WHAT THEY THINKIN OHIO.
Republicans Will Elect State Tickst But
Democrats May Get tbs Legislature
(By the Associated Press.)

tBy the Associated PreSS.)
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 31.-The cam
paign in Ohio practically closed tonight
with rallies everywhere.
The election Tuesday is for full State
ticket and members of the Legislature
that selects the successor of Senator
Hanna. For the first time IN OHIO the
two parties have had nominees to- Sen
ator. John H. Clarke, OF Cleveland, ana
Senator Hanna have canvassed the entire
State for Senator and the Senatorial fight
has predomInated over State affairs. John
H Clarke has been known for years as
ano orator and his eloquent addresses have
bee ndirected against Senator Hanna,
while Mayor Tom L. Johnson, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, and other
Democratic speakers have also mace
Hanna the target of their attacks. Sena-
ter Hanna aimed his phillppcs at Mayor
Johnson more than at his senatorial op
ponent Johnson was charged with be-
ing the real candidate for Senator as
well as for Governor, and prospective.x d
candidate for the Democratic nomination
fcr President next year. While Hanna
and Johnson are not candidates for tue
same place, yet the fight has been one
throughout between these two men.
The indications are that johnson viii
get most OF the Socialist vote, which was
over II 600 last year, but it is very doubt
full if the whole of that vote would equal
his Democratic losses. All predictions are
that the Republicans will eject their
State ticket by large plurality and the
only claims of the Democrats are Tor the
Legislature. 1t is held by the Democrats
that the Republicans might elect theil
State ticket by fifty thousand pluralit,
and yet lose the Legislature.

rathe rslow and uninteresting, though
Davidson played with a great deal more
snap than Virginia The game was called
at $3.50 o'clock and was played in twenty
minute halves. Council, right tackle for
Virginia, was the star of the game; his
playing was superb. For Davidson, Whit
aker, who played opposite Council, did
splendid work and his runs were wei
played. The Virginians averaged fifteen
pounds heavier than their opponents.
In the first half Virginia scored two
touchdowns and kicked as many goals. In
the last half two touchdowns were made,

football game, Harvard defeated the Car

The closeness OF the score was MADE
possible by one OF the most unique tricks
tried on football field for many years
Dillon at the start of the second half,
received the Harvard kick off on his five
yard line, and then hiding the ball under
his jersey behind his back, ran the
length of the field empty-handed for a
