Although President Wilson has had and

FORD AND ROOSEVELT FAIL
TO CUT FIGURE IN OHIO VOTE
Colonel Shows Least Strength-Ger-
man Sections Cut Wilson

co1trMBIJS. o., April 26. - Only the
members of the political organizations
went to the polls yesterday according to
the scattered returns from all parts OF the
state. They voted for Theodore E. Bur
ton as the favorite son OF the Republicans
and gave the Democratic vote to President
Wilson.
President Wilson didn't get all the
Democratic votes, however. In German
districts In some OF the larger cities Mr.
Wilson'S name was scratched from the
ticket In many cases the scratching
voters failed to write in other names.
An ATTEMPT to form State organiza-
tIon to write In the name of Henry Ford
both as Democratic and Republican can
didate for President came to little. Ford
may average n vote or two to the pre-
cinct and may have 5000 in the state.
Ford was the choice Of a combination OF
single takers and extreme pa2fsts. They
endeavored to promote his candidacy ny
the endless chan-letter pla...
While the vote Of Ford was small, the
wrltten-in vote for Colonel Roosevelt was
even smaller The Ford and Roosevelt
vote In many districts was ignored by the
election officials. acting on advice from
the Secretary of State.
Vice President Marshall was voted the
ChOiCe or ONO democrats lot TeHOinlIla-
tion by majority OF four or five to one
over Frank S. Monnett, ex-Attorney Gem

large and made creditable showing.
The Democratic delegntes-at-large will
be ex-Governors Judson Harmon, James
r. Campbell and James NJ Cox and Sena-
tor Atlee Pomerene. OF the four, Cox Is
running ahead and Pomerene last. The
vote ia held to indicate that Cox will be
nominated by the Democrats for Gov
