OHIO A PUZZLE
TO BOTH SIDES
Attitude of the Happy
Farmers Biggest
Conundrum
BY S. II. EVANS.

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 2s.-When the
stomach of hunting dog is full OF
food he isn't so keen after the birds
When he has been overfed for several
months to the point of growing fat and
sleek he may do for a household peI
but what good is he in the field!
The farmers of Ohio have been lay
ing on fat, figuratively speaking, Tor so
long now that they are lazy. Ihey
never were so prosperous and con-
tented, and il is their attitude, more
than anything else. which has termed,
nearly paralyzed, the managers OF the
Republican campaign. The farmers
and small town folk cast SO per cent OF
Ohio's million votes. When they all
vote it generally means walkover for
the G.. o. P. When they fail to show
interest the Republican political man.
ager gets a chill.
As a matter of plain fact, nobody
knows how the farmer of Ohio is gong
to vote or how many Of him will stay
away from the polls on Election Day.
Both party managers have made spe-
cial efforts 10 learn. The facts re-
ported to each side have been conflict
ing and susceptible of various inter-
pretations. II is much more because of
what they don't know, apparently, than
because Of any positive bad news that
the Republican managers are scared.
Polls Are Contradictory
Never before. so the veterans Of both
sides say this year, has the farmer vote
of Ohio been so Sphinklike. Many of
the newspaper polls that have been
taken in the rural districts are con-
Trajectory. According to one Demo
cratic in sympathy Wilson will carry
Ohio by 100000, and at the same time
Herrick will be elected United States
Senator, an obvious impossibility.
The hard chill which descended upon
the Republican managers here about
two weeks ago has largely passed away.
The nervousness peculiar to new and
management Of any big
enterprise is disappearing. That youth
and inexperience which are the attrib-
utes of the Ohio managers of this cam

'REAM MUST TAKE
ACTRESS-WIFE
Supreme Court Sets Aside
Annulment-ScOreS Son
of Capitalist

Amsterdam, n. Y, Oct. 2s.-The
marriage of Louis Marshall Ream, son
of the late Norman B. Ream, the CAPT
talist, and Eleanor Pendleton David
son, former actress, was held legal
and binding by Supreme Court JUS
tice Henry V. Borst to-day. The de-
cision sets aside the annulment of the
marriage, which, it was commended. re-
suited from a misrepresentation of
facts that led the actress to believe it
was illegal.
The case has attracted a great deal
of attention, as both the parties TO it
were well known. Ream inherited a
sixth of the 100000 estate of his
father when the latter died. Miss
Davidson received about $4,000 by way
of settlement and surrendered her mar
riage certificate after her husband had
won the suit for annulment.
In delivering his decision Justice
Borst severely arraigned Ream for his
conduct. To allow the judgment to
stand the justice declared, would make
the court party to the immortality of
the defendant.
IF the defendant intended in good
faith to marry the plaintiff" said the
justice, "he should have abided by the
ceremony of marriage. If he did not
intend to marry her. then his conduct
is most reprehensible, and he has
been guilty not only of great wrong
against the plaintiff, but also of an
imposition of the meanest character
upon his friends to whose homes he
took the plaintiff and introduced her
as his wife"
Touching upon the jurisdiction of
the court, q point raised by counsel,
the decision says:
Except in cases of lunacy or fraud,
decided prior to the revised statutes,
there is no reported case where the
courts of this state have assumed to
! determine the validity of marriage in
action brought solely for that purpose
other than those provided for in and
since the revised statutes"
On March II last Miss Davidson
commenced action against Ream con-
testing the validity of the annulment.
She contended that she had consented
to the annulment upon the representa-
ton of attorneys for her husband that
the justice of the peace who performed
the marriage ceremony in Hoboken on
September |, 1911, was acting without
authority. She later learned, she
claimed, that her marriage was legal.

RUSSIA EXPLAINS PROTEST

Railway Builders Violates Treaty

Petrograd, Friday, Oct. 81 (via Lon
don, Octl2S) .-Russia's protest to China
against the concession to the Stems
Carey Company, of st. Paul, for an ex-
tension of the Kslgan Railway, which
would run through territory north of
the Chinese Wall, must be understood
as explained by the Russian Foreign
Office, as directed exclusively against
the action of the Picking government.
The action. according to the Russian
government, is a violation of the treaty
of 1899. in which the Chinese govern
ment agreed not TO give the subjects of
foreign powers other than Russia rail-
way concessions in the region north OF
the wall.
With the exception of this particular
region, Russia, it is declared, would
welcome the participation OF American
orpital. together with Russian, English,
French and Japanese capital. in Chi
ncse railway construction, and has
already viewed with eomplacency for
mer concessions, not in violation OF
Russo-Chinese treaty, to American in
