centered the fight upon Mr.. Ankeny,
he received s8,135 plurality. as COM
pared with 90,465 for Laylin at the
head of the ticket.
In fact, the difference In the plural.
tiles for the different candidates ON the
Republican State ticket are not nearly
as wide this year as they were in 1901.
The range then was from 8T.567 for
Nash for Governor to S4,656 for Price
for Judge of the Supreme Court. LIEU
tenant Governor Nippert's plurality
was 1880; Treasurer Cameron, s3,179;
Der Board of Public Works Johnson.
s2,023; and Clerk Of Supreme Court
Emerson, S1,794. These variations
We're never equalled In an Ohio election
so that this years fluctuations are
small by comparison.
Chairman Dicks prediction on the
election result proves to have been very
conservative. His estimate placed "Mr.
Laylin's probable plurality for Secre-
tary of State at not less than $4,000,
and with as large Republican vote
as was polled last year our plurality
may reach 100000" Itactually exceed
ed 10000, while the total vote shows
about the same difference, being S11,-
467 for Secretary Of State instead Of
probable 100000. which was Chairman
Dicks estimate In round numbers.
The great shrinkage in votes is o.
$40 on Bigelow, heading the Democrat
ic ticket. The Prohibition vote in
creased 2,45s. The Socialist vote near.
ly doubled, its increase being 6,SS1
The Socialist Labor vote fell off II.
Another of Chairman Dicks predic-
tions that was more than made good
was his claim that Laylin would "car-
ry not fewer than 90 out of the So
counties" The number the Republi-
cans carried for the head of the ticket
was 62 counties, as against 80 coun-
ties last year, and 81 for Mckinley.
Clermont county Republican by H.,
Pike by 65, and Tuscarawas by 1877,
were the smallest Republican plurali-
ties, Henry py 10, Highland by 81,
Marion by 140, and Seneca by 100
were the closest Democratic counties.
Not one of the old Democratic strong
holds approached the two thousand
line. Cuyahoga was 2.32S, being the
only one Il, that class
Chairman Dick also said: 1--WE
shall certainly elect II, and probably
Is, Of the 21 members of Congress"
That is just the number. The close
districts were the 18TH, (Franklin coun-
ty) where Badger, Democratic, beat
Huling, Republican. by 770, as against
1.965 for Laylin, the fight being upon
purely personal grounds; the 18th,
where Jackson, Republican, defeated
Norton, Democratic, by 327. In the
counties that gave Norton> two years
ago 6,610; the 18th, IN which Van voor-
his, Republican, has 6i2 plurality.
This 10th District gives Chairman
Dick the largest majority for Congress
in the state probably He is credited
with 11,471 plurality over o. d. Ever
hard, but this Is nearly all clear ma
jority, as the third party vote on Con-
gress cut practically no figure in this
uiStrict. LOnSWOItu ~ tHe FlrSL uS-
trict has 14,611 plurality and Goebel
in the Second 12,179, but there was a
large Socialist vote In both the Cincin-
natl districts, diminishing their major
tiles. In the 18th district, Kennedy
had 1859 plurality over Foley, the
Democrat. but DUFFY, the Labor candi-
date, received 1923 votes, making Ken.
nedy's majority 4,0as
Some extraordinary changes in plur-
alities may be noted In the Congress
sional districts, The Third district re-
elected Nevin by 1856, while his pre-
vious plurality was 154. Harvey Gar
ber, chairman Of the Democratic State
Executive committee bad only 1858
over Rogers, in the Fourth district.
