rave vanished this morning. Judge
Nash, republican, has come out on top
Chairman Dick places Nash's margin al
SO, 900 and there does not seem to be any
inclination to dispute the clai1i. The
result in Ohio will have several effects
on national politics. Congressman Dick
who managed the campaign for the re.
publicans, adds largely to his promi.
hence. Should Senator Hanna yield
the craftsmanship of the national re-
publican committee next year, Dick
will, in all probability, be chosen to
succeed him. Another effect is the
probable return of Foraker to the Sen
ate. By his desertion of his old follow
