Washington. Oct. 22.-The admins
tration has been called upon to send
its shock troops to Ohio. Things po-
I~ltically do not appear to be going right
in the presidents home state, and as
the slogan of the campaign there has
been, Stand by the President, the
republicans have determined to rush in
all the reinforcements possible. For
word from inside sources has come
to the effect that just at this moment
the battle is an uphill fight.
The friends of the president say
that republican managers in the state
have got a fright something akin to
the alarm which spread through the
ranks of the G. 0. p. about 10 days
before the presidential election in 1920.
The absurdity of the 1920 fright, the
optimists say, was determined by the
seven million majority rolled up for
Harding on election day. The demo
Gratis are painting a different picture
of the situation in the Buckeye state.
Having heard the Macedonian cry,
the administration is responding with
all good will. Every member of the
cabinet gifted as q spellbinder either

under orders for immediate action
when needed. There are 10 members
Of the presidents official family, not
counting Vice President Coolidge, who
makes eleven. Nine of the eleven are
due for service stripes in the Ohio
campaign. Possibly there will be ten,
eventually on the firing line, leaving
only Secretary Mellon out of the
| trenches. Mr.. Mellon is a fine finan-
. cier. but he admits he is no stump
speaker.
Five on Firing Line
Tp to this time five members Of
the presidents cabinet have be en- on
the stump in Ohio in behalf Of Simon
d. Tess for United States senator
from Ohio; Carmi Thompson, the
presidents particular friend, for gov
ernor and the % republican nominees
for congress-.
These five are Attorney General
and Secretaries Hoover, Wallace and
Davis. Secretary of State Hughes
and Vice President Coolidge are the
big guns about to be rushed into the
presidents state. There are the secre-
taries of navy and war, Messrs. Den
by and Weeks, too. all ordered up for
active service. This leaves only Sec
rotary Mellon and Secretary Fall out
of the picture and it is said the latter
may get into the fight before the ar
mistice of the ballots on e~lectio4 day
Young Colonel Roosevelt, secretary
of the navy and already a seasoned
tcampaigned along the lines laid down
by his distinguished father, also is
in the Ohio fight. tooth and toe nail.
Nor does this count all of the for
midable array to be sent from Wash
ington. Half a dozen senators are on
the books to tell the voters OF Ohio
why they should stand by the presi-
dent. Senators Mccormick of Hi
nois; Canper of Kansas; Pepper and
Reed Of Pennsylvania: Sterling Of
South Dakota, and Edge of New Jer-
sey, are on the list.
Staging "Grand Assault"
Walter f. Brown of Toledo, former
