 The greatest Republican gains are o,,t side the large cities Some of the Dem ocratic counties showed the largest Re- publican gains. A notable exception in the rural districts was found in Pile and Adams. which jointly elected Democrat ic member of the Legislature for the first time in eight years.
 At 10 o'clock the Democratic state com mittee had no claims to make on the state ticket or the legislature. Chairman Dick. at 10 o'clock. gave out a statement that the Republicans had carried the state by over 5000. and a decisive ma jority in each branch of the legislature.
 The greatest Republican demonstration here tonight was over the returns show ing that Nash had carried Lucas County. together with the legislative ticket As Governor Nash had opposed the state ap- propriation for the proposed Ohio cen- tennial exposition in Toledo 1t was ex- pected that he would lose that county.
