MAKES CLAIMS FOR JONES.
Ex-senator FRsSctt, His Manager
Confident of Success.

Special Dispatch Ia The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. November lex
State Senator \. d. FaSsett said today that
in his oponion Mayor Jones was certain of
election as governor Of Ohio. He is the
manager OF the Jones campaign. He gave
as the reason for his belief that Mayor
Jones would win that he mad been in every
part OF the state and mingled in crowds Of
al classes and he had yet the first shop
store. office. bank car or club to find in
which there was not a majority for Jones
But while large vote is generally con-
ceded 10 Jones. 10 one outside OF his or
ganization claims that he will come any,
y here near election The chairrnen of the
democratic and republican committees re-
fuse to make any statement OF what thew
expect the result to be Chairman seward
or the democratic state committee however
denies the report printed in republican
newspapers 10 the effect that his poll of the
state shows 1853 more votes in the state
for Nash than for Mclean, and saws his
poll Is very favorable for the democrats
IL IS a significant turn in the tactics Of
both parties that in the last two weeks
they have ceased to ignore Jones' candi-
dacy and are fighting him.
1t IS an indication that they expect the
labor vote TO go 10 him largely: that both
parties are trying TO make II appear thar
