save the Fifth district where they insist
J. M. Parsons has won by small ma
jority.
All the returns are not yet in from

Returns from not more than score
OF the counties and about half OF the
cities OF the state indicate the defeat o.

Columbus, O., Nov. 9.--The entir'
democratic state ticket, headed by Gov
ernor Judson Harmon, stands elected
today as the result of democratic
landslide, which put Ohio, Taft's owl
state, in the first rank in the progress
sive movement against the Taft admin
;.tration and standpstism.
The state legislature appears to. be
safely democratic, which means that
democratic will be elected to succeed
Senator Dick. The democrats also ap'
parently carried the congressional del
egation, getting from II to IA OF the q
representatives.
Political observers say progressive
republicans did it. In every nook and
corner OF the state, they voted with the
democrats TO put. out OF power stand

enough orthodox democrats in the state
to do it unaided.
