Gov. Harris and the entire Republi
can state ticket have been elected by
a decisive majority The next general
assembly will be Republican In both
branches. Indications are that the
Republican majority on joint ballot
will be 25. This insures the election
of a Republican to succeed Senator
Foraker. The Republican organiza
tion leaders say that man will be Ar
thur L. Vorys, who represented Judge
Taft in the Ohio campaign.
The returns up to / o'clock indicate
that Taft has carried the state by al
least $4,000. Gov. harris on the basis
OF the same returns is elected by ap
proximately 10000 and very probably
by larger plurality.
AS near as It can be figured the Re
publicans have lost but one congress
sional district out of all the districts
now Republican. James Cox, Demo
crat, has been elected in the Third
the result being entirely due to Re.
publican factional quarrel and the fact
that there were two Republican can.
didates
Returns so far in show that the Re.
publicans gained a congressman in the
Sixth district by the election of Jesse
Taylor over Matt II. Denver. present
Democratic member. The Republican
claim Is at least 16 members in the
next Ohio congressional delegation.
Gov. Harris ran behind Taft a little
more than 10 votes TO precinct due
to the vigorous fight made against him
by the liquor interests. He was cut
heavily in the large centers of popula
ton, but maintained safe lead at all
times by reason of uniform gains in
the country districts. In many of the
agricultural sections Gov. Harris ran
ahead OF Taft.
MISUNDERSTANDING county has
gone Republican. Meager returns re.
ceived by the board of elections up to
2 o'clock this morning indicate that
