LITICAL BAILIWICKS

ceed a Republican.

CINCINNATI, o., April 1.-Fair wealth
er prevailed in Ohio today for the mu-
nicipal and township elections. The un-
usually large vote for April indicated
more interest than usual in these local
contests This was due to the fact that
full state ticket is to be elected next
November, together with members of the
legislature, who will choose a successor
to Senator Foraker. In some localities
legislative nominations were made by
popular vote. None show any opposition
to Foraker among the Republicans, and
there was not enough action of this kind
to indicate any preference for John r.
Mclean, Tom L. Johnson or any else
as the Democrat favored for the senato--
ship.
There was no election in Cincinnati

test at Columbus, where the Republicans
for the past two years have had the

interest in the contest there Democrat
ic administrations were in control at
