OHIO DEMOCRATs CONFIDENT.

BY The United Press.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 5.-Demo-
cratic claims of carrying Ohio for
Wilson and Marshall we're not altered
in any way today.
Our national ticket will receive
more votes than Taft and Roosevelt
put together" was Democratic State
Chairman Finley's parting prediction
before he went home to Kenton to
vote. "The entire Democratic state
ticket will also be elected by unpre-
cedented pluralities." he added.
The interesting feature of the sit
uation was the bitter fight between
the Republicans and Progressives,
apparently for second place. Much
money was offered by supporters OF
Colonel Roosevelt that he would de-
feat Taft in Ohio and it was quickly
taken by Taft followers.
Two years ago, the Socialists poll
ed $4,000 votes in Ohio. This year
they are claiming 125.000. The Pro
hibitionists. who polled less thai
5000 in 1910, are claiming at leas
1000 now. There we're many bet
that Arthur l.. Garford, Progressive
nominee for governor, would pol
more votes than General r. b. Brown
! the Republican nominee, but theri
was no Brown money in sight Tn

J was thrown to Garford and this caus
I ed many Republicans to vote for Tai
and Garford.
