COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 2.-At 10 D.
m. the Democratic state committee
claimed the election Of their state tick
ct by from 5000 to 10000 plurality, and
majority of the legislature on Joint
ballot for United States senator. No
figures were given on the thirty-six
state senator's and 109 representative.
but it was claimed that the Repub-
lfcan loss of fourteen members of the
legislature in Hamilton county would
insure Democratic control of the Iegis-
lature. The Democrats also claimed
the twelve members of the legislature
from Cuyahoga county, which includes
Cleveland, the home of Senator Han
ma. The Republican state committee
conceded the loss Of Hamilton county
but claimed that there were not suhi-
cient returns from Cleveland on which
to base any estimate. With the loss
Of fourteen members Of the Legislature
in Hamilton county, and Of twelve
members In Cuyahoga county, the Re-
publicans do not expect to carry the
legislature. The Republican state
committee claim they will carry Cuya-
hoga county and make gains in other
counties. They state that they had
anticipated losses in the cities on ac-
count of local fights on bosslsm and
other factional troubles. but that they
had the best reports from the rural
districts
A heavy. continuous rain prevailed
all day and this, no doubt affected the
rural vote. The Republican gains
seem to come from the rural Demo-
cratic counties and the Democratic
gains from the Republican counties in
which the large cites are located.
The Republicans at this hour do not
cOncede the loss Of their state ticket
or Of the control Of the legislature, but
admit that the result will be very
close on both. Owing to the condition
OF the roads the bicycle messengers
are having trouble in rendering the
prompt service that was expected
from the rural precincts
At 11:30 o'clock the Democratic msn-
ayers at their state headquarters had
rot changed their earlier claims on the
election of Chapman as governor. and
on securing a majority on joint ballot
in the legislature for senator. No def
mite figures were given out and it was
conceded that some doubtful counties
and senatorial districts had not been
heard from on the vote for members
of the legislature
Chairman Nash at the Republican
state headquarters, would not give out
any statement at this hour, but his
assistants, who were tabulating the re-
turns. announced that Bushnell was
elected governor and the entire Re-
publican state ticket was elected by
from 5000 TO 10, 900 plurality. The basis
OF Democratic gains had been reduced
since 10 p. m, from IS to per precinct.
At Republican state headquarters at
this hour they are more confident Of
having a majority In the legislature
than of decisive plurality on the state
ticket. They claimed eighteen Of the
-thirty-siX senators sure, With fifteen
Democrats and three doubtful. They
also claimed majority Of the lO9 rep
resentatives. but definite figures are not
given on either the counties for repre-
sentatives or the senatorial districts.
This county Franklin) gave McKin-
lev a plurality Of 2,2OO last year. That
gives the Democratic state ticket this
year a plurality of 1000 and elects the
entire Democratic ticket, the only close
vote being for sheriff.
