CINCINNATI. Nov, 8.-There are six
candidates for governor to be voted for
in Ohio tomorrow. Three claim their
election is sure, but no one except Mayor
Samuel M. Jones and his most jealous
supporters make any such claim as that
or the election of Jones. The Jones vote
will reduce the vote Of all others. in
Guiding the Prohibfttonists, the Union
Reform and the Socia1ist-Labor tickets.
And the result depends very materially
on where the most OF the Jones' vote
VIII come from 1t is certain that
either George Nash. Republican, or John
R. Mclean, Democrat, will be elected.
If Jones polls more from the Democrats
than from the Republicans, the predfc-
ton of Chairman Dick that Judge Nash
will have $1,000 plurality may be realized.
But If Chairman Seward is correct in
assuming that Jones will draw much
more heavily from the Republicans than
from the Democrats, then Mclean will
be elected. The Democratic managers
have made much capital out Of the fact
that Jones has been a Republican up to
this campaign and that he was himself
would not pledge himself to vote for
Bryan IN 1900.
As Ohio is normally a Republican state
Jones could draw most heavily from the
Republicans and still not affect the result
were it not for the factionaI feeling which
may also cost Judge Nash some Repub-
Hcan votes. It is conceded that all votes
that can be controlled by Gov. Bushnell,
ex-Chairman Kurtz and other anti-Hanna
Republicans, will be cast for Mclean but
this factional work may not extend to
others on the Republican state ticket.
Meantime the gold Democrats, as we'll
as the Bryan Democrats, are supporting
Mclean, and there is no factionaI fuss
among the Democrats.
The campaign has been bitter, dirty
and full of charges and countercharges.
1t Is, of course, expected that this vicious
tendency will continue at the polls to-
morrow and that there will be many ar
rests, especially in the city.
