Just HOW IT
HAPPENED
In Mercer County, as Told In
the Unofficial Returns
Prohibition Amendment the Only
One Of Four Approved by
Mercer County Voters.

It might have been worse, but when
we look at Auglaize and Darke Counties
and see what happened to them we feel
like offering up thanks. The way the
Republicans worked their siege guns
on these Democratic communities and
slaughtered the innocents was irightful
The Cookies and CARRIERS, feeders at the
Democratic crib since they we're big
enough to walk, turned on their party
like vultures and added to the wreck.
Their county tickets, made up of as good
timber as that of their opponents, were
sacrificed because they couldn't run the
party for their own small ends. Mercer
County Democrats did not escape en-
tirely the blighting influence of these
political traitors, for their fangs were
more less noticeable over the county,
poisoning the minds of the voters.
HWith as good a set of candidates as
were ever put forward by any party in
the State, districts and county, they got
scant consideration on that score While
no man on the Democratic ticket lacked
a majority of votes over his Republican
opponent, the majorities IN a case or two
were near the vanishing point.
The story is told in the following un-
official count of the ballots

Capitalization of the powers which,

Charles Mann and William Arnet were
arrested last Sunday morning by Mar
shall Duncan on an affidavit filed by Lige
Lynch charging them with assault with
intent to rob. Lynch claimed that he
was on his way to the home Of his broth
er, George, when the two men slipped up
behind him and knocked him down. He
asserted that they pounded him uncon-
scious and then relieved him of about
ten dollars in cash. The trial OF Mann
and Arnet was set for Monday afternoon
but as the prosecuting witnes failed to
show up they were released.

WIRES CONGRATULATIONS
Governor Cox Also Issues Statement
Relative to Defeat.


Columbus. Nov. 4.-Shortly after he
reached his ofiice Governor Cox made
public the following telegram to Mr..
Willis:
Hon. Frank, B. Willis, Ada, o.:
81 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 NJ. 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-
tion, we're 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 / 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 1t
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-
ton believed to be responsible.
"At first 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.
It has been a stormy and eventful
two years of public service, and since
our work was done, so far as legisla-
ton was concerned, give up the sta
ton without a pang.
"The reflection that we were priv
ileged to participate with the greatest
legislature in OhFOs history in the
passage Of laws that mean so much
TO human happiness and the general
welfare Of the state is sufficient
guarantee of my contentment."

FINLEYS STATEMENT
Election Result as Viewed by the
Democratic Chairman.


Democratic Chairman.
Columbus, Nov. 5.-EXplaining the
election result, Chairman w. L. Fin
ley of the Democratic committee said:
The returns in Ohio do not seem
much different from those of other
states. The sweep toward the Repub-
licans seems to be general. The Ohio
Democrats seem to be the only ones
who have put up game fight They
find their chief disappointment in
Hamilton county, which. according to
all three election estimates, should
have elected Governor Cox The vets
of Cincinnati switched to Willis at the
last minute My view of it is that
they expect that Willis 'decentrali-
zation' plan on the license proposition
will result in Cincinnati becoming a
wide open Sunday town again. The
governor has had the courage to en-
force the license law everywhere to
the letter"

Rule Amendment Adopted by a
Least 10000 Plurallty-Eehoes ot
the Election.
Columbus, Nov 5.-Brushing aside
q Democratic plurality of 10000 two
year ago, Congressman Frank B. VII
lis Of Ada led the Republican party
again to victory in Ohio. 1t was the
FIRST party victory in eleven years.
Returning Progressives recruited the
Republican ranks almost to their old
time strength. Republicans elected a
complete state ticket, a chief justice
and two justices of the supreme court
and a United States senator They
also elected 13 out Of 22 congressman.
Only one elective state office re-
mains In the hands of the Democrats.
That is the office of state auditor, in
which Donahey commands.
Republican majorities In both
branches Of the assembly are almost
equal to those of the Democrats in
the present general assembly.
Republican leaders say the Willis
plurality will be $4,000, that for Har-
ding $4,000 Chairman Jones has re-
oeived many congratulatory kilograms
from Republicans in other states.
Scores Of appointive ohicials in Ohio
soon will find themselves detached
from lucrative salaries and Republi-
cans will be appointed to draw them.
In some Of the commissions, how
ever, the long term members are DEM
ocrats who exercise control and
whose term will not expire during the
Willis incumbency. If any offices are
abolished they undoubtedly will be re-
created under a different system and
filed by Republicans.
One Of the biggest surprises was
the election of ]. r. Russell in the
Fourth district over NJ. w. Cunning
ham. This district has sent Demo
crat to congress for so long that no
one attempts to remember when
Republican represented the district.
Another congressional surprise was
the defeat of T. T. Ansberry by Mel
son e. Matthews in the Fifth, which
two years ago gave Ansberry q plu-
rality of 5000. The Republican state
organization helped to wage the fight
against Ansberry. The election OF
Edward Ricketts,, Republican, over
Congressman Claypool in Eleventh
also was numbered among the sur
prises. The regaining of his seat by
Nicholas Longworth in the First from
Stanley Bowdle also contributed to
Republican rejoicing
Complete returns from II counties
indicate that the home rule amend
ment has carried by 10000. These II
counties give the amendment ma
jority Of 52.346. The IT counties still
to report are all small ones and are
expected to give adverse majorities
that will bring the total down to about
10000.
Statewide prohibition suffered a
crushing defeat. The majority against
it probably will reach close to 1907
900. The equal suffrage amendment
met a similar or worse fate, and the
taxation amendent was slaughtered
on an sides. 1t probably has been
defeated by more than 100000.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES
OWNERSHIP

The Ohio City Progress has again
changed hands, F. A. Rice becoming its
editor and publisher. The Progress has
had many ups and downs, but now seems
to be headed in the right direction. The
Democrat hopes its sphere of influence
may continue to broaden and that its
new publisher will be given proper finan-
cial support, for without it all his efforts
must result in failure. Boost the Prog
ress If you want to boost your town.

RETAIN THEIR GRIP
Democrats Have Majorities In Both

Houses Of Congress.
New York. Nov --latest returns
available from the country at large
indicated that the Democrats still oon-
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 1t
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 Progressiyes claim to have
at last broken into the Democratic
solid south" declaring that they
have elected w. p Martin over Henri
L. GueydaA In the Third louisiana
