Senatorial Fight Starts.

Albany, N. u, Nov. SIN con-
nection with the choice OF successor
to United States Senator Thomas c.
Platt. whose term will expire March
4, two names not hitherto much dis
cussed in this regard came to the
front today, and were received
with interest. That of Secretary OF
State Root was most discussed, for
the reason that he was mentioned in
dispatch from Washington today as
having the support of President
Roosevelt. The other is that OF
Whitelaw Reed. ambassador to Great
Britain, and for long time editor Of
the New York Tribune.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff,
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee. ex-Gov. Frank S. Black, and
Congressman ]. Sloan Fassett are the
others most frequently mentioned in
this connection. Mr.. Woodruff, chair
man of the state republican commit
tee, has never made amy secret of his
Interest in the senatorship, and Mr..
Fassett also has been regarded as a
more than receptive candidate. But
Governor Black has always told his
friends that since his first experience
as candidate for senator in 1905, he
has had no interest in the matter. and
they believe, if it comes up as a prac-
tical question, he will indicate his in.
tenton to have no part in the cam
paign.

Denver, Nov. 5.-Party headquar-
ters and newspapers have practically
quit compiling the returns of Tues
days election, and will depend upon
the county canvass, which must be
made within 10 days after election
dav, for the exact figures on the re-
suits. Bryan's plurality in the state
will be in the neighborhood of $500
while Shafroth, democrat, for gov
ernor, will exceed this by approx
matelv 1000 All OF the other demo
cratic candidate for state offices are
running close with Shaffroth, except
Musser and Waite, supreme court
justices. Both are running consider
ably ahead of their ticket Late re-
turns indicate a larger democratic ma,
jority in the Legislature than first es-
timated. The democrats are now
claiming that they will have rs Oh,

Ohio's Vote.

Cincinnati Nov. 5.-At Tuesdays
election Ohio polled vote that sur
passes the million ballots deposited
four years ago, making a new high
record for Ohio voters. Enough was
known early Tuesday night to make
1T evident that the republicans had
given a heavy vote for Taft, and tina,
Harmon, democrat, had won out for
governor, but exact figures were slow
in coming in. The immense ballot,
which had compelled the making OF
special boxes, and in some instances
new booths, was in part responsible
for this slowness, but the large num-
Der Of Taft-Harmon votes caused
much of the difficulty.
Taft carried Ohio by probably over
900, while Harmon won by about
10000. Such figures as have been re-
ceived on minor candidates, although
meager, indicate the probable victory
OF ali other republicans on the state
ticket.
The republicans are also believed to
have carried the legislature, but there
also exact figures are lacking.
1t is reasonably sure that the three
Institutional amendments have fail
ed, because they did not in the ag
gregate reach anywhere near the re-
quired majority of all votes cast a,
this election, lack of interest thus
having cost the state considerable
money without any return in the Way
of settling the amendments. 1t will
probably be the last Of the week be-
fore it can be shown with exactness
ust which minor state candidates have
been elected.
