Ohio Democrats are retaliating
on the Republican effort to snipe

at Chester c. Bolton, Republican
Representative from Cleveland
and cochairman of the Republi-
can Congressional committee. Re
publicanS are making q concen-
trated drive on old-timer Repre-

Democrats admit they may lose
two seats, in spite Of the fact
that they will elect a Democratic
Senator.

prise for everybody. If Senator
Reed is defeated, the Guffey wave
will probably carry five to 10
Democrats into seats now occu-
