The New York governor, however, was still in front by 58.398 votes as tabulation of the Buckeye state's 9306 polling places reached the halfway mark. Returns from 4585 places gave: Dewey 799,167, Roosevelt 740,769. The Republicans were leading, too, for U. S. senator, but both aspirants for governor were engaged in a see-saw contest.

The Buckeye state, which contributed the Republican candidate for vice president in Gov. Bricker, favored his presidential running mate in the first tabulations, and Dewey clung to the lead. Sen. Taft, seeking a second six-year term, was running ahead of Democrat William G. Pickrel, Dayton attorney.
