local issues usually control these spring

some places to-day.

ing an echo of last years Senatorial
contest. when Mayor Mckisson was the
candidate of the betting Republicans,
and the Democrats in the Legislature
against Senator Hanna
AT Toledo an Independent Republi-
can was elected on Pingree issues, as
sisted by fractional complications.
At Dayton the Democrats made mu-
nicipal gains. but the Republicans
gained in the township.
The Western Reserve maintains its
usual Republican majorities with some
gains over those of former April cleo
tons notably at Youngstown, Warren,
Cadiz, Delaware and other cities in
northeastern OfTiiU. IN the smaller cities
as well as in rural districts the Repub-
licans claim gains. notably at Chilli
Gothic. where there was 4 change, Mayor
Brown being defeated for reelection nv
James Wood by 800.

Councilmen and a member of the Board
of Education.
cd their majorties also at Lima, New

noleon, AS n rule the vote was light.

Kinley, James Robertson, Republican.

change from the present Democratic
administration.
IN MICHIGAN
Detroit, April 3-To-day's elections
in Michigan have not shown any
marked change in the general political
complexion of the State, which is nor
mally Republican. but The result shows
quite heavy Democratic gains in some
of the larger cities, notably so in De-
ti'oit Grand Rapids. Saginaw, Jackson
and Kalamazoo. On generally light
vote the Republicans hold their own
in the smaller cities and throughout the
rural districts. Circuit judges we're
elected in thirty-six judicial districts.
About two-thirds OF the new judges,
who are elected for six year terms, are
Republicans.
