Mayor

Cincinnati, April 2.-F2ir weather
prevailed Ia Ohio yesterday for inu-
nicipal aEd township elections. The

November as Well as members of the
legislature who will choose q successor
to Senator Foraker In q few localities
legislative nominations were made by

sition to Foraker among the Republic

tion to indicate any preference for
John r. Mclean Tom l.. johnson or
any one else as the Democratic favor
ite for the senatorship.
There was no election in Cincinnati.
Mayor Fleischmann and the other Re
publican city officials were elected one
year ago for a period CT three years.

until next April. the contest in that
city yesterday being for police judge
only.
Special interest was taken in the
contest at Columbus, where tho Re-
publicarG for the past two years have
had all the city Offices. Governor Nash
and former Congressman Lontz reside
at Columbus, and both took great in
terest in the contest there. Demo-
cratic administrations we're in control

the Republicans made hard fights to
control the political machinery of as
many cities as possible at the state
election in November Sam Jones

form, ana was elected by a good ma
jOrity Tom l.. Johnson. Dem, de-
