OUTCOME IN OHIO
 STILL IN DOUBT
Registration Indicates a Remarkably Heavy Vote With Possible
 Landslide.

Columbus o. November 6.-On the eve of the election Ohio voters were still un- certain over their outcome although the intensity of the campaigning and the large registration indicated a remarkably heavy vote and a possible landslide.
 Successors to the republican incumbents as governor, lieutenant governor, attor- ney general, state treasurer, justice of the supreme court and member of the board of public works are to be chosen and also members of both houses of the legislature and officials of the leading cities. The campaign against the re-elec- tion of Governor Herrick began months before his renomination and has been carried on so vigorously by the anti saloon league that many Sunday night sermons became political addresses, the speaking campaign not being ended when the party organization meetings closed Saturday night That there defections from Herrick, the republican managers admit but they claim that enough new adherents have been secured to almost balance the loss.
 Two years ago Myron T. Herrick was elected over Tom l.. Johnson by a plu- rality of 113,S12 and the republican vote boiled last year went much higher, the plurality for President Roosevelt being
  had 23O 439 plurality. The full registration figures this year are unknown but in nearly all sections of the state there was a pronounced gain over the registration of two years ago and very little short of the big figures of the presidential year Comparisons, however. will have to be made with last years vote for secretary of state numerous changes of precinct boundaries preventing comparisons with Herricks vote of two years ago
 The officials chosen will probably serve for three years instead of two as here tofore, pending constitutional amend ment for biennial elections seeming as- sured of adoption.
 The Standard-Bearers.
 Tomorrow's standard bearers are Gov Myron T. Herrick, republican, whose campaign for reelection Is contested by John M. Pattison. democrat, who has been endorsed by the anti-saloon league, although the prohibitionists have an inde- pendent ticket.
 The fight has been over the 'Brannock law providing local option in residence districts certain amendments made by the advice of the governor being criti- cized by his opponents who accused him of improperly using his office and au- thority to secure such changes. "Bossism' was also a prevalent campaign cry and in Cincinnati especially was considered as having considerably affected the sit uation the criticism of the Cincinnat Ii leader by his party associate, Secretary Taft. apparently having great weight. Old political prophets are awaiting the weather report anxiously. some of them expressing belief that rain in the coun- try districts would this time inure to the ] benefit of Governor Herrick
 | Claims by Senator Dick of ss00O pIu- rality for Herrick and by Democratic 1 Chairman Garber of 36.O00 for Pattison still stand tonight as the preliminary skirmlshing ends and the long battle lines prepare for the contest of the morrow

In all Owens talk with Mcclure
in the confidential days there was
a strong undertone that Indian Ter
ritory was not ready for statehood,
and that it would not be for.
twenty years. II challenge any
body said man who knows
Owen, to point out anything that
does not show his hostility, not
only to joint statehood but to any
kind of statehood changing corr

true that he has done things that

PROHIBITION
NOT BELIEVED THAT CONGRESS
WILL PLACE PROHIBITION CLAUSE
IN THE STATEHOOD BILL
POSITION OF THE BREWERS
Is Remarkable. Willing to Cut Out
Strictly Alcoholic Drinks.

Washington, d. O., Aug. IS
Prohibition in an usual form will
be before congress when the state
ho P bill is taken tip for passage at
the coming session, and it is not
improbable that views of President
Roosevelt on this question will be
submitted in the shape of recon-
mendations.
AT the last session of congress
petitions were received asking that
prohibition should be the continued
policy in the Indian Territory after
the Inauguration Of statehood, and
Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire made speech in the senate
favoring that policy. Prohibition
bureaus il Washington and else
where have franked out thousands
of copies of this speech through the
West and are doing ali they can
to stir up sentiment in favor of re-
quiring prohibition in the territory
after statehood has been establish
ed.
Among senators and representa-
tives who have given thought to
the subject it is stated that it is
improbable that congress viii make
any such requirement as prohibition
before consenting to statehood for
the Indian Territory along with
Oklahoma. The prohibitionists, ii
is understood, are going 70 far as
TO ask President Roosevelt to rec
ommend prohibition in his coming
message.
The position taken by Senator
Gallinger in his speech was that
The United States had recognized
for more than seventy years the
necessity for keeping whiskey away
! from the Indians of the Territory,
and that in all the treaties made
with the different tribes clauses

mote friendly feelings and harmo-
ny that should exist among such
bodies. Several Of the orders have
already decided to participate in it.
According to the contemplated
plans, the picnic is to be held not
later than Sept, u and will doubt
less take place in a grove near
Bradley OF Alex. An invitation
has been extended to all secret or
ders in the town and community
to participate in it.

were inserted prohibiting the sale
or giving away of whisky among
the Indians. On that point the
President may be in agreement,
but the question is brought up as
to how congress could possibly ad-
init new territory to statehood
by prescribing in advance what its
constitution should or shonld not
contain. The only way prohibition
could be provided for in the state
hood bill, it is claimed, would be
in provision requiring the new
state to insert such a provision in
its constitution. Nearly every
lawyer in congress has pronounced
this unconstitutional, and that
alone would prevent the passage Of
the bill, it is urged.
Representatives of the brewing
interests have been watching the
situati IN, and take an extraordi-
nary position Oh the subject.
While there has been no official
vote in their organizations, it is
stated that a great many inhuen-
tial brewers would make no oppo-
sition to congress providing for
prohibition in the Indian Territory
OF strictly alcoholic drinks that
is, drinks containing alcohol above
a certain percentage.
A. Z. Faust of ST. Louis, second
vice president Of one of the great
est brewery plants in the United
States, made the following state
ment as to this most interesting
view of many brewers.
Every brewer IN this country
would like to forward the cause of
temperance, and those engaged in
our business stand ready to give
their moral and financial aid to all
laws that sincerely tend to temp
erance. In this proposition, as to
the Indian Territory l would not
be surprised to know that if the
question could be submitted
straight to President Roosevelt and
congress they would favor, if they
favored prohibition atall, the shut
ting out of whisky and all drinks
strong with alcohol and the ad-
mission of beer aud the lighter
drinks, ever among the indians.

MEN OPPOSE

THEY ARE UNITED IN FAVOR OF

MR.. OWEN is NOT SINCERE.
In His Advocacy Of the Separate State
Plan. His Record.

Delegate B. S. Mcclure is re-
ceiving many letters from business
men and politicians in Indian Ter
ritory declaring their hostility to
the separate statehood convention
to be held in Muskogee under the
leadership Of Robert T. Owen and
others interested in tribal schemes.
Delegate McGuire's correspondents
assure him that regardless Of all
claims to the contrary the business
interests Of Indian Territory favor
Joint statehood. They say the
joint statehood men in Indian Ter
ritory will send strong delegation
to Washington next winter to aid
him in his battle for one big state
In many Of the letters received
by Delegate Mcclure, Robert l..
Owen is accused Of insincerity in
his separate statehood fight. These
men insist that Owen and his follow
ers are opposed 70 any kind Of
statehood for Indian Territory.
Their private interests are best
conserved BY Indian Territory re-
naming in its present condition.
They point to Ovens record as a
tribal lobbyist in Washington and
his friendship for certain corpor-
ations opposed 10 the enactment Of
any law that will compel them TO
pay taxes in Indian Territory
