Republican State ticket Both branches
of the legislature are Republican"
(Signed) CHARLES DICK,

ut declined to make one for the AssO-
ciated Press. He was then asked il
he conceded the election of Nash or
claimed the election of Mclean, to
which he replied:
Il will say nothing
TOLEDO, o., November Mayor
Jones late tonight said: 1.-THE result of
the election is extremely gratifying to
me, as it must be to every lover Of lib
erty. The vote for the non-partisan
idea is large enough to justify the claim
that the cause has won the greatest
victory ever recorded in the political
history of the State.
Il believe the moral force will lead
the Legislature to pass the municipal
code commission bill, which provides
that municipal officers in Ohio shall be
elected by the non-partisan plan, doing
away entirely with political parties in
all our cities. Furthermore, the vote
for the non-partisan idea will have its
influence in shaping national issues
next year. There will be more of NOR
ais in the national platforms by the
reason of it.
81 am thankful that the non-partisan
vote in Ohio may be recorded as fla
voring Christian policy towards the
Philippines"
TOLEDO, O., November THE en-
tire Republican county and legislative
ticket with one exception is evidently
elected by pluralities ranging from l.
600 to 5000. Yost, Dem, treasurer, is
probably reelected. At midnight SO Of
the 10 precincts in the county were re-
turned, giving Nash Ass; Mclean, 81
322; Jones, 1882 Jones cut deeper in
to the Democratic vote than was ex-
pected and harmed the Republicans less
than they feared. Betting was to 1
that Jones would carry his own county.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November TAT
10 D. m. the chairmen of both the Re-
publican and Democratic State commit
tees were claiming the election of their
respective State tickets and also a ma
jority of. the Legislature. There are
no Jones legislative candidates but
Samuel NJ. Jones, mayor OF Toledo, is
certainly the closest third that even
entered the gubernatorial race. The
indications are that he has drawn
more heavily from the Republicans in
the cities than from the Democrats
with the exception of Columbus and
some smaller cities and that the Jones
vote will not be so large in the rural
districts. There is not the usual per-
centage of either Republican or Demo-
crat gains or losses. The gains run for
the Republicans in some places and for
the Democrats in other regions. Even
after returns are complete from Cincin-
no
difficult to report the result definitely
tonight owing to the tide in the Jones
vote, which runs in streaks and causes
Republican losses in some places and
Democratic losses in other places. AT
10 a. m. Judge Nash claimed his cleo
ton as Governor and Chairman Dick
said he was assured the Republicans
had carried everything but he had no
figures to announce. The Associated
Press sent to Mr.. Mclean at his resi-
dence asking if he claimed his election
and received the reply that he had no
answer yet to make. Chairman Seward
of the Democratic committee, said he
was not prepared yet to~answer the
question.
