IN Ohlo, returns Wednesday indicat-
ed that the plurality of Herrick, repub-
lcan, FOR governor, over johnson, DEM
ocrat, will exceed 125, 900, but that the
rest OF the republican state ticket will
not have so large a plurality. AS the

some conceded to the democrats, the

ture, making possible the reelection of

two years ago.
In Massachusetts, Gov. John L. Bates
was reelected by the republicans by a
plurality of 35,S49 over Col. William A.
CASTOR, in a total vote only slightly
under that of 1902. The vote was Bates
1873 1888; CASTOR, 1853, 544. Both gained
about three thousand over last year,
but as the socialist vote dropped from
33,629 to a little more than $4,000. and
that for the prohibition and socialist
and labor candidates remained about
the same, the total vote for all candi-
fell just short of that of last year,
which was the largest in the history
of the state. With the head of the
ticket went the other republican can

have majorities ranging from 225, 200 to
230, 900. Gov. Garvin was reelected in
Rhode Island with a plurality of 1857
the republicans carried the balance
of the ticket and the legislature. In
Maryland returns show a good major
ity for Edwin Warfield democratic
candidate for governor. The democrats
elected a substantial majority of
the legislature, thus insuring a demo-
cratic successor to United States Sen
ator McComas. Nebraska went repub-
lican, candidates being elected by ma
