signed statement which was given out
at Republican state headquarters
here. The statement says:
THE latest returns show that the
Republican ticket has won by a COM
Portable plurality. So far as the state
affairs are concerned, this pronounced
express of the popular will indicates
that the people of Ohio. without re-
gard to parry lines, are determined
that the boss rule shall forever
cease. The fight was between the
people and the machine. and the peo-
pie won because their cause was just.
Gratifying as is the endorsement
of Republican principles, the victory
won is not merely partisan success.
This is the peoples emancipation. Re-
publicans have been aided in the
struggle by a host Of patriotic, inde-
pendent, Embossed voters of other po-
litical parties who have placed the de-
votion of principle and the welfare of
Ohio above allegiance to self-designat-
ed leaders and dictstors.
THE people have Issued a positive
mandate for economy in the manage
ment of state affairs; the creation of
fewer Offices and commissions, the de-
Capitalization of the powers which,
under the present administration,
have been concentrated in the hands
| of the executive. and the destruction
of the vast political machine which
has threatened to Tammanyize Ohio.
Every mandate of the people should
| be promptly carried into legislation
| and without favoritism.
'The election of Warren G. Hard
| ing to the United States senate and
of the increased number of Republi-
can members of congress is the peo-
pies response to Senator Hardings
| ringing slogan, Prosper America
First ! take this opportunity to
thank sincerely all the mighty host
| Of good friends who by their vote and
influence have made Republican sue
cess possible"

RETAIN THEIR GRIP
Democrats Have Majoritles In Both
Houses of Congress.

New York, Nov. --latest returns
available from the country at large
indicated that the Democrats still con-
troll congress.
They have gained at least one Unit
ed States senator, and, in the house,
while their majority dwindled down
to small wedge, it was believed to
be certain that they would have a
majority of about 20.
The Republicans, however, declined
to concede this and inasmuch as the
count in the west was very slow it
was unlikely that complete correct
figures would be available for some
time.
The Socialists claim the election of
three members. Victor Berger and w.
r. Gaylord in Wisconsin, and Meyer
London in the Twelfth New York dis
trict. The Progressives claim to have
at last broken into the Democratic
solid SOUTH" declaring that they
lave elected w, p Martin over Henri
L. Gueydan in the Third Louisiana
district.

SUFFRAGE SET BACK
Six States Refuse Franchise to Mem
hers of Fair cex

SIX states Refuse franchise to Mem
bers of Fair Sex.
Chicago, Nov. 4.-Woman suffrage
suffered a setback in the election ON
Tuesday, six states voting against the
granting of the franchise to women
and woman candidates undergoing de-
feat at the polls. In Illinois, where
women gained the right to vote for all
statutory offices only recently, the
number of votes cast by that sex fell
off greatly.
Ohio. Missouri, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska and Nevada voted
against granting votes to women.
Lively campaigns had been made in
all of these states by advocates of
women suffrage.
Prohibition was defeated in four
states, with both sides claiming VIC
tory in the fifth. California and WASH
ington voted strongly against the
ousting of saloons and alcoholic man
ufacture. Arizona also decided to re-
main wet. Colorn o, the other west
ern state voting N the subject, is
claimed by beth the Anti-Salp1n
league and thoac who favor saloons.

Sherman Is Safe.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-With eleven coun-
try precincts to hear from, the plural
ity of Uncle Joe" Cannon for con-
gress in the Danville district has
dwindled from an estimate of 1900
to about 1000 Lawrence Y. Sher-
man. Republican, was returned to the
United States senate by about $4,000

Pennsylvania.

y Philadelphia, Nova Boise Penrose
has been elected to the United States
senate by plurality approaching
100000. DR.. Martin Brumbaugh, Re-
publican candidate for governor, was
elected by more than 125,00O majority
and the entire Republican state ticket
was swept into office in the election,
according to latest returns from all
parts of Pennsylvania. This estimate
is based upon the heavy Republican
vote polled in Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh and the sweep of the. Republi-
can column of such Democratic strong
holds as Lehigh and Lycoming coun-
ties.

LEGISLATURE REPUBLICAN
Political Complexion of Both Houses
Undereoes Radical Change.

Columbus, Nov. 4.-The next Ohio
legislature is safely Republican. Es-
Inmates, based on unofficial returns,
gave the Republican 73 members Of
the house and the Democ.S.s As; in
the senate, Republicans 10, Demo
Gratis IA.
While the Republicans swept Ham
ilton county and captured the entire
legislative ticket. the Democrats cap
tured the entire legislative tickets in
Cuyahoga, Franklin, Lucas and Mont
gomery counties. These four coun-
ties alone will furnish 26 Democratic
representative out of the Democratic
total of As in the house,
In addition the Republicans carried
numerous rural counties that had sent
Democrats to the house in the Wilson
landslide of 1912.

WIRES CONGRATULATIONS
Governor Cox Also Issues Statement
Relative to Defeat.

Columbus. Nov. 4.-Shortly after he
reached his office Governor Cox made
public the following telegram to Mr..
Willis:
"Hon. Frank B. Willis, Ada, o.:
II congratulate you upon your
selection to assume the executive
affairs of the greatest common
wealth and the most splendid peo-
pie in the world.
JAMES M. cox"
The governor also issued a state
ment in which he intimated that the
laws passed during his administration
had not had sufficient time in which
to prove themselves and that in con-
sequence he, with most of the men
who were instrumental in their adop-
ton, were passing from public life.
The statement read:
"a year ago my friends reminded
me that in the history of political af-
fairs no reform administration ever
succeeded itself, but l believed our
new laws would be in operation long
enough to establish a precedent in
that respect
"Those who are satisfied with a
created new order of things accept it
as a matter of course, and most of
them divide on political lines, while
those who lose unholy privilege make
a frenzied warfare on the administra-
tion believed to be responsible.
"At fiSt blush the new laws would
appear to be condemned by public ex-
preston, yet if the issue had been
clearly their repeal or retention. the
result would have been far different.
1t has been stonny and eventful
two years of public service, and since
our work was done, so far as legisla'
tion was concerned, give up-the sta
ton without pang.
"The reflection that we were priv
ileged to participate with the greatest
legislature in Ohio's history in the
passage Of laws that mean so much
to human happiness and the general
welfare OF the state is a sufficient
guarantee cf NV contentment,"

Mr.. Hunter for Lieutenant Governor.
Representative J. Aquilla Hunter
authorizes the definite announcement
of his candidacy for ieutenant-gov-
ernor in the primary this summer.
Mr.. Hunter has been spoken of for
some time as a possibility for this
office, but did not commit himself
until he received much encourag-
ment and assurances of support from
friends all over the State. Mr.. Hun
ter is now representing Bamberg
county in the house of representa-
tives and has taken quite promi-
nent part in the doings of the legis-
lature. He is widely known and has
numerous strong and influential
friends in different sections of the
State, all of whom assure him he has
excellent possibilities in the primary
this summer. So fe there is no 9TH
er positive announcements for this
office, though several others are said
to be considering entering the race.
Mr.. Hunters friends in Bamberg
county, while regretting to see him de-
part from the house of representa-
tives, wish him victory this summer.
