From indications of the vote so far
tabulated m Tuesday's elcctioh there j
was a veritable landslide for the Rq- !
publicans. 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

Hampshire, Nctv Jersey, New Yorlc, !
Ohio. Oregon. Pennsylvania, Khode'

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.

"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.

of corn club work in Lexington
county, an ! we are especially urging
on every member to be present at

an effort to raise some money to
award the best corn growers prizes
for their good work. We feel that

in the way of seed selection
has been helpful to the boys and nol
the boys alone ,but Lite public at

and the world.
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- *

made through the campaign."
Ooincidently with the senator's
statement, rflurry -?!. Daugherty. a
member of the Republican campaign
committee ade this stateent here:
"It is the gratest victory in American
politics, clearly foreshadowed J
and predicted. It is more than partisan
victory, as the result, was contributed
to by millions of Democrats.
The women of the nation lia,vu
quickly vindicated the conferring of

implied in this popular
verdict and will faithfully keep
its obligations.'; J>

So far as South Carolina is concerned
