Conservatives Terms.

CORINTO, Nicaragua, October 25
R.-The peace conference between

OHIO REGISTRATION
FALLS. Off 100000
Party Leaders in Quandary
as Election Fails to
Interest Voters.

BY the Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio, October ..5.--Iack
OF interest by the voters in the Ohio
in q quandary as to the probable
effect upon chances OF election Of
their candidates.
Approximately 100000 fewer voters
registered for this years election In
the seven largest cities, Cleveland.
Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus, Dayton,
Akron and Youngstown, than two
years ago. approximately $4,000
fewer registered in the seven large
cities than which registered four years
ago. This falling off in the bitg city
vote is construed generally as enhanc-
ing the reelection Of Senator Frank
B. Willis. so far as the urban vote is
concerned. but light vote in the
rural districts Is likewise construed
to be favorable to former Senator
AtIee Pomerene, the Democratic sena-
torial nominee.
This Is based on the assumption
that Mr.. Pomerene will receive a large
percentage of the liberal vote which
predominates in the large cities and
that Senator Willis will receive a ma
jority Of the dry vote which predom-
mates in the rural sections. The
wet-and-dry issue, though not openly
discussed, continues to be the most
important in the senatorial contest.
Cleveland, approximately twice as
large as Cincinnati. has 1000 fewer
voters registered, the former qualify
ing 121, 900 and the latter 1913 1000.
The wet-and-dry issue Is not so pro-
nounced in the gubernatorial contest
between Vic Donahey, who is seeking
third term on the Democratic ticket,
and Myers Y. Cooper Of Cincinnati. the
Republican candidate. Both candi-
dates are acceptable to the dry or
ganization. The gubernatorial issues
have been confined to State matters,
Gov. Donahey, in the few speeches
he has made, stressing alleged domi-
nation Of the Utilities and Tax Com
mission by utility interests, which are
controlled by Republicans. Mr.. Cooper
stresses alleged lack OF business ad-
ministration by the governor, holding
him responsible for State treasury
