complete unofficial returns indicate
that the Republican plurality in Ohio
is between 210.0O0 and 215.000. or over
three times the plurality this state
ever gave any national ticket About
a dozen counties have been carried by
the Republicans for the first time,
which means radical changes in county
and other local Offices. The Republi-
cans gained three congressman by car
rying all of the congressional dis
tricts except the fourth. in which Har-
vey c. CARRIER was reelected by 1000.
or less than one-third the usual Demo-
cratic plurality in that district.

Reflections of a Bachelor.


It's awful warm work sitting
two IN a hammock with a fat
girl.
A woman can get terribly mad
with you for losing her temper.
Occasionally you find a man
who knows better than to let
everybody else know how much
he knows.
A woman has an idea that if
she can teach her daughter to
make good tomato catsup, ev.
erybody will think she is a good
housekeeper.
When you kiss a girl and it
comes off on your lips, it is a
sign she didn't think you were
going to get the chance or she
wouldn't have done it.-New
