OHI0'S VOTE is CAST.
FORAKER ELECTED GOVERNOR.
His Plurality Nearly 1S,OOO-The Elec-
tiou Conceded by the Democratic State
Committee Republican Gains in
Nearly Every District.

in Ohio to-day was for State and county |
officers, for thrty-seven Senators and one
hundred and ten Representatives of the
general assembly and upon four amend
ments to the constitution of the State, |
three of which relate to changing the
State elections from October to November. |
Gov Hoadly is the Democratic candidate
for re election, J. B. Foraker, the Republi- |
can candidate, and Rev A. b. Leonard,
the Prohibition candidate for governor.
There are 2Ol7 voting precincts in the
State. Comparison will be made with ihe
vote for governor in 1888, when Governor
Hoadly was elected by plurality of Il, ,529
over Foraker
AS far as can be told nearly the full
registered vote was polled There were
some arrests for fraudulent attempts TO
vote and some minor disorderly conduct,
but in general it was peaceabe election.
The first returns received by the Associa-
ted Press, indicate gains for Foraker
When 20 precincts had been heard from
he had IA net gain of 359. The Prohibition
vote gives indication of a considerable
gain.
$50 p. m.-Returns from sixty wards
and precincts show Foraker's vote to be
s6O3; Hoadly's, 6039; Leonards, 697 ; net
Republican gain g4S The vote for Leon
ard is irregular, large gains in some pre-
cincts with no vote at all i'll Others and Il
few losses.
9.2O p m-Seventy. eight wards and pre-
cincts give Foraker Il total vote of 10,SO6.
HOadly 1923, Leonard S56 ; net Republican
gain 973.
9:4U p. m-Ninety-six wards and pre-
cincts give Foraker l4,512, Hoadly | .S35,
Leonard 1884; Republican gain l4l4. Full
returns from the 9th show the same ma
jority as was given in 1888.
One hundred and siXty-five precincts
gave Foraker POS ,93, Hoadiy 81 ,0O9, Leo
nard 1871 net Republican gain 2t99. Up
to this time but little has been heard from
the legislature. a Republican senator has
been elected in the 22d district, two Re
publican representatives in Columbia
county and one in Meigs; one Democratic
representative in Tuscsawasa and one in
CorbacktOwn. 1t is impossible yet to
compare the source of gain of the PrOhbi-
ton candidate, but a cursory examination
of the returns SO far received indicate
Democratic losses where there is u Pro-
hibiton gain. In other wards so far as
can now be seen the Prohibition vote is
drawn from both parties.
One hundred and ninety-eight precincts
show IL net Republican gain of 3O04. This
is nearly one-tenth of the voting precincts
in the States $50 precints in the State
show IA net Republican gam of 1927.
RoSs county Will give loOO RepuOllcan
majority. The Republican senator and
representative ran ahead of the ticket
and the whole Republican county ticket is
elected.
Eighty-five precincts from Hamilton
county show a Republican majority of
1859. The Republican gains in Erie coun-
