senator
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov, 4.--Many
talk about crisis In Ohio Some be-
Ieve that crisis is impending. The
talk about a combine in the legislature
against Senator Hanna has subsidized,
pending the interest In the Official
counting OF the vote in close counties
As the official canvass of the vote In
the eighty-eight counties proceeded to-
day the Republican plurality on the
state ticket increased and on the legis-
ln,lve tickets 1t appeared to be getting
toward a very close shave.
While the Republican plurality on
state ticket exceeds $4,000, the vote on
the legislative ticket is almost as close
as 1t could be. For this reason there is
still unusual anxiety at the respective
state headquarters of both parties.
The Republicans still claim that the
legislature stands seventy-five Repub-
llcans to seventy Democrats on Joint
ballot for senator, and that their can
didates for representative IN three ofthe
close counties have been elected by the
following pluralltles:
Delaware county 20: Wood county Is;
Noble county S5; total OF 142 in the
pnralities OF these three counties. A
change Of seventy-two votes, properly
distributed In these three counties
would therefore, have turned the result
In the legislature by giving these three
representatives to the Democrats. Then
the legislature would have stood sew
eHty-twe Republicans and seventy
three Democrats on joint ballot for
senator
