Cincinnati complete gives Dempsey,

crat, 39,931; Herrick, 3S,509; Pattison

Cleveland, Nov. S.-Incomplete re
turns indicate that Pattison has car
ried Cuyahoga county by at least s.
600. Tom l.. Johnson is elected for a
third term as mayor by probably 1000.
The entire democratic county and leg

was polled.
Columbus, Nov. Sat II o'clock
last night the democratic leaders in
l., a1a IL, II
tison and the entire democratic ticket
by substantial pluralities, while the
republicans refused to concede such a
claim, insisting that the returns were
insufficient at that hour to indicate
anything except that the vote had
been very heavy and that the amount
of scratching had made counting very
SLOW
In the cities the republican loss ex-
ceeded 100 to the precinct, but as the
loss per precinct outside of the large
cities was so far as reported only
about 80, there was no certainty that
the loss would run high enough to
wipe out the 100000 republican plu-
rality with which comparisons were
made. Less than 800 of the 4,200 pre-
cincts had been heard from at II
o'clock
At midnight Chairman Dick gave
the following statement to the press:
THE election returns are fragmen-
tary and meager at this hour, delay
being due to the large number of can
didates and a great deal of local ticket
scratching. While it is not practicable
as yet to approximate definite figures,
indications clearly point to the re-
election of Gov. Herrick and the en-
tire republican state ticket by saae
pluralities.
AS to the legislature little in the
way of definite news has been obtain
able, the interest in the state contest
and the long delay in counting the
vote serving to suppress reports on
everything below governor.
Taking 220 precincts in Cincinnati,
40 in Columbus, 60 in Cleveland and 1G
in Toledo, the average democratic
gain is los to the precinct. In the 12O
precincts received outside of the
above cities the democratic gain is 33
to the precinct. Estimating the 1888
precincts in the above cities and the
339 precincts outside it would give a
democratic gain of 1S9,5GS, or 40,S21
votes less than the republican plural
ity in 1904.
AT / o'clock Chairman CARRIER said
that he would not give out any formal
statement at that time, but that from
the reports which had reached him he
considered the election of Pattison
and the entire democratic ticket as
sured. He said he believed that Patti
sons plurality would approximate &c.
600, the figure he had given in his pre-
election estimate. AS to the legisla-
ture he said that he counted on a
large democratic majority in both
houses.
The State Journal has estimated
pluralities from C3 out of the so coun-
ties in the state showing a net plural
ity of $50 for Herrick for governor.
The republican pluralities are 31,G70
and the democratic pluralties 30,S50.
Columbus, Nov. S.-Thirty y-fve pre-
cincts in Franklin county give Herrick
1928, Pattlson 2,754. From this it is
estimated Herrick will carry the coun-
ty by 2,22O. Black (dem.) for probate
judge will have a plurality of 1000
The legislature is in doubt. ID. C.
Badger (dem.) will be elected mayor
by 2,GO0.
Toledo, Nov. Sat 1880 a. m. the
election board had received returns
from SO out of 1913 precincts In this
city. These returns indicate that Her
rick will have 5000 plurality over Pat
tison. The returns also indicate the
election of Brand Whitlock, independ-
ent candidate for mayor by 5000 plu-
rality and the election of the entire
independent county and city tickets
by smaller pluralities.
Dayton, Nov. S.--About half of the
precincts in Montgomery county indi-
cate that it has given a democratic
plurality Of 1000. The republican
plurality last year was 1926. The city
of Dayton was carried by the demo.
Gratis by 1000, its republican plurality
last year being 1896. Snyder, demo
crat, for mayor. has 1880 plurality
Akron, Nov. S.-Pattson is conced,
