PLURALITY FOR HARMON
CONTINUES IT'S GROWTH
Indications Now Point to a
Democratic Victory in Ohio
by More Than 100000.

CLEVELAND. November 10 - Gov.
plurality Of 9S.OO0 over Warren G. Hard
ing. republican candidate. according to
figures compiled from eighty-five II the
lightweight counties in Ohio. That when
the official count Is complete Harmon will
have over 100000 plurality is extremely
probable. for in Vinton, Fulton and Clin-
ton counties. which are mi ssing, Harding
is credited with the full vote given An
drew L. Harris, republican, in 1908.
Throughout the state, however, outside
Cincinnati, Harding has run far behind
Harris.
Harmon's plurality is the second largest
ever given to ain Ohio candidate for gov
ernor. The largest plurality previously
given to a democratic candidate in the
state was to John NJ. Pattison in 1906,
who won by 4O,647 votes.
Entire Ticket Elected.
In the eighty-five counties included in
the count Harmon leads by 1O1. O35 votes,
and giving Harding the full Harris vote
in the remaining three would make Har-
mons margin 97.9S3. The result for the
| remainder of the democratic, state ticket
is no longer in doubt.
Final unofficial figures on the Ohio cleo
ton show that the democrats have elect
ed fifteen out of twenty-one representa-
tives. Full reports from the nineteenth
district show that Representative w. Au-
brey Thomas, republican, was defeated
by E. r. Bathrick. democrat, by 1880
votes. In the twentieth district Repre-
sentative Paul Rowland. republican, wins
on the unofficial figures over William
Gordon, democrat, by only fifty-four
votes, and the democratic committee
claims that the official canvass will show
Gordon elected.
