Columbus. O., Nov. Returns today
indicate that the plurality of Herrick,
Republican for governor over Johnson,
Democrat, will exceed 125,000, though
the rest of the Republican state ticket
will not have so large plurality. AS
the Republicans not only carried the
doubtful counties and districts, but also
some that were conceded to the Demo-
Gratis, the majority on joint ballot in the
legislature for the reelection of Sena-
tor Hanna is now placed at 80 out of a
total membership in both branches OF
143, almost three times as many as two
years ago, when the Republicans had
what was considered an unprecedented
majority of So on joint ballot for the
reelection of Senator Foraker. AS Sen
ator Hanna had only one majority on
Joint ballot six years ago and as he
was the issue in this campaign the re-
suit is generally commented on more as
a victory than anything else.
Chairman Dick says: "Hanna's per
sonalitv did it."
The large wagers that were placed
''on information from headquarters
did not go above $4,000 for Herrick. The
betting Republicans have all kinds of
money. getting most of it on much less
than half of Herricks plurality. A
syndicate of Cincinnati and Columbus
made very large winnings from Demo-
Gratis at Cleveland. This syndicate re-
fused to bet even on Cuyahoga county.

He did not carry one-fourth of the

This was when John Brough, during

SAYS DUTCH HAVE CAPTURED
HOLLAND.
Cleveland, Nov. 4.-John H. Clarke
Democratic candidate for United States
senator, today made the following
statement, concerning the result of the
election:
The result is surprising only in the
increase of the Republican majority
The increased majority against the
Democrats I attribute to the fact that
the aggressive campaign waged by Mr.
johnson, with such aid as 1 could rem
der, resulted in creating an activity on
the part of the Republican organiza-
ton not equalled in recent years. This
brought out a largely increased Re-
publican vote, while the Democratic
vote was not correspondingly increased
because of the factions in southern and
western Ohio which were organized and
led by ambitious and wealthy men
within the party.
I'm Cuyahoga county all of the men
disappointed because not given
office united with those who were tried
and found wanting and dropped, and
these under skilful leadership, in my
judgment, accomplished the result in
this county. To these factors should
be added the adroit appeal of Senator
Hanna to the cupidity and fears of the
people which seems to have prevailed
But after all the Dutch have effectively
captured Holland -
