At ll:3J Chairman Blaciter said that the
state would go republican by from 30, 900 to 37,-
600 plurality. He thought that late returns
from the back counties would show heavier
democratic vote, He said that the loss of Ohio
was due to three causes:
First the fact that war had been carried to
a successful conclusion by the present ad-
minstration, and the republicans made desper-
ate efforts to indorse it with big vote.
Second. the democrats had no funds, while
the republicans had plenty OF money to run a
campaign.
| Third the stay at-home democratic vote
caused a lack of enthusiasm.
Chairman Blacker claims the safe election Of
| democratic congressman in all the districts
! now held by the democrats and the election OF
John Zimmerman In the Seventh district, but
| admits that this district will be very close
ONO has blasted the bright hopes of the
democracy and receded from the encouraging g
| position she took last fall. The latest returns
show that the entire republican state ticket is
elected by probably j0,OOl. and perhaps much
more than that. From every section the ad-
| vices show great republican gains over the
vote received by Gov, Bushnell year ago.
| This, however applies to the state ticket
| only The congressional delegation remains
politically the anne with l5 repu blica9s and
democrats.
