OHIO DELEGATES A
PESSIMISTIC GANG
Think That Defeat Confronts
Them if They Don't Turn
Out Democrats.
BY LOUIS LUDLOW.

SION OF the ONO rcprcse natives in
congress Not all or them have
fallen for the gloom spirit that per-
vades the delegation but it can truth
fully be said that all are looking for
breakers ahead.
When the respondent members
Unbos0m themselves I'm private con-
versation they express the view that
recent developments in Columbus
and Washington have almost crab
bed" the republican party in Ohio
for years % come. Rep Simeon ID.
Tess is the only Ohio member who
has come out openly and voiced for
publication the fears that nearly all
Of the Ohio members entertain. but
what he says for print is hardly a
patching compared with remarks
made privately by some OF the other
buckeye soious.
The honest truth is that many Of
the ohio members who are looking
ahead i'm a fore-handed way TO re-
election. are apprehensive that they
VIII be engulfed in a wave Of reac-
ton against the republican party at
the next election. Congressional
campaigns come around often and
they fear that during the next year
conditions as affecting their fortunes
are likely 20 grow worse. rather than
improve.
The troubles which confront the
Ohio members appear 10 them TO be
cumulative and growing every day
IT, the first place. they say. there is "A
world Of dissatisfaction among the
party workers because the national
administration does not turn out
democrats and put republicans in
office. With the party organization
chilled 20 the bone. who is going TO
get out and do the work necessary
10 win tho next election? is a ques-
ton the gloomy ones are asking.
In the second place, congress is
not keeping the economy pledges Of
the party and as they see it. that is
bound 20 hurt immensely among the
over burdcned taxpayers It isl
pointed ont that when the taxpayers
read that the total appropriations for
army and navy by this congress are
$4,000. 600 more than the total ap-
preparations of those branches last
years and when that fact is CON
trasted with tho republican platform |
pledges for economy the average /
taxpaying burden-bearer is likely to /
wonder whether there is any good /
faith left in politics.
Furthermore. with the break be- /
tween Gov. Davis and the state SEN /
ate intensified by the pro-roguing Of !
the general assembly. the Ohio So
Ions in washington are fearfully I
wondering whether this is the be-
ginning Of another fateful split in
the party.
Every one of them will be up fer
denomination and reelection in 1922 !
except those who may run for the /
senate-and they are apprehensive 4
lest the anu-Davis fight may result
i'm n republican debacle in Ohio SINH /
lar to that of the famous bull moose |
row nine years ago. The Ohio rep
resentatives. especially those from /.
close or normally democratic dis
tricts. fully realize that 1922 viii .
not be 1920 over AGAIN. They un-
derstand perfectly that last N0vem-
bcr they received thousands Of votes
which represented nothing more
than dissatisfaction with the Wilson
