LOEGWORTH SAVES HIS SEAT
Taft Runs Second in the Buckeye
STATE, Easily Defeating ROOse-
VaIt-- Some Bitter Contests

Columbus. O., Nov. 6-The Wilson
laEdslide in Ohio has carried to vic
tory the complete Democratic state
ticket and has given Democrats con-
troll Of the assembly and 1S out of p
congressman.
Taft runs second in Ohio He east.
Iy defeated Roosevelt in the southern
Fart of the state and in the northern
part Roosevelt's predicted pluralities
failed to materialize. In fact, he was
beaten by Wilson in the northern part
by about the same margin as Taft
was in the southern. By showing u.
in second place, the Republicans in
Ohio retain their position as one OF
representation in boards of election
and the Ike.
Ohio save her electoral vote to \
Democrat for the first time since the
war and the Democrats elected a
complete state ticket for the second
time in history. Throughout the state
the Wilson and Cox landslide carried
Democratic candidates into county Of
fees.
For governor, General r. b. Brown
of GAINESVILLE, Republican, probably
leads Arthur l.. Garford, Progressive
candidate. BY that accomplishment
the Republican party preserved its
place as one of the major parties in
Ohio and retains right to membership
on boards of elections and to other
patronage.
Wilson polled practically the full
Democratic vote, receiving more than
the Bryan vote of 1908. With the eX-
ception of Hamilton, he carried all the
large counties. His estimated plural
ity in Cuyahoga is 1000, in Montgom-
cry 1000, in Franklin 5000 to 1000,
and he carried Lucas by a slight plu-
rality.
Cox a Sprinter.
Cox, who ran ahead of Wilson al
most everywhere made his biggest
lead in his home county, Montgomery,
which County Chairman L. w. Hanley
claimed had given Cox 10000.
The Socialists made some gains.
Fragmentary reports indicated Debs,
for president, and Ruthenberg, for
governor, have each more than $4,000
votes.
State Chairman William L. Finley
said: Wilson has carried Ohio by
more than 100000 and Coxs plural
ity exceeds Wilson's. The remain
der of the Democratic ticket s elect
ed by pluralities equaling or exceed
ing Wilson's.
Wilson, Cox and the Democratic
state ticket probably have carried
five-sixths Of the counties.
Wilson is estimated to have carried
such strong Republican counties as
Portage by 1000. Stark by 250O, Nj
ami by 1900, Logan by 400, Hancock
by 400, ChanGaign by 1000, Scioto BY
1C0, Belmont by 100, Union by 400.
Fate of Congressman.
Partial returns indicate the electior
of only four Republican congressman
Nicholas Longworth is reelected in
the First district. In the Second dis
trict Allen Dem, probably is defeated
by Otto ]. Renner, Rep. In the Sixth
district the election of S. D. Fess,
Dem, is claimed over Hampstead,
Dem. In the Sixteenth district Cen
eral David A. Hollingsworth, Rep, is
leading Congressman Francis, Dem.
In the Eighth w. w. Durbin, Dem,
| has carried Logan, Champaign and
| Hardin counties and probably has de-
feated Congressman Frank B. Willis.
In the Fourteenth Congressman
William G. Sharp, Dem,, has been re-
elected by 6000
Indications are that Clement L.
/ Drumbugh, Democratic candidate for
congress from the Twelfth district, is
| elected over Congressman E. L. Tay-
lor, jr., by 1000 to 5000 plurality
After reports showed the tremend-
Gus vote for Governor Wilson in New
| York. Chairman H. NJ. Daugherty OF
the Ohio Republican committees said {;
"If the Democrats have not elected
their president this year, whom the
Republican party has been ripped
vide open all over the land, some
member of the party ought to apply
for the appointment of a receiver for
the party and wind up its affairs"
Nicholas Longworth, Colonel Roose'
velt's son-in-law, was reelected to
congress.
