COLUMBUS. Ohio. Nov 3.-The Hon. Charles
Dick. chairman Of tho RYpu blcan State Com
mttec. issued late tonight ths following ring
ing announcement:
The situation Ia entirely satisfactory
ftom Republican standpoint. The
largest vote ever polled In State
cimraign will be cast. approIimatlnR
10000 votes and concedng Mr.. Jones from
10000 to 10000 votes Judge Nashs
plurality will not 10 less than 10000 In the
state. The Legislature will be Republican In
both branches.
Chairman Dick decided to make the an
nounccmcnt after one of tho busiest days in
the campaign From early morning he had
received reports from all OF the counties
In the state and he had directed that these
| reports should be based on absolute truth and
fact. and nothing else. lie did not want any
| opinions or estimates that could not be sub
stantiated. All Of the reports spoke Of a great
awakening that has come TO Republicans. not
only In the ctiss OF the State. but in all OF the
| rural districts.
| Early In the campaign there were evidences
| OF lstlessness All kinds OF citizens were
busy. and evidently they took II for granted
| that It would require little or no effort 10
| elect the Republican State ticket this
| iaiL There was danger In this sort Of belief.
| The voters in the Republican camps. ac-
| cordinG to the hest Information. evidently
believed that the substantial prosperity
| that followed the Inauguration OF President
| Mckinley. "a well a. other benenoent results
! which nave been associated with the National
Administration. spoke for themselves. Another
point they all pooh-poohcd was the idea that
such a Democrat ns John II. Mclean could be
| elected Governor Of tho State.
The Republican state campaigners have en-
| dsavored 10 arouse the voters from that quies-
cent state. Tho Republican campagnsrs
nre sturdy Individuals. They 40 sot
taken anything for granted They
| remind one Of the tactics OF eI-Gov
David Bennett HI NJ New York when he was
in his palmy days. as tho Democratic leader
OF the Empire State. II Mr.. Hill In those days
had ma iority Of hfty-two delegates In a State
convention and II a delegate supposedly
on the fence arrived in tho convention
city ut O'Clock in the morning. Mr.. Hill
would tumble out OF he'd and get to work on
that delegate IN an EFFORT to make the majority
hfty.thrss for Mr. liill in the State convention.
IL is only by thorough. persistent and in
cesssnt effort that political supremacy 10
maintained. The Republican campaignsrs
in this State are imbued with these
truths They have never doubted that
Judge Nash was 10 be elected by a good safe
plurality but thev didn't like TO tone OF Re-
pubicans IN various parts Of the state who
seemed TO take things easy and that every
thing would come out all right on election
day.
For the last two weeks the Republic cam
paigners have hesn after those listless ones
with sharp sticks. and to-day the reports
az 10 the present situation and tho present
determination Of tho voters began to come in.
All OF them told OF 4 great awakening and
49, sac votes now fully recognized that every
Republican and every Gold Democrat must
rots for the election OF Judge Nash and
the enior.smsnt OF the Mckinley
Acministrs'i1n Great meetings OF
business mel in ali the cities OF tho State
were started few days age. and the reports
received to day chow that these meetings have |
had very great effect in arousing the business !
men TO the situation.
Several days ago Chairman Dick de- !
clared that OF information In his hands. Judge |
Nash would be elected by 25.OOU plurality |
After all the reports were In tonight. both |
from the cities and the rural districts. Chair |
man Dick said that II was his positive duty to J
announce that Judge Nash would certainly have
plurality Of -. 900 IN the State. Everything /
at Republican STATE headquarters il at high |
pressure. 4 full head OF steam ia on
The ramrni2ners arc on the home
stretch. They have not the slightest !
doubt Of Nashs election. but they are ,
exert!nc every influence for tho purpose OF |
securing Judge Nash the largest plurality |
possible.
