TO-DAY'S TELEGRApHIC NEWS
The Ohio Legislature.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 5.-The contest
for control of the legislature will likely
be carried into the courts. The Official
returns of about one-fourth of the
lightweight counties have been re.
ceived by the Secretary of State. 1t is
proposed now to prevent the issue OF
certificates of election to certain leglsla-
tive candidates if the courts will 30
order. To-day interest centers in the
official counting of the vote Wood
county. The republican plurality in
that county for representative was to-.
day announced as twenty.eight. The
democrats claim the representative by
a plurality of fourteen. If Wood county
should finally be put in the democratic
list by the official figures the legislature
would stand "a republicans to II dem.
ocrats. While this is a mathematical
majority of 8, it is constitutional sur
plus of only one. 1t requires 70 votes
to elect Senator on joint ballot. With
only IA republicans IN the legislature
the death of a republican member or q
republican vacancy from any cause
would leave bare majority. and If
Wood county should elect q democrat.
ic representative there is no doubt
there would be startling developments
at once in at least two other counties.
When the board of elections took its
noon recess at Bowling Green the two
democratic members of the board Of
elections refused to sign the official
canvass of the vote of Wood county I'm.
less the vote of one precinct IN Center
township was thrown out. The vote of
this precinct makes difference of AZ
votes on the Wood county representa-
tive. If it is counted the republican
representatives will have plurality of
% and if it is thrown out the democrat
ic representative will have a plurality
of Is. The republicans will try to CON-
pei the democrats to sign the returns by
mandamus proceedings.
Hon. Chas. r. Kurtz, who wss chair
man of the republican State committee
in 1896 and 1895, says there is nothing in
the talk about certain republican mem
bers of the legislature combining with
the democrats to elect Gov. Bushnell or
any other man Senator in place of
Senator Hanna, who was endorsed by
the last republican State convention for
both the short aud the full term for
Senator.
