the chairman of both the Republican and
Democratic State Committees We're
claiming the election of their respective
State tickets and also a maj0ie5ty of the
Legislature. There are no Jones legisia-
tive candidates, but Samuel NJ. Jones,
Mayor of Toledo, is certainly the closest
third that ever entered the Ohio gIber-
natorial race The indications are that
he has drawn more heavily from the Re
publicans in the cities than from the
Democrats, with the exception of Column
bus and some smaller cities and that the
Jones vote will not he SO large i'll the
rural districts. There is not the usual
percentage of either nepuIbHcan or Dem
ocratic gains or losses, as the gains run
for the Republicans i'm some places and
for the Democrats in other sections.
Even after the returns are complete from
Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo it may
be difficult 70 reach the RESULT positively
tonight, owing to the tide in the Jones
vote. which runs i'm streals and causes
Republican losses in some places, and
Democratic losses in other places.

Cleveland and Toledo give Nash 23,310;
Mclean 26,G6S; Jones 3,G60, all others
$40.

Chapman 26,4GS. All others 1,236.
