OHIO.
Result Close But Democrats Are Con-
fident of Legislature.

Columbus, O., Nov. 2.-The result in
Ohio is so close that it may require
the official count to determine the re-
suit, especially on the political COM
plexion of the legislature The Repub-
leans and the Democrats are both
claiming the state and the legislature
with such persistence that it will re-
quire the official count at least to get
one or the other to concede defeat. In
complete returns indicate the election
of the Republican state ticket by from
1000 to $4,000, but the result on the
legislature is so close that no definite
figures can be given out tonight. The
Democrats claim confidently major
ity in both branches of the legislature,
but give no figures on the number of
state senators or representatives. The
Republicans claim 81 representatives
and IL senators, or II votes on joint
ballot, 73 being necessary to elect a
senator They also claim all of the
u representatives which have not been
definitely heard from.
Out of the five state senators yet to
hear from they claim three, so that
the result of the legislature cannot be
determined until all the doubtful coun-
ties and districts are heard from. Both
sides are watching the count very
closely, especially on the legislative
candidates that are in doubt.
The change from the result of last
year shows that the Democrats have
gained in all of the cities largely ex-
cept in Cleveland. The gains in Gin
cinnati and Columbus were very large
The Republicans gained in the rural
districts, but most of the changes were
due to the stay at home vote from the
rural districts, which was fully Is per
cent.
AT 2:30 the Democrats are claiming
nine majority in the legislature on Joint
ballot and a majority in both branches
of that body. The Republicans at the
same hour claim only II of the SO SEN
ators, which would prevent them from
passing any party bills. The Repub-
licans, however claim "a representa-
tives. This means a Republican ma
jority Of four in the house and a Demo
cratic majority of two in the senate.
On this claim the Republicans would
have two majority on joint ballot for
senator.
Since midnight the following is given
out from the Republican state head
quarters:
To The Associated Press: I think
Bushnell has been reelected governor
by some 1900 to $4,000 plurality. We
have elected "a of the 100 representa-
tives and IL of the SO state senators
certain, assuring us of II votes on the
joint ballot. 70 votes being necessary
to elect a senator We have Il doubt
full counties unheard from in which we
expect to elect u more Republicans
There are also three doubtful sena-
torial districts unheard from in which
the five state senators are to be elected
and from which we will certainly elect
three senator's. We claim the election

Canton, o., Nov. AT 1910 Presi-

lost in such a cause than not to have
fought at all.
There is no reason to despair of good
government in the city when such a
struggle could be made against such
odds. The returns show that there was
no possibility of Republican success on
a contest on party lines, nor is it easy
to imagine a time when in this city
there will be.
For the sake of the city, I greatly
deplore the result, and yet would urge
all whom my voice may influence not to
lose heart.
1--WE have laid the foundation, it may
well be hoped, for future success, and
ours is not the first cause that has suf-
fered at the outset a heavy reverse.

any effort they may make to administer

JOHN CLARK, CITIz EMS, ELECTED MAYOR.

Fourth Precinct-George Romney,
Non partisan; Robert Patrick, Non
partisan: H. NJ. Dinwoody or Edgar
Howe, Democrats. There is a, tie be-
tween the two last which will have to
be determined by lot.
Fifth Precinct--Chris Diehl, Repub-
lican; Robert Morris, Democrat; Alex
Robertson, Republican.
AS was predicted in The Herald. the
nom partisans traded everything i'll
sight for Clark. This is apparent by a
glance at the figures. The non-parti-
sans. taking advantage of the general
apathy which prevailed concentrated
all their efforts on the election of Clark.
Especially was this effort directed to-
ward the securing of votes Of the Ia
dies.
The total vote of the city for mayor
was 1901, out of a total registration of
19. O00 Last year the registration was
II ,631, and the vote was Is, 160. The vote
this year, it will be observed, is much
less than last year, with a much lar
ger registration.
The cohlpiexion of the council, as re-
lates to Mormon and Gentle, is 13 Nor
mons and Gentiles.

bankers have apparently won a dearly

and won all along the line, except as
to the mayor.
Mr. Dale's vote is 4,901, and Mr..
Clark's 4,446. Some Slight changes are
likely to be made in this on account of
errors, and they will reduce Mr.. Clark S
already microscopic plurality.
The Republican vote was large, Do
re1nus receiving 1924, while Henry
Lawrence, Populist, received 1,0S9.

polled approximately 1900, and
George Jefferson Democracy, 1900. In
Kings county, which includes the city
of Brooklyn, the Bryan vote was 1852,
while Van Wyck's will be almost the
same. Against the Mckinley vote of
100. 135, General Tracy polls approx
mately $4,000. while Lows vote is APP
proximately $4,000.
COMPARISONS.
In these two counties the straight Re
publican vote shows a falling off of
nearly lis, 000 or in excess of the total
vote for Seth Low, while the Tammany
vote equals if it does not slightly eX-
coed that cast for Bryan.
The polling came within about $4,000
OF the entire registration, which, con-
sidering the weather conditions Under
which the election proceeded, WIS all
that could be expected. The day was
wet, foggy, ''muggy" to a degree. 1t
was such a day as in the years gone
by when voters lined UP in the streets
to await their chance to cast their bal
lots to the judges inside was called

Under the altered conditions, the

GRAND TOTAL.
New York, Nov. 3.-Following is the
grand total Of the votes received by
the three leading candidates for mayor
in Greater New York. complete returns
having been received from all of the
districts:
Van wyck, ISL; Low, 149, 1913;
Tracy, 101, S2S. Van Wyck's plurality
over Low, S5,9OS
While no figures have been reported
of the vote for congressman in the
| Third district where there was a va
caney caused by the resignation of F.
II. Wilson, it is probable that William
n. Prendergast (Rep.) is elected.
twenty-five cases of alleged illegal
voting were disposed of in Center
street court today.
MATTER OF SENTIMENT.
Whatever might have been the result
had Henry George survived the cam
paign, the elections, from the earliest
returns, showed that the substitution
Of the son for the father as the NAV
orally candidate of the Thomas JEFF
ferson Democracy had proved a fail
ure from any but the sentimental point
of view. In fact, the George candidacy
had made but a beggarly showing.

Second Ward.

There wasn't an incident connected
with the casting of the vote in the
Second ward, unless general apathy is
entitled to the distinction of being
classified as an incident. The vote
was very slow nearly everywhere and
the electors were brought out only by
the greatest exertions on the part OF
all concerned. The ladies voted quite
generally all over. The Citizens Re
form party did not get action until late
in the day, and then the wagons chased
each other until the polls closed. The
Democratic vote was in quite early for
the most part, but quite a percentage
was pOlled just before closing time.

Senator Platt remained in his apart
ments and declined to be seen.
Outside of the hotel Madison square
and the streets branching off from it
were packed with cheering, noisy
crowds, watching election returns bull
letined by newspaper. 1t was a great
contrast to the silent little gathering of
Republicans in the parlor.
When about a third of the city had
been counted up the cheering for Van
Wyck, which had been incessant, was
augmented. and the enthusiasm was
something startling. How the peoples
throats stood it is a wonder. At one
time some of the crowd in front of the
Park Row side of the city hall climbed
over the railing and jumped on the
grass. a big policeman jumped on them
and they climbed back in a hurry. This
caused a jam and there was a panic.
A few women screamed, but strong
men kept them safe.

One Reason For Defeat Lies In

out by Seth Low shortly before mid
night:
ut is not possible to discuss the re-
suit of the election in New York City
at the present moment without dis
elimination. A few things, [ think,
stand out on the surface of the figures
The year has been a heavy Democratic
year everywhere. Tammany has felt
the advantage of this strong tendency.
Think this circumstance shows the
absolute necessity, if it also shows the
difficulty, of separating municipal from
state and national issues, if the cities
are ever to be governed on their mer-
its. In the light of events. it is clear
that the Citizens Union has made a
gallant fight for the principles that are
vital. 1t is better to have fought and
