TARIFF MAIN ISSUE

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 2.-WiEh three parties claiming victory, the national and s1a,e campaigns in OhiIo were brought to close today. Confidence exuberatedl from the head quarters of each party, and if there was any worr ment as to the out- come of the battle of Tuesdays bal lots,it wals noa vlisibly portrayed up on the faces of any of the party who issued their formal forecast late, tonight.
 "The Republican s ate and nation al ticket will receive a substantial majority and not only will President Taft be given the electoral vote, butt we will elect a governor, the major lty of the congressman and control the next Legislature" This came from Harry M. Daugherty, manager of the Taft forces.

We are only uncertain about one thing and Lhau is the size of ou, majority-it will exceed 2O0,- GOO n Ohio,' stated Caairman w. l.. Finley, of the Democratic State C3m- mb,tee.
 Colonel Roosevelt carried Ohio by the greatest plurality any candidate ever received and his voctCries of former years wifi be repeated. In this battle Theodore Roosevelt and the p(cp.c a.le ayrayed on one side and tne interests are upon the sther. The people VII w.n. We shall elect our state ticket and control the next legis. s.a,ure," sad Walter F. Brown, commanding the Progressive forces.
 The Socialists, Prohibition and, So- cialis,. Labor palties also have com plel e tickets in the field! but will hardly poll more ihan their custo- mary v-te. The Socialists howeve.. are very s.rong in the Twelfth Con- gressional district (Columbus) and may succeed in e!ecting a congress- man. They will also elect members of the legislature and a few minor officers.
 Between the Republ can and the Democratic parties, the afiff haS been the one supreme issue. The Progressive party while it advocates a modified protective tariff, has no1 been overly aggressive in that di- rec.ion but has tuIned its a isentloH ml-re to social questions relating te she general e'fare of the masses O. people. The Republicans have stead fastly declared she| allegiance to the Taft program as already enaetef and as proposed ill he event Of hi' reelection.
