t age Two LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, FRIDAY, NOV. 12, 1920 LENOIR, N. C. socialists claim ACCEPTS DEFEAT U HI LION ES Chicago, Nov. 3. Socialist party .nationalist headquarters here this anorning claimed more than two mil Son votes in the country, more than three times its vote in 1916. The socialists also claimed the election of Victor Berger to congress from Wis consin and the election of eight as semblymen and one state senator in New York city. Hope was held to the election to ncrrpa nf Mever London in New York. New York. Nov. 5. The Repub- Ml SMILE cox D oils ci KENTUCKY EASILY lican landslide continued to roll al one in p-reater nroDortions today as o c 1 additional election returns came in from the west. Resides electing Harding, it was evident the Republicans would in crease their vicarious control in the senate from one to a workine ma jority. Congressional returns from many states were slow, as were indeed the returns for president. But on the basis of partial returns, it would eem that Harding would have not less than 330 votes in the electoral college, while all that could be count ed on the Cox column were the 127 in the solid south. In many aspects the election was very unusual. It may develop what may turn out to be the greatest Re publican victory in party history. Both the Democratic candidate andl his party chief conceded the election' early. I With the election went what IV si-! dent Wilson characterized as a "sol emn referendum" on the leaeue of nations issue and if it may he said that the electorate regarded their votes as an expression on that quest Ion, they registered for a preference for Harding, who declared for "stay ing out" as against Cox who declared for "going in" with a landslide which exceeded the expectations of the most enthusiastic Republicans. Everywhere the shift towards the Republicans was heavy. Many ntates which went to the Democrats when Wilson defeated Hughes in 191 G returned to the Republican column; Boston going Republican for the sec ond time in its history; New York giving Harding an unheard of plu rality and ratios of two to one in many states give indications of the proportions of the Republican slide which apparently left the Democratic candidate nothing but the apparently solid south. Dayton, Nov. 3. Governor Cox, the defeated Democratic presidential can didate, today wired his respects to Senator Harding pledging support to the executive in "whatever emergency might arise." From early last night the governor had no illusions about the final re sult, but he refused to make any state ment, his newspaper announcement, 'Republican Landslide; Harding Wins," being purely impersonal. The governor proved a good lostr and the last- hour at his office was spent in comforting disconsolate call ers. He never lost his smile, nor did Mrs. Cox, who spent the evening with him. To all friends who brought condol ence, he said with a smile: "I am proud of your interest." Apparently he made good his cam paign assertion that for him the re sult was impersonal. Louisville, Nov. 3. Kentucky gave Governor Cox a substantial majority. reelected United States Senator Beckham, Democrat, and on the face of returns shows seven Democrats and three Republican congressmen. In the seventh Swope, Republican, apparently was losing to his Demo crat opponent, Judge Gilbert. Last unofficial figures from, more than three-fourths of the precincts in the state gave Cor a lead of 37,- 000.Z "PHANTOM SEVTlSG MACHINE" AGITATES THE PORTUGESE 01 MAJORITY mm Lisbon. Portugal, Oct 11. Portu gal, always a hotbed of superstition, now is agitated by what is described as "a phantom sewing machine." Columns of the daily newspapers are filled with letters reporting cases in which a mysterious sound resembling that produced by a sewing machine has been heard. Oother communica tions are from scientists, philoso phers and spiritualists attempting; to explain its origin. The Lisbon newspapers say the strange sound was first heard about three months ago in a house in Opor to at midnight and the newspapers add that hundreds of people have heard the same sound since but at different places. It is reported that one family abandoned their house at a fashion able bathing resort because thev had heard the sound for six successive nights. At Sinfaes a young girl is seriously ill from fright and her par ents declare they heard the sound for several hours each night appar ently coming from the bed railings. The popular explanation is th."t the soul of a seamstress has been doom ed to haunt the world to expiate a. sin and. all through the provinces the peasants are praying for her re pose. , Fuller kept McDonald at Quarter., where he did well against Maryland and put Lowe at half back.

There the scouts will have an outdoor home in a picturesque bit of country and although they will hike and wan der and practice their manly character-forming craft in all parts of the district and environs, they will have as headquarters a part of the country, embracing field, forest, rocky glen, and boys who are scouts are particu larly fortunate.
