Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1932-09-15
Straw Votes Favor Roosevelt

''Straw vote figures collected in
Ohio and elsewhere present impress
i've evidence Of the Democratic trend
that is general throughout the coun-
try this year. Henry G. Drummer,
chairman of the Democratic state
executive committee, commented to-
day. "Signs to be read in the only
major newspaper poll already under
way in Ohio, that of the Dayton
Daily News which is restricted to
balloting on the national ticket,
are borne out by our own tests or
sentiment with regard to Governor
George White, Senator Robert j.
Bulkley and other candidates.
cit is apparent that the hyterical
denunciations of spokesman repre-
senting the alarmed Republican
leadership are not having their in
tended effect of cooling the enthus-
iasm of the overwhelming majority
of voters for the Democratic nom
inees.
"In normally Republican areas
polled by the Dayton News and IN
other territory usually counted as
safely Republican, the sweep in ia
vor of Democratic candidates is sur
prising keen political observers. =
A recent summary of the Dayton
newspapers canvass showed these
totals: Total vote cast, 1868; total
votes for Hoover, 95S; Roosevelt,
1878; Thomas, 161. Of these 67S
indicated they were switching their
votes for Hoover in 1928 to Roose-
welt this year.
Figures reported to Democratic
state headquarters from normally
Republican Lawrence county showed
Governor White running ahead Of
his Republican opponent for the
governorship in the ratio of nearly
two to one. Senator Bulkley was
maintaining the same lead over the
Republican senatorial nominee.

The Greeks give the following ex-
planation concerning the origin of
the earth. Many years ago the al
mighty thrust his finger into thick
bank of fog and began to slowly
move his hand in a circular motion.
Faster and faster he whirled the
fog until it became so warm that it
burst into flame and went rolling off
through the universe AS it moved
it began to cool. Of course this
cooling process caused the outer
crust of the earth to throw up
mountains and hills; in like man
ner as does the outer skin of bak-
ed apple wrinkle as the apple cools.

Origin of Unlucky Is
Many thousand years ago in a
little room on the second floor of a
home, twelve men were gathered
around table eating supper. They
were talking all the while to their
leader, inquiring of him what they
should do when sent out to carry on
his work. The thirteenth person of
this group had left early in the ev-
'ening not caring to listen to the
final instruction of his Master.
Through the shaded streets of the
village he stole away to a small
room, and there for few pieces of
silver he betrayed his Lord.

find himself surrounded quietly by half
dozen well dressed men from the

And If Mr.. Roosevelt ever steps out
side the White House, from that time
on without one or more of these men
close at hand, he will have an expert
