Iicans broke their record In Ohio I'D
pluralities for governor by electing
Colonel Myron T.. Herrick (Rep.) over
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson (Dem) by CON
siderably over 100000. The plurality
on joint ballot of over 100 in the leg
islature for the reelection of SEN
ator Hanna, more than triples any
pervious record. Senator Foraker
had record breaking majority of
thirty-fye on joint ballot for his re-
election two years ago. and that for
Hanna this year is three times that
majority. Hanna succeeded John
Sherman In the senate March s, 1897,
by appointment from Governor Bush
nell, and when Hanna was elected
for the unexpired Sherman term and
the full term of six years ending
March S, 1905, he had only one ma
jority after the most bitter contest
that was ever waged in an Ohio leg
islature. Senator Hanna will have
the distinction of having the largest
as well as the smallest majority of
any senator elected from Ohio.
