it is believed. Voters were mom
concerned with a change than with any thought o
