Columbus Ohio, Nov. 5.--A clean sweep
for the Democratic ticket, state and ma
tional, Is indicated by early returns In
Ohio. What the Democratic plurality Will
be cannot now be stated, but II may be
conservatvely estimated that Wilson Will
carry the state and that Representative
Cox. candidate for Governor, will carry
the state by at least $1,000
There is little doubt that the other
Democratic state candidates will be re-
elected by pluralities ranging from 2o'"o
upward
Because of his partisan ruling pro-
hibting the names Of candidates or one
party appearing on the ticket of another
Secretary Of State Graves has been eX-
tenslyey scratched and probably VIII be
low man.
There can be no doubt that the third
party has accomplished its purpose and
wrecked the chances Of the Republican
state However, 1t appears certain that
Roosevelt and Garford will run poor
third, and that President Taft and Gen
eraI Brown will not run bad seconds.

Vote Less than 1908.
Try Telegraph to The Tribune

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 5.-Returns from
about one-third of the precincts IN the
state indicate that the Democrats nave
carried the state by a plurality that may
reach 100000. The combined Republican
and Progressive vote is greater than 'ha'
OF the Democrats. but the total vote
shows a falling off when compared with
that Of 1908.
The candidates for state offices are run
ming slightly behind the candidates LOT
President, but the Democratic ticket
headed by Ralston for Governor Is eject
ed. The delegation in Congress VIII De
soldly Democratic, and that party VIII
have majorities in both branches OF the
Legislature.
A careful analysis Of the returns SHOWS
that Wilson has profited by Republican
fear Of Roosevelt, while the Bull Moose
vote is greatly augmented by Democratic
suffrage especially in heretofore strongly
Republican counties, such as Marion,
Wayne and Vigo.
The Republicans concede that Wilson
has won the state by larger plurality
than Roosevelt received in 1904, when the
Republican plurality was $4,000. Interest
now centers only in the vote for Taft and
Roosevelt. The regulars hope that COM
plete returns, including those from the
rural counties, will show that Taft has
larger vote than Roosevelt, but this is by
no means certain. Roosevelt appears 10
lead Taft In the cities. while In the coun-
try districts the vote for them was about
even. Roosevelt ran second TO Wilson
in Marion County, which includes In
dianapolis. Taft carried the county by a
slight margin in 1908.
Marion County for Governor gave:
Durbin (RepD, 2l,jS6; Ralston tDem)'

ing returns from the state.

proposition. 1t was proposed that II
mr.. Johnson would recommend to the
committee to meet the
Regular committee in joint sssion to
&scttle their differences, the independ-
FONTS would be allowed to absolutely
=eelect the seventh member of the pri-
mary board. Mr. Johnson stood pat
&Dn his original position that there had
been no agreement between the two
ocmmittees. He insisted that the
minds of the two committees had new
3er met and that it was agreed in the
independent committee that the en-
tire agreement should be committed
to writing and again submitted TO the
Two committees for ratification. He
Brefused to in any way, so far as he
WAS concerned, recognize the exist
%ence Of any agreement between the
2xwo committees. All harmony pros
Fpects seem to be off.
