COLUMBUS, Ohio, october 26.-Re
publican hopes in Ohio have been
buoyed by the fighting campaign for
election made by David S. Ingalls,
Dave" ingalls,, the naval flying ace OF
the World War-the party's candidate
for Governor ingalls,, who gave up his
lob as Assistant Secretary of the Navy
for aviation to make the race for Gov
ernor. according to all the straw votes
taken. is running far ahead OF the Re
publican ticket. For example. the poll
taken by the Columbus Dispatch shows
ingalls, with a lead Of 760 votes over
Gov George White his Democratic
opponent, with more than $4,000 straw
votes counted In the poll OF the
Columbus CitiZen-ScrippS-H Howard poll
of Ohio-White has lead of 1921 out
of a total of more than $4,000 votes.
These same polls place President Hoover
far behind Roosevelt, although the
President in the straw votes taken IN
October has been making gains.
The ingalls, candidacy, because OF the
youth of the gubernatorial candidate,
his war record and his prominence IN
Ohio, not to mention the fact that he
is running as a dripping wet. has Gre
ated widespread interest, not only IN
Ohio but throughout the country.
Should he win and become chief eXecu-
tive of the Buckeye State, his frlenos
predict he will go far along the path OF
political preferment: and, win or lose,
he is regarded as one of the coming
Republican leaders. The old order Is
passing.
Younger Group on Rise.
Men who for years have carried the
leadership of Republican Ohio nave
dropped out of the picture. and 1t is to
the younger group that the party Is
locking more and more Tor leadership.
When ingalls, began his campaign,
weeks and months ago, he troo on the
toes. it is true, of some OF the oloer
Republicans.
He undertook to set up his own cam
naipn organization very generally. TINS

President in his speeches, although IN
the main he is engaged in spectacular
attack upon Gov. White and his record

is likely to run ahead OF the Repuollc-

it was easy to vote for a Repuollcan

Democratic Governors last to show her

have held tWo-year terms as Governor
of the State since 1906, rather re-

A few years ago the Republicans
thought up a scheme OF changing tne
law so as to have the gubernatorlal
