The rural sections of Ohio, to which
the Republicans look for active support
in the present crisis and which ordi-
narily would go forth to battle Tor the
dry cause against wet Democrat, are
disgruntled because Of the drought, pc
cause they do not care for the tarin
law and because they have not had
the measure of farm relief from the
Republicans for which they had hoped.
This may keep many of the rural voters
from the polls. 1t may even turn some

party and toward the Democratic.
Senator McCulloch, If reports be true,
is not the strongest candidate whom
the Republicans might have put for
ward. His appointment to the Senate
caused chagrin to many Republicans,
particularly to those in power In Cleve-
land. After the death Of the late
Senator Burton it was expected by
many Republicans that the senatorial
appointment would go to Cleveland. 1t
was expected, too, that it would go to
Carmi Thompson. Even Mr.. Thompson
believed that such would be the case.
The selection of Senator McCulloch
therefore, has left soreness In Cleveland
among the Republicans.
Voted for Judge Parker.
Senator McCulloch was one Of those

be giving the Democrats a little too

labor has been on the side of the anti

Uprising I'm 1905.
Ohio was strongly Republican from
the days Of the Civil War up to 1905: In
That year State Treasury scandals
brought an uprising Of the voters. A
Democratic governor was elected. Since
that time the Republicans have had
only four governors Of the State and
each for q single term. Not one of
them was reelected, and Cooper, the
fourth in the list, Is now seeking to
succeed himself. The Democratic gov
ernors, on the other hand, have been
reelected to oflce; JudSon Harmon had
two terms; Jimmy" Cox had three,
and so did ''Vic" Donahey. In 1925, the
last "of-year" election, Donahey de-
feated Cooper, who was making his
first try for governor by 1900 votes.
In that same year, however, the late
Senator Frank B. Willis won re-elec-
