Regular Landslide For
Republican National Ticket All Over The Country. New
York, Nov. 3 - The Republican landslide continued to roll along
in even
greater proportions today as belated election returns come in
from the West.
Besides electing Harding it was assured that Republicans would
increase their
margin in both Houses of Congress, and in the Senate in
particular 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 President. But on the basis of actual
returns at hand and
indications form partial returns coming in, it seemed that
Harding would have
not less than 330 votes in the electoral college, with a
probability of more
than 350, while all that could be counted in the Cox column were
the 127
votes from the solid South. New York, Nov. 3 - One of
the most sweeping
Republican victories in party history today stood recorded for
Senator Warren
G. Harding for President and a Republican Congress.
Tremendous and
unparalleled Republican pluralities, beginning with the first
count of
ballots in Tuesday's election, continued mounting. Defeat
in their fight
both for the Presidency and Congress was conceded early by
Democratic
national leaders on the basis of the crushing Republican vote and
despite the
absence, even early today, of final and official figures.
With the
Presidency and Congress went loss to the Democrats of Governors,
State
Legislatures and other State and local candidates. The
break even threatened
to extend into the border states hitherto "Solid
South," with Republican
gains in some Southern States larger than any since the Civil
War. In the
absence of final figures, the swelling tide of huge pluralities,
early today
gave him assurance of 330 votes in the electoral college, as
against 127 for
Governor Cox, with 75 doubtful, inclusive of States where the
Republican tide
was running strong. The unofficial results presaged a
larger majority in the
electoral college for Senator Harding and his running mate,
Governor Coolidge
of Massachusetts, than any since 1888, except alone the vote of
435 for
President Wilson in 1912, during the Republican 'Split."
"In The Spirit of America, I Accept Decision" -
Cox. Dayton, O., Nov. 3 -
Governor Cox, the defeated Presidential candidate, today wired
his
congratulations to Senator Harding, the President-elect, pledging
support "as
a citizen to the executive authority in whatever emergency might
arise." His
message, the first act of the defeated candidate today,
read: "In the spirit
of America, I accept the decision of the majority, tender as the
defeated
candidate my congratulations and pledge as a citizen my support
to the
executive authority in whatever emergency might arise."
Old Kentucky Gives Democratic Majority and Returns Beckham To
Senate.
Kentucky, which went 40,000 Republican last year, was re-captured
in a
decisive manner by the Democrats in Tuesday's election.
Governor Cox carried
the State over Senator Harding, President-Elect, by something
over 15,000.
Senator J.C.W. Beckham was re-elected to the United States Senate
by a
decisive majority, which will not fall under 10,000.
Despite the
confirmation of these assertions by Associated Press and
Democratic
Headquarters returns, the Republicans are declining to concede
the State. In
this they are actuated by the belief that a mountain majority far
in excess
of what they had hoped to expect may make the Senatorial race
doubtful.
Returns from remote Republican sections the Democrats claim, are
being
delayed so that they can be padded if there appears any chance to
take the
State. Reports of election irregularities are coming into
headquarters, and
Federal agents have been put on the job at once by the United
States District
Attorney at Covington, Thomas D. Slattery. With most of the
Democratic
counties reported, Governor Cox's lead is the State is over
24,000. The
Senatorial race, with more counties out, gives Senator Beckham a
lead of
28,000. Both leads will be cut down as the additional
counties report their
race. At the Democratic State Headquarters this morning
returns had been
tabulated from all of the counties in the State except six in the
Tenth and
seven in the Eleventh. If the Republicans carry these
missing counties by
double the Hughes majorities in 1916, they will fall between
10,000 and
12,000 shy of catching Senator Beckham and about 20,000 below
Governor Cox's
total. The fact that Kentucky Democrats had accomplished an
overturn of
60,000 votes in this campaign was regarded as a remarkable
accomplishment in
the face of the general Republican ground swell over the
country. Kentucky's
place in the electoral college was recognized by the following
telegram sent
to Chairman J.L. Grayot by George White, Democrats National
Chairman:
"Congratulations from a loser to a winner."
Senator Harding Carries Pulaski County By 3,600 Majority.
Normal Vote Out.
Senator Warren G. Harding carried Pulaski County by 3,628
majority over
Governor Cox. This is about the normal Republican majority
doubled by the
vote of the women. Senator Harding received 7,371 votes and
Governor Cox
received 3,743. The Democrats voted at about their usual
strength. IT would
seem from reports that more of the Republican women voted than
the Democratic
women. Ernst and Beckham ran slightly behind the head of
the ticket. The
Democrats carried the City of Somerset by four votes, which is
very
gratifying to the party. The Republicans showed a majority
of about 300 on
registration. This shows that many Republicans in Somerset
voted the
Democratic ticket. Ferguson also gave a nice Democratic
majority as did
Bourbon, Good Hope, Bent, Simpson and Bronston. The
Democrats are to be
congratulated for their splendid work in these precincts.
In Somerset the
excellent work done by local Democrats told in the result.
There were a
dozen or more workers busy all day and nearly every voter went to
the polls.
>From headquarters a vigorous campaign was carried on
throughout the entire
county. Secretary Cliff Day, Chairman Ferrell, Treasurer
J.L. Waddle and
others spent a great deal of their time direction the work.
The boys at the
shops worked hard and the large Democratic vote cast by the
railroad
employees showed their activity. The women of the county
also deserve credit
for the excellent work they did. Mrs. Woodson May was
Chairman of the
Women's Division. In another part of the paper the
Journal gives the vote
in the county by precincts.
Tennessee Vote Great Surprise. A real surprise in the
Presidential election
in the South has been furnished in Tennessee and Louisiana.
Returns from
sixty-one of the ninety-five counties in Tennessee and newspaper
estimates
for the remainder of the counties give Harding a lead of 268
votes, and
Republican State leaders expressed hope of breaking the
"Solid South" for the
first time since reconstruction days. Democratic leaders,
however, said they
were confident that later returns would give Tennessee's
electoral vote to
Governor Cox and keep the South in the Democratic column.
Election of a
Republican Governor in Tennessee appears probable, returns at
noon showing
Alf Taylor, Republican nominee, leading Governor Roberts,
Democrat, by
approximately 15,000.
Election Returns. The Journal office was headquarters
Tuesday night for the
people of Somerset to get the election returns. Fully 1,000
gathered in
front of the building to hear the news. Bulletins were
received every few
minutes giving news from all sections of the country. Many
citizens, both
Democrats and Republicans, have expressed their appreciation to
us for this
service.
New School Board Is Elected. Only Two of Old Members Come
Out Victorious
Tuesday. There was more interest in the school board
election Tuesday than
in the presidential election. The fight developed an
unusual interest and a
warm contest was waged. Only two members of the old board
came out
victorious, T.E. Jasper and A.E. Barnes. The new members
are James Denton,
W.A. Moore, Mrs. Woodson McGee may, and Mrs. Lottie Propst.
The old board
made a most creditable race in the precincts "up town,"
carrying every ward.
They met their waterloo in No. 7 at the depot and at Saline, an
outlying
precinct. For the first time politics was injected into the
race which fact
was deeply regretted by all friends of the city schools.
The new ticket had
a splendid organization and workers in every precinct. They
made their fight
on the tax issue. The new board is composed of splendid
citizens and we
believe they will make good. If they will continue the
progressive policy o
the old board they will give general satisfaction. The
schools of Somerset
are its biggest asset and nothing should be done that will
cripple and retard
their growth. Let everybody get behind the new members and
co-operate with
them. The vote of each candidate is given in a table
printed in this issue
of the Journal.
Higgins - Craig. Mr. George Higgins and Miss Blanche Craig,
both of
Somerset, eloped to Chattanooga, Tenn., Wednesday morning and
were married
Wednesday afternoon. They left immediately following the
ceremony for Cuba
where they will spend their honeymoon. Mrs. Higgins is the
daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J.B. Craig and is one of Somerset's most beautiful and
popular young
girls. She is quite a favorite among the younger set of the
city. Mr.
Higgins is the son of W.E. Higgins, Train Master of the Southern
Railway, and
holds a position with the railroad company at this place.
Caldwell - Sallee. The Stanford Interior Journal had the
following article
that will be read with interest by Somerset people: Mr.
Frederick Burns
Caldwell and Miss Lelia Cook Sallee were married Tuesday
afternoon at 2:30 by
Rev. P.L. Bruce at the parsonage in East Main St. The groom
is the son of
W.T. Caldwell, superintendent of the Southern Railway, and is a
Centre
College man. He and his family lived in Danville for a
number of years. Mr.
Caldwell is a prosperous business man, being a member of the
Tennessee Fuel
Exchange, coal brokers. His bride is the youngest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs.
J.W. Sallee, of Harrodsburg, and is a charming young woman - as
pretty as she
is popular. She is a sister of Mrs. Robert Benton Woods of
this city. Mr.
Caldwell and Mrs. Caldwell first got acquainted in England, when
they were
both members of the Barrow unit, hence the courtship is tinged
with some
little romance. After a short trip to New Orleans they will
be at home at
Oakdale, Tenn., where Mr. Caldwell's business is located.
Wedding Anniversary. On last Saturday, October 30th, Mr.
and Mrs. Dave
Higgins celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary at their home

Clyde Shuttles, Well Known in Somerset, Gets Five Years in the
Penitentiary.
The Danville Messenger had the following that will be read
with interest by
Somerset people: Clyde Shuttles, well known young man of
this city, was
sentenced to serve five years in the State penitentiary today by
a jury in
the special term of the Boyle Circuit Court. The
trial lasted for several
days and much testimony as heard on both sides. The
defendant was charged
with receiving stolen property and the case arose out of the big
wholesale
robbing of freight cars in Danville. Shuttles claimed that
he purchased the
stolen cigarettes from Will Gregory, of Lexington, but could not
located him
now. According to the defendant, he paid Gregory $1,2000 on
two occasions
for cigarettes and at one time he paid $750 to the same
party. The
Commonwealth's testimony showed that the cigarettes were those
taken fro the
cars, it is said. The jury was out only five minutes and
brought in a
verdict of guilty and placed the punishment at five years n the
penitentiary.
It is said that the jury unanimously agreed on the
verdict. The defendant,
who has been out on bond, was taken to jail. This makes the
fifth conviction
in connection with the railroad robberies. Howard Gordon
was sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary; Morris Pritchett, two years;
H.C. Ellison,
one year, and Owen Gooch, two years. The special term
of court adjourned
this afternoon after dismissing the jurymen. Another called
term of the
Circuit Court will be convened December 13, for the purpose of
hearing the
Cecil Will case again. Other railroad robbing cases will
come up at the next
regular term of court in January.
Shot In Back. Ed Adams, a brother of Jas. Adams, of the
Journal force, was
shot in the back by Walter Holt as he was driving through Norwood
last Sunday
afternoon. Adams was in a car with three other men and as
they drove around
a crowd of boys and men, who had congregated in the road, a shot
was fired
which went through the back of the car and entered young Adams in
the back.
His companions hurried to the hospital with him where it was
found the bullet
had penetrated his back just to the left of the right shoulder
blade. The
bullet was removed. Officers went to Norwood and arrested
Mr. Holt, who
confessed the shooting. He was placed in jail to await the
action of the
grand jury now in session.
Stabbed With Knife. Stella Cato, a colored woman living at
Tateville, Ky.,
stabbed a fifteen year old girl by the name of Ross, also of
color, with a
knife Sunday afternoon. The Ross girl died within a short
time. The knife
penetrated the heart. The cutting followed a quarrel
between the parties.
The Cato woman came to Somerset and gave herself up to the
authorities and
was placed in jail.
To Ohio. Rev. W.E. Hunter will leave tomorrow for Sandusky, Ohio,
where he
will assist in an eight day protracted meeting. Before
returning home he
will attend the State General Association of Baptists at
Owensboro, Ky.
M.B. Adams, President of Georgetown College, will fill the pulpit
at the
First Baptist Church Sunday morning and evening, and E.R. Stewart
the
following Sunday.
Circuit Court. Court adjourned last Monday until Wednesday
in order that the
juries and witnesses might go home and vote. The grand jury
resumed work on
Wednesday morning. There has not been a great deal
accomplished in court
this week. Chas. Mize, charged with killing Lettie Kirby,
was fined $100 and
given 150 days in jail. Mize was riding along the road and
fired his pistol
into a house not knowing anyone was in it and killed the young
girl. The
case against Scott and John Hansford for killing two McKinneys
last year was
called Thursday morning. The jury was summoned from the
western part of the
county and yesterday was taken up in selecting twelve men to try
the case.
The grand jury, it is said, is doing fine work and will return
quite a number
of indictments for liquor selling. They are making a
special investigation
of the illegal sale of liquor in Somerset and Pulaski County.
The Flat Lick School Fair was well attended despite the fact that
a big sale
was going on in the same neighborhood. Prof. Hill, Supt.
City Schools, Mr.
W.R. Buckler, State Leader of Junior Clubs, and Leonard E. Meece,
were the
principal speakers who entertained the crowd while the judges
were awarding
the prizes. A bountiful basket dinner was served at noon by
the good women
of the neighborhood which added wonderfully to the success of the
day. The
following is list of winners in the grand champion rings:
Corn - Theodore
Stewart of Grundy School; Potatoes - Lowell Eaton of Flat Lick;
Sweet
Potatoes - Laura Daniel of Flat Lick; Beets - Virl Herrin of
Shopville;
Cushaw - Alma Herrin of Shopville; Pumpkin - Paul Brinkley of
Flat Lick;
Turnips - Eva Cox of Grundy; Tobacco - Lowell Eaton of Flat Lick;
Wheat -
Evelyn Cox of Grundy; Apples - Theodore Stewart of Grundy; Pear
Preserves -
Alleen Callahan of Grundy; Oats - Cora Whitis of Shopville; Peach
Preserves -
Alma Herrin of Shopville; Biscuits - Alma Herrin of Shopville;
Corn Bread -
Burl Herrin of Shopville; Cake - Alma Herrin of Shopville; Apple
Pie - Alleen
Callahan of Grundy; Dried Apple - Alleen Callahan of Grundy;
Molasses -
Jewell Bobbitt of Flat Lick. The Shopville and Grundy
schools took seven
grand champions each and Flat Lick took five. This makes a
tie between
Grundy and Shopville schools for the beautiful flag that the
business men of
Somerset had bought. It was moved by the teacher of Grundy
school, Mr.
Herrin, that Shopville keep the flag half the time and Grundy the
other half
until next fall when it should be contested for at another school
fair.
