.LANDON CONCEDED
VICTORY IN OHIO
Only Political Miracle Will
Win for Borah, Says
Observer.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.
san Correspondent OF The Star.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, May 9.-Re-
publican voters in Ohio will troop to
the polls Tuesday to elect their 50
delegates to the Republican National
Convention.
Barring political miracle. the
great majority of those chosen will
be Landon delegates, although they
wear the thin veneer of Robert A
Taft, the favorite son candidate
The miracle would be the election
Of the delegate slate pledged to Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho. This Borah slate
contains, however. the names of only
IS candidates. at large and % district
delegates.
Like a stag at bay. the Idaho Sena-
tor is facing the pack. He has against
him, first. the entire Republican
organization of Ohio. from State
Chairman Ed Schorr and Walter "
Brown, the national committeeman
on down the line In addition. he has
against him the field" of other aspir-
ants for the Republican nomination,
including Gov. Alf NJ Landon of Kan
sas, Col Frank Knox. Chicago pub
Usher. and Senator Dickinson of Iowa
and all their friends. who are backing
the Taft slate of delegates.
Borah Throws Scare.
Despite these tremendous odds,
Borah has thrown a scare into the
organization, particularly in several
districts. For week, he has been
going up and down the State hurting
bitter epithets at the organization
leaders. Some of his crowds have
been large. The organization leaders
recall what rural Illinois did for
Borah in that States primary several
weeks ago
In a party primary election the
organization almost always has the
advantage. 1t gets out its own voters,
and unless there is an upheaval of sem
timent. it wins. The organization be-
lieveS it has the situation we'll in hand.
It comedies that Borah may elect
three or four district delegates. but
does not agree that he will. More
impartial observers say that perhaps
the Borah people will elect one dele
date at large, although that is doubt
full, and five or six district delegates.
The Borah managers are hopeful of
electing 10 delegates, and they say
that if they elect as many as IS it
would be great victory for them, as
it would.
Landon Makes Progress.
The Landon for President move
ment in this State has made great
progress among the Republicans. The
Kansas Governor appeals to their
imagination. They do not know him
except what they have read and heard
of him. But it is said by the profess
sionals that if the entire favorite-son
slate of delegates should be elected
at least AZ of them would be favorable
to Landon and ready to jump to him
