The Exeter Advocate, 1920-11-11, Page 7Final Returns Give Republicans a
Hugeajority, in United States
Ohio, the Home State of both the Principal Candidatesfor
the Presidency, Returned an Almost Solid
Republican Delegation to the House
A despatch from New York says:•
A record -smashing electoral vote for
Sehatoe Harding, topping the 400
mark, and Republiean majorities of
more than a score in the Senate arid
150 in the Housewere assured from
virtually complete returns from the
elections,
With the Democratic strongholds of
Oklahoma, Missouri and Tennessee de-
finitely swept into the Republican
party's ranks by the crushing victory,
the Harding Coolidge ticket had 396
votes, exclusive of the five from Mon-
taxa, where the Republican State tick-
et was victorious and the Presidential
ticket ahead,
The Republican landslide bad given
the Republicans 58 Senate seats as
against 37 for the Democrats, with
late returns undermining the seat of
Senator Beckham, Democrat,. Ken-
tucky. His Republican opponent,
Richard J'. Ernst, forged ahead in a
nip and tuck fight for the only Senate
fight left unsettled.
Of the 34 Senate contests,, the
Republicans captured nine from the
Democrats and erteeted all 15 of their
candidates, A.m•ong the Democratic
Senators who went down to defeat
'were Senators. Chamberlain or Oregon,
former Chairman of the Military Com-
mittee; Senator Smith of Arizona, wlio
lost to former Representative Ralph
Cameron, and Senator Hendlerson of
Nevada, 'who was defeated by former.
Governor Oddie.
In the House contests, the Repub-
lican sweep gave Ohio an almost solid
Republican delegation, only one die -
teed being in doubt. In this, the home
State of Senator Harding and, Gover-
nor Cox, the Republicans gained and
the Democrats lost eight seats. In
Missouri the Republicans gained an-
other block of eight.
A despatch from Washington
says:—A crowd of probably 2,000
League of Nations supporters n eareh-
ed to the White House at 8 o'eloek
on Thursday to pay tribute to I'reee-
d!ent Wilson. The crowd was admitted
to the White House grounds through
one of the front entrances and allowed
to gather near the east terrace.
President W,'son was wheeled out
on the terrace, and sat. for ten mine
utes while the crowd sang "America,"
"Carry me back to QM Virginny," and
"The Star-Spangled Banner,"
Leaking old and worn and showing
plainly the ravages of has illness, the
President made a pathetic figure.
He lifted bis hat and his lips parted,
as if to smile, but his face seemed
tense with emotion.
Crime in Ireland —4t
on The Decrease
A despatch from Dublin
says: The outrages in Ire-
land during the last week
show a steady decline in poli-
tical crime, according to a
statement issued by the Dublin
Castle authorities, but the
campaign of guerrilla warfare
against the armed forces of the
Crown is being waged with in-
creasing intensity.
Police resignations are de-
creasing and the recruiting of
policemen from Ireland itself
is increasing.
This is _pointed to as a sign
of renewed confidence that the
Government wil overcome the
opposition forces.
Birds of paradise, famed for their
beautiful lumage, are closely related
to the crows.

day, was found this afternoon in the
sewer pipe not far from the hospital.

bowl by a patient who felt annoyed by
Reheat. Twenty men have been up-

HARDING DECLARES
LEAGUE IS DECEASED

Making his first speech as President-
elect, Warren G. Harding declared at
an election celebration of home -folks
here that the Versailles League of
Nations was "now deceased," although
the new "Administration intended to
see that the nation played its part in
a new international association found-
ed on peace and justice.
Mr. Harding also told his friends
and neighbors, who gathered around
the front porch in a cheering con-
A despatch. from Washington
says:—The first act of the Republican
Congress elected on Nov. 2 will be to
pass a resolution declaring a state of
peace to ` exist between the United
States, Germany and Austria, it is
learned from a high senatoxise source.
When President Harding has signed
the resolution, wheeeh, ac cording to one
senator, he is prepared to do, the gov-
ernment will proceed without delay to
appoint diplomatic and consular offi-
cials to the central powers, and to re-
sume all of the normal relations exist-
ing between pcpaceful governments.
Settlement of various 'claims •against.
the former belligerents, it was stated,
will be submitted to commissions.
Such a course, it was stated, will
leave the United States entirely free
from any provision of the Versailees
Treaty and the League of Nations.
Great Britain Reducing Her
National Debt
Great Britain has reduced her na-
tional debt £294,000,000 since the first
of the •current year, when the debt
was at its maximum. The greater
part of the repayment has been in
hearing this conversation between
her new Swedish maid and the cook
next door;
"How are you, Hilda?" said the cook.
"I,'m well," replied Hilda, "1 like
my yob. We get Cremated cellar,
cemetery plumbing, •elastic lights and

"What's a `hooelt,' Kilda?" the cook
asked.
"Oh, a bell rings. You put a thing
to your ear and say, `Hello l' And by
and by some one says, 'Hanoi' and
thee you say, 'Hoosit?' „
A despatch from London'
says. — A British official who
recently returned from the
Crimea stated that it was
cheaper to burn money in;
South Russia than matches
because 100,000 rubles are
equal to about $4 and a box of
matches cost 10,000 rubles.
It is cheaper to light cigarettes

notes than with matches.
