 Cleveland, Sept. 26.-Nationa1 is-
 sues will be uppermost in deciding the election in Ohio this Fall, when a United States senator, 22 congress- men and complete state ticket will | be chosen.
 In view of the fact that this is that Senator Atlee Pomerene, of Can ton, veteran Democratic legislator has | been talked of for the Presidential race two years hence, more than usual interest attaches to the verdict which | the voters of Ohio will pass this Fall ] on two years of Republican control of all branches of the government l Senator Pomerene, who is opposed l to Congressman Simeon D. Tess, for | mer chairman of the Republican 1 Congressional campaign committee 1 and one of the leaders of the lower house, has already been stressing such issues as the tariff, the Newberry | case, with which his name is closely connected as an unsparing critic, and other alleged failures of the adminis- 1 tration at Washington.
 Ways in which, it is alleged, the 1 new Fordney- -McCumber tariff will | Increase the cost of living to the av craze person will be brought home to 1 the women of the state by the senator, 1 his headquarters have declared, and 1 a special drive will be made to get the votes of women on this basis. Bonus No Issue
 1 The bonus affords no issue between 1 the senatorial candidates, as both voted for it. Pomerene as a senator and Tess as a member of the House 1 However, the perennial wet and dry | issuse will be brought to the fore, | through the indorsement of Congress- 1 man Fess by the Anti-Saloon League. l while the association opposed to pro hibition, which claims a large mem | bership throughout the state, has in-
 dorsed Romerene. ae =le Supporters of Congressman Fess will also seek to emphasize the fact that Senator POmerene voted against l the submission of the amendn ent to | the national constitution -enfranchis- ing women. Pomerene himself states i that on this and the liquor issue te followed the vote of his state, and that since Ohio voted dry he has sup ported all needed legislation TO make
 the national amendment effective, and 1 that as a. citizen he always supported I full suffrage rights for women. l Congressman Tess, in his speeches l thus far, has proven himself a cham
 well as a strong supporter of President | Harding. He has repeatedly declared 1 that the achievements of the national legislative body are greater than ever | before accomplished by any Congress 1 in the nations history, and whole heartedly defends all things done as l well as failure to act dpon other mat l ters.
 l | the leaders are concerned, to either senatorial candidate. Pomerene's votes 1 in the Senate and Fess' votes in the
 House prove them to be ''unfriendly." :" labor leaders assert, and so far as 1 this vote can be controlled it prob ably will be cast as a protest for General Jacob S. Coxey. of Massa1lon, an independent. The general though
 feeling the weight of his years, Is still | the same impetuous leader he was when he headed "Coxeys army in it's march to Washington during the last l Cleveland administration. Another | independent caalieate for United States senator is Mrs. Virginia Green of l Cleveland, a member of the Board of Education here, who has announced that she will make her campaign prin- cipally upon the issue of 'Newberry- ism.'
 The rival candidates for governor are Colonel Carni A. Thompson, of
 Cleveland, Republican, and A. V. Don-
 ahey, of New Philadelphia, Democrat Thompson is close personal friend
 and adviser of the President, and
 served on one of the advisory commit
 teees of the armament conference in Washington. He is making his cam
 paignu as "an old-fashioned Republi-
 can" and declares that the paramount
 dutyof Ohio votess is to uphold the
 I hands of the Presid ent," in what he declares to be the most trying ano
 eventful period since the Civil War
 | Foe~of Grafters
 On the other hand Donahey, the Democratic candidate, state auditor
 for eight years, where he establish e6
 a reputation a foe of grafters vii stress state issues, probably even te
 the exclusion of national issues so fal as his campaign is concerned.
 So far as speaking is concerned, the :. campaign will be the shortest il Ohio's history. Tie campaign open ing'' of the Republicans is set for tn, first week in October and the Demo } cratic heavy artillery will not get int 7 action before that date. However
 both Senator Pomerene and Congress :, tations to deliver 'non-partican' . speeches. in which their views on pub
 lie questions are placed pretty fully
 before the voters.
