IN THE EASTERN STATES
Continued from Page l.

years in succession for that party in
Ohio. and il insures the reelection of
Sc atOr Foraker
he extent OF the Republican success
is attributed to the SILVER Democrats
not NOung5 TO the attitude Of John X.
Mclean, the Democratic candidate for
gOV-rnOr Two years ago and the Ohio
member OF the national Democratic
committee; to the superior Organiza-
lion Oh the Republicans, and other
causes. The Republicans attribute the
result largely to the popular desire not
10 disturb the prev alIlng prosperity, IN
accordance with Senator Hanna's APP
pUaI TO Let we'll enough alone" to
the desire to support President ROOse-
veiJ ii carrying out the policy Of the
lac President Mckinney, and TO en-
OOis- Governor Nash and Senator For
aKer
ne Republicans are so elated over
their triumph that they are talking Of
Congressman Dick, who has been
chairman of their state committee for
eleven years, for governor two years
hence, when Senator Hanna stands for
reelection. and it is generally pre-
dicted that John r. Mclean then will
be the Democratic candidate for SEN
aLOr.
it is believed that Charles R. Baker
OF Cincinnati, who has been an avowed
candidate against Foraker, will re-
ceive the complimentary vote Of the
Democratic minority in the present leg
islature for senator. Hamilton county,
which includes Cincinnat sent a mixed
delegation to the last legislature when
John r. Mclean, Democrat carried
that county for governor. The delega-
ton then had only two Republicans.
This year the delegation consists of
thirteen Republicans. Lucas county
had two Republican members in the
last legislature. but under the new
census it has four members, all Re
publicans.
The Democrats gain four members
in Franklin and one in Adams and Pike
counties. The Republicans gain one
members each in Summit, Muskingum,.
Ross and William counties. In the last
legislature Montgomery had one Re
publican and one Democratic member.
This year that county elected three
Republican members.
SO far as the returns indicate, the
local option candidates of both parties
Tor the legislature have been defeated.
The liquor men are especially jubilant
over the defeat of 7. H. Clark, one of
the Republican candidates in Frank
lin county. who was the author of the
local option bill that was defeated in
the last legislature.
Complete returns from the city of
Columbus give Nash, Republican, 49,
657; KilbOurne, Democrat. 1903: Kill
bOurne's plurality, 1,Z57. Nash carried
the city two years ago by 2,755. Kill
bOurne's plurality in Franklin county
is about $500.
At Democratic state headquarters no
official statement has been given out
tonight except that they concede the
state to the Republicans Chairman
Dick, of the Republican state commit
tee said good night to the crowd after
issuing the following:
Returns at midnight indicate the
election of Governor Nash by $1,000
and upward. and the election of
twenty-five to twenty-five of the
thirty-three members of the senate,
and seventy to eighty Of the ITO men,
bers of the house"
These figures on the standing of the
legislature happened TO be the same as
in Chairman Dicks ante-election state
ment last Saturday. The Republican
plurality exceeds the average of 50 900
for the last ten years, or since the first
election Of Mckinley as governor,
which has been termed the greatest
Republican era in Ohio.
The plurality for Mckinley for presi-
dent last year was SO .030 on tOtal vote
Of 1,049.121, and for Nash two years
ago 1903, with total vote Of 900, 872.
The total vote this year will not reach
100000 and the shortage is considered
one Of the features of the campaign
from which the Democrats were the
greatest losers.
