says that Tay has carried the Third
Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Eleventh con

have made heavy gains in most all ui
the Democratic strongholds, which
were expected to give Goebel large ms
jorities. Chairman Long claims the
Republicans have carried the city oi
Louisville by from 5000 to 5000 ms
jority. Returns received up to mid
night also indicate the election of the
entire Republican ticket. while thr

Of the legislature There are no Jones

Jones, mayor of Toledo. is certainly
the closest third that ever entered the
Ohio gubernatorial race. The indica-
tions are that he has drawn more
heavily from the Republicans in the
cities than from the Democrats. with
the exception of Columbus and smaller
cities. and that the Jones vote will
not be so large in the rural districts
There is not the usual percentage of
either Republican or Democratic gains
or losses, as the gains run for the
Republicans in some places and for the
Democrats in other sections. Even
after the returns are complete from
Cincinnati. Cleveland and Toledo It
may be difficult to reach the result
positively. 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. Judge Nash claims his elec-

Chairman Dick said he was assured
the Republicans had carried every

Later returns show that the Demo
cratic gains in Cincinnati and other
cities were reduced and that Mclean
was likely third at Cleveland and pos
sibly at Toledo, in which cities Jones
drew much more heavily from The
Democrats than from the Republican,.
At the same time the Republican net
