FIGHT
 BEING WACED
 STATEOF OHIO

CLEVELAND, Nov. 6. -- "Straws,' says the old proverb, show the way the wind blows" and if the proverb holds good as to straw votes the po- litical contest in Ohio, which culmi- mates in the election tomorrow, has been hard fought, with the ultimate decision known only when the vote from the last outlying precinct has been counted.
 Straw votes are being taken by leading newspapers in the State on the race of Senator Atlee Pomerene, Dem ocrat, seeking a third term in the Sen ate, and Congressman Simeon D. Fess, one of the leaders in the lower house and until recently chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. A. V. Donaghey, former State auditor, and Colonel Carmi A. Thompson are contesting for the gov ernorship.
 NATIONAL STATE ISSUES UP
 The campaign is being fought out on both national and State issues. Sen ator Pomer2ne is attacking the record made by Congress and especially the Fordney Cumber tariff, while Con- gressman Fess whole-heartedly de- fends the record made by his party col leagues and himself, declaring no Con- gross has a better record.
 Colonel Thompson is appealing for support upon promises of "business administration" of State affairs and also upon the duty, as he sees it, of the Presidents State upholding his hands. His opponent, who served eight years as State auditor, is mak- ing a campaign almost wholly upon State issues.
 "The "wet" and "dry" issue is in volved, through the endorsement of the Republican candidates for Sen ator and Governor by the Anti-Saloon League, and because State constitu- tional amendment to permit the manu- facture and sale of beer and light wines will be voted upon at the same time. Proponents of this amendment largely are lining up behind the Demo- cratic candidates, and Senator Pom creme has received the endorsement of the Association Opposed to the Pro- hibition Amendment
 Both parties, according to reports, are suffering from a lack of cam- paign funds.
 MORE DEMOCRATS IN HOUSE? Democrats predict success for their Congressional nominees in the Third, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteen, Fourteenth, Eff teenth Twentieth and Twenty first dis tricts. Interest in these races, how ever, centers in the Third, which in cludes the home of former Governor James M. Cox, and the Eighth, which includes Marion, the home town of President Harding. The fight in both districts is complicated by the "wet" and "dry" issue, Congressmen Roy Fitzgerald, of the Third, and Clint Cole, of the Eighth, having the sup port of the Anti-Saloon League against former Congressman Warren Gard and H. H. Hartman, the Democratic nominees.
 WOMAN CANDIDATE STRONG Women of the nation are interest ed in the independent candidacy of Judge Florence E. Allen for the Su- preme Court. Predictions are freely made that she will win out over the nominees of both Republican and Dem. ocratic parties. The judicial ballot | is apart from that for other State Of fees.
 Generally speaking, however, wo- men of the State are showing but little of the intense interest manifest in the 1920 campaign. The registration, par ticularly of women voters, has been extremely light, and not more than 50 per cent of those women residing in registration cities will be qualified to cast their ballots, according to cleo tiOn authorities.
