nearly 400 votes in Springfield the home
of Gov. Bushnell, but this was expected

Senator Hanna failed to carry his own
county of Cuyahoga, despite his energetic
efforts. Jones. the non-partisan candidate,
has swept the county, his victory there
being the expression of a protest against
Hannas methods.
