ter was only l3 years of age at the

DEMOCRATS Will
FIND TROUBLE IN
THE middle west
CONTINUED from First Page)

negro vote, estimated at $4,000 or
more. At this writing the democratic
managers are predicting that this
vote will go almost solidiy for Smith,
but the republicans are fully alive
to what is taking place among negro
voters. and say that before election
day the bulk of negro OBJECTIONS
will have been cancelled.
Look to Cleveland
1t Is to Cleveland. the country's
fifth largest city. that the democrats
look for their greatest gains. They
say they foresee a Smith plurality
of $4,000 or more in Cleveland, and
that the republicans concede that
the going there will not be so easy
for Hoover. The city has very large
percentage of voters of foreign ex-
traction. who agree with the demo-
cratic nominee on prohibition. and
who are mostly Catholic 1t likewise
has large negro population and the
republican organization there has
been having trouble keeping its own
leaders in line. LaFollette carried
the city In 1924. and the LaFollette-
Davis combined vote was $4,000 in
excess Of that cast for Coolidge.
Cincinnati. normally a republican
stronghold. has long counted the
German element one of the strong
est in its civic life, and if rated
one of the wettest cities in the mid
west. Columbus and Toledo likewise
are normally republican, but this
year each Of them is under the
scrutiny of strong republican city
organization. In Columbus mod
ration committee" has been organ
Eed by substantial business men
who are convinced the prohibition
law has not been a complete sue
cess. but this committee has made
no plans thus far to participate in
the 1928 campaign.
Have State Troubles
Both parties. of course. have
their state troubles but they are
perhaps more conspicuous among
the democrats. They center largely
on prohibition. The state elects a
governor and two senator's this year
and the gubernatoriai nominee on
the democratic ticket with Smith,
Martin l.. Davey. is dry. So is the
retiring governor. Vic Donahey.
who like James NJ. Cox. has been
one of those democrats with so
large personal following that he
was able to get himself elected re-
peatedly to the governorship in the
face of the Ohio habit Of voting re-
publican in the national elections.
Cox Is taking considerable part in
the campaign for Smith, but Dona-
hey is not. He was opposed to
Smiths nomination and since the
national convention has contented
himself with saying that he still is
a democrat.
