Harding Defeats Cox With Greatest Popular Vote In
American History: Sutherland Defeats Grigsby In
Territorial Election: Machine Overthrown
The national and territorial elec
tions Tuesday developed into a great
republican landslide which disrupted
even the “solid South," whose pen
chant for voting solidly for democracy
has long since grown proverbial. In
the national elections Senator Harding
Tims swept into the presidency by the
greatest popular majority in the his
tory of American politics. Senator
Sutherland, the republican standard
bearer in the territory, defeated Grigs

kn delegate, by an overwhelming mn-j
With the exception of a portion of
the Sou*hem States, and a drnall scat
tering elsewhere, the republiacns were
overwhelmingly victorious everywhere
throughout the Union. States which
hove gone democratic for years and
were among the strong supporters of
Wilson in the two preceding elections
returned tremendous majorities for
Senator He/div, V S
, A greater political debacle has never
occurred in America and disclosed a
firm determination on the part of the
great moss of the people to force a
change in existing conditions by in
augurating a new dispensation of na
tional affiiirs. The republicans carried
Boston by 300,000 for the first time
since '1904. President Wilson’s own
district in New Jersey went to Senator
Harding. In report after report reach
ing Nome Tuesday evening, the vote
for Harding was double and sometimes
treble that of his democratic opponent,
Governor Cox.
In boith the national Senate and.
House of Representatives the repub
licans gained many additional seats
and the new congress 'Will be over
whelmingly republican. With prat*,
tically no exceptions, the densely pop
ulated states went to Harding. New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, In

Rhode Island, Vermont. Connecticut.
Maine. New Hampshire. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri,
Tennessee, Wyomong and Utah lined
