That Is one reason they are anxious

The Republican party has been
adrift in California. Former Presi-
dent Hoover does not mix in State
politics. If he did he might not get

son, and he has not been active in
Republican politics recently. His dis
like for Hoover and his support In
1882 Of Roosevelt, plus his recent i'll
health, have been instrumental In
keeping him in the background. Gov.
Merriam is regarded as a political ac-
cident. His election followed an
aroused public sentiment against Sin
clair Lewis and his 'production-for-
use" program and against the disorders
created In San Francisco in 1884 by
the labor strikes. He has declared for
Landon. bat he can do little per-
sonally in the campaign.

greatest obstacle which now confronts
us is President Roosevelt. Therefore.
my first objective in this campaign is
to bring about the defeat Of Franklin
D. Roosevelt. 1t is very difficult to get
action from Congress when the Presi-
dent opposes the particular legislation
desired"
Despite the seeming overwhelming
Democratic strength in this southern
part of California, the Republicans as
sert they have good chances to win
several congressional districts. They
list as districts that will probab bly,
turn in for the Republican congress
sional candidates, particularly the
eleventh and twelfth districts, and
they say they have chance to carry
the eighteenth and sixteenth. Their
hope in these districts is based largely
on Townsend support and on trou-
bles among the Democrats themselves.
In Los Angeles, as in San Fran
cisco, labor is strong for Roosevelt.
Also there is great number OF per-
sons en- relief, and while some Of
these relief workers are disgruntled
and may vote for Landon. the ma
jority will line up for Roosevelt. Both
Los Angeles and San Francisco now
have large quotas of colored people.
The Democrats here. as elsewhere,
have been striving nightly to win
their votes for Roosevelt. However,
a considerable number of these people
will still vote Republican, as private
polls among them have indicated.
G. o. P. Lack Of Funds.
The Republicans are handicapped
in Los Angeles. they say, because of
lack Of campaign funds. Some of
them fear the New Dealers and others
say: Whats the use Of putting up
money if the State cannot possibly be
won by Landon?" If 1t became known

TOLEDO TO CUT
GANGS HIGHWAY
Anticipated System Of PO-
lice Blamed for Hide
outs of Henchmen

Toledo (Up) $50 Police believe To-
ledo is on the criminals main high
way across the country. and Off
Gals say they are going to do some
thing about it.
Strateg:cally located from the
gangster's point Of view on q line
between New York and Kansas City,
Toledo has made q good hideout for'
fugitive criminals, Harry Manson,
city detective on special assignment
points out.
John Dillinger and his machine
gunners lived in Toledo for three
weeks in January, 1888, Manson
said he has learned.
At various times In pre-repeal
days, Detroit's Purple gang, the
Touhy mob Of Chicago and al Ca
pone's henchmen slipped into To-
ledo hideouts, Mason said.
Anticipated System Blamed
The police system. not the police,
are to blame for Toledo's reputation
as an underworld hideout, police Of
ficials here agree. Records are an
tiquated, they said, and local pa
trolmen are not provided photo
graphs OF criminals.
Between New York and Kansas
City, Manson said, are five stations
along the main stem" of crime
Buffalo, Cleveland. Toledo, Chicago
and st. Louis. Although criminals
consider Detroit too shot, Manson
said, that city nevertheless offers
stepping-off place into Canada.
Route Seldom Changed
Criminals seldom vary from this
beaten path, Manson said depart
ment Of justice records reveal. These
stations offer rich fields. Further
more, in these cities criminals have
friends.
Toledo's new chief Of police, Ray
Allen, has indicated a determine
ton to cancel all "stop-over" tick
cts of voyaging criminals. He has
pledged fullest cooperation with
the county prosecutors office In IN
vestigating criminals and suspicious
persons appearing In Toledo.
Uniform exchange of data be-
tween the key cities along this main
highway Of criminals, by means of
a teletype system, has been slig-
gested by Manson as q step toward
closer surveillance Of criminals in
tcrstate movements.
