Garber's Statement.
Chairman CARRIER said: @The causes? ?
When any party has been for a long
time in power 1t is inclined to become
dictatorial and In the course Of time
few men are apt to try to run things
In short, 'Bossism' arises. Then comes
revolution. This is the revolt of the
people against all that sort Of thing
which was accomplished by Cox and
his methods In Hamilton county. Then
this year for the first time in many
years we had all Of the elements OF
the Democratic party working togeth.
er unitedly and harmoniously. And
our organization has been good In all
but few counties. The Brannock
law and the governors actions In re.
gard to it, which aroused the best
people OF the state, aligned them all
against the party in power. And the
Inheritance tax and all the other
vicious legislation for which the Re-
publican party was responsible con-
tributed to the result.
Herrick's Statement.
Governor Herrick issued a lengthy
statement commenting on the result.
Among other things he said:
This overthrow OF the Republican party
in Ohio was not caused by business de-
preston or industrial adversely anywhere
7 in the state or nation; II was not caused
by any discomfort on the conduct Of the
state government: It was not caused by
any discomfort on the part OF the peo-
pie with the record or achievements Of
the Republican party in the administra-
tlOn OF StuIB uuTlH8 tHc idSt II
years. It was shown conclusively In the
campaign that the business affairs of the
itate had been well managed: that all
,he states debts had been paid; that
/ there Is n splendid surplus in the treas
ury; that the state institutions have been
honestly, efficiently and economically ad-
ministered, and that nowhere In any Of
fee or department of the state govern
ment has there been any breath OF scan
dal or official misconduct.
The one keen regret feel over the re-
suit arises from the disappointment felt
by the thousands OF Republicans Of Ohio
whose support Of the ticket, and the whole
ticket, was the earnest of their steadfast
loyalty to party principles. They have
my heart&elt thanks and deepest gratitude
for their splendid devotion,
