It looks at this time as if : Harding and Coolidge will receive one , of the largest electoral votes in the J history of the country. At 11 o'clock ; Tuesday night the Associated Press i announced that a sufficient number of ; votes had been tabulated to make eer- i tiiin 1175 electoral voles for the He- . publican ticket, from the following i states. Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, ; Illinois. Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massa- j ehusetts, Michigan. Xebraska. New t Y Hampshire, Nctv Jersey, New Yorlc, ! Ohio. Oregon. Pennsylvania, Khode' w. Island. Vermont, Washington, Wis- | ilonsin, Wyoming, tftiiy ^266 eloct<n*al | votes arc necessary to a choice. Re1 tufhs from the following states were ' too meager Tuesday night to place thoni definitely in either column: Arizona. California, Colorado. Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Mis-Mourri. Montana, Nevada, North DakWt ota, Utah. and West Virginia. The total electoral votes of these states a mount to 120. The Denfc/eratie. ticket carried the "Solid South" with a total of 13B vote, though two wards in the city of Atlanta and two parishes in the sugargrowing section of J.c/uisiann went Re' publican. It is also reported that two counties in Georgia also went Republican. The movning papers contain yei\> ' : tittle a)toui, thu..ct am) 1 t'Nion of the next congress, though in ail probability the party candidates for congress have j benefitted l>y the general landslide, i I larding Statement. ' Senator Harding issued the follow-i ing statement Tuesday night: "Assuming that the early returns' aro wholly dependable. I do not hesitate to' say that 1 am pleased, of eourre. I am happy to utter my gratitude. Rut I am not exultant. It is not a personal victory. It is a renewed expression of confident Americanism and a national call to the Republican party.

V.I am sure the people who have voted the Republican ticket will understand my feeling that I should make no unstudied statement of poll- * 'tics at this time beyond the expression made through the campaign." Ooincidently with the senator's statement, rflurry -?!.
