Senator Holes Penrose received the
largest majority ever given him in the
state, despite the fact that he was cut
some In this city and quite liberally
in the state. This was expected. Tho
cutting was done almost exclusively out
side the great cities by the women
voters.
Circumstances afforded them the rare
opportunity of voting against Penrose
and of voting for one of their own
sex for United States senator, Leah
Cobb Marion, of Emporium.
The Penrose vote in Philadelphia
was 2S0.381, or 10,232 behind Hard

Major John A. Farrell managed to
draw out the full Democratic strength

Republicans Increase Their
Membership in Both Houses

-,
y
whmmvAwk
toy the Associated Press
New York, Nov. 3. Republican n
trol of Congress for another two years,
with an increased House majority and a
prospective lucreaso in the Senate, was
a major part of the election sweep.
A net gain of twenty-five votes In the
House was shown, wjth cqmplcte returns
from, only seventeen! stntes, but with
most of the Democratic strongh61ds re
porting. Eisht of the fifteen Republican sena
torial candidates had come in winners
today and the seven others had substan
tial loads. In ten other stntes al' of
the Republican contestants were re
ported In the van. For the nineteen
Democratic Senate seats, nine of tho
minority party had been returned win
nersall from southern states while
in the border Hnd western states the
others were fighting an uphill battle.
Further Gain In Senate Expected
That the general Republican land
slide would seat scvcnil mibru Repub
lican senators was predicted confident
ly by Republican campaign managers,
whose claims included a majority cf
eight to ten in the next Senate.
Roth the Rcpub'ican presidential and
senate rial tickets were reported early
today as ahead in California, Nevada,
Missouri, Colorado, Mouth Dakota,
Idnho, Ohio and Washington.
In Ohio former Governor Frank B.
Willis, who nominated Senator Hard
ing at the Chicago convention, was re
ported iu the lead.

the Democratic side will be Repre

defeated Senntor Kirhy, in the pri
maries and was elected yesterday.
Among the Republican loaders re
elected were Senators Urnndcgrec,
Wadsworth, Dillingham, Watson and
Penrose.
Veteran House Members Re-elected
In tho House most of the veterans,
both Republicans and Democrats, were
re-eloctod, including Speaker (Jillett,
now holding the record for continuous
service and elected for his fifteenth
term. Former Speacer Cannon, who

Charles J. Pommer. Vare candidate
for City Council in the First district,
was swung to victory over James Gal
lasher, administration candidate, in
yestefdav's election by the great Hard-Ing-Coolldgc
landslide. His majority
was 7203, with one division missing.
The election was to fill the vacancy
-aused by the death ot the late Coun
cilman William E. Finley. who was the
close personal and political friend of
senator Vare.
The Pommer-Gallagher contest, the
only real fight In the whole city. In
volved purely local municipal questions,
but atptho Vare "candidate had the Re
publican nomination, he was carried
alonjt with the- genera llepubican tJMT
wave. ' .

that the Democrats, who were counted
upon to put Gallaghpr 'over the line,
were swamped and were unable to rally
the neeofwary reserves. As a conse
quence Republicans who cut their ticket
in favor of Gallagher were not backed
up by the Democrats.
The Pommer vote, while a victory,
proved liejoml question that many vot
ers in the Vares' home wards arc turn
ing awny from the contractor bosses.
This is shown bv comparing the win
ner's total vote with the total vote polled
last jcar by Finley.
2000 Less Than Finley
Finley was elected with a plurality
of 23,000 voth, receiving a totnl of
27,000. when women did not have the
franchise, Despite the feminine vofc
thi year, Pommer had about 2000 less
thnn Finley. Nearly 18,000 voters- ap
proved Gallagher's candidacy, while
Finley 's three opponents last jear only
received a total of 0000 tcs.
Pommer carried each of the five
wards in tho district, the First, Twenty-sixth,
Thirty-sixth, Thirty-ninth
nnd Forty-eighth.
The figure for the presidential ticket
and for the councllmuulc candrdates
tliowed how the big Republican vote wa
tile finest kind of nssct to the Vare can
didate, who was opposed by administra
tion leaders, represented by the Tiainer
brothel s.
The total vote for Harding and CViol
Idge In the First couiicilmanie district
was 31,310, whl'e the total vote for Cox
and Roosovc't wns only 0745.
As Pommer received a total of 25,093
votes, it is obvious, said politicians, that
he was cut by Renublicans to the ex
, tent of about 7000 votes, which is the
approximate difference between tin-Ilnrdinc-Coolidee
vote iu tho district
nud the total Pommer vote.
Seen As RIow at Trainer
This Republican vole which had to
be diverted to Gallagher running on the
South Philadelphia party ticket, ac
cording to the Cos and Roosevelt totals
could only depend on about lp.QOO Dom

When the President returned from
Paris the second time, sixteen months
ngo, he appeared robust and in the best
of health. Ills skin was clear nnd
tanned ; he was full of figure and it
wus geuerully remarked by those who
saw him that he never looked better
physically in all his public life. The
contrast today is overwhelming, accord
ing to those who have Talked with him.
His hair is snow-white, his cheeks
sunken nnd he betrays in every way un
mistakable evidence of the suffering
through which he had passed.

By the Associated Press

can landslide continued to roll along
in even greater proportions today as ,
belated election returns came in from
the West. ''
Beside electing Harding by a tre
mendous plurality, it "was assured
that the Republicans would increaso
their margin in both houses of Con
gress, nnd Tn the Senate, in particu
lar, would change their precarious
control by one to a substantial
working majority.-
Congressional returns from many
states were slow, as were, indeed,
the returns on the vote for Presi
dent. But on the basis of actual rer
turns at hand and indications from
partial returns earning in, it seemed
thai Harding would have rJtt less
than 330 votes in,c electoral col-.
