Burton-McSweeney
Debates EnIiven Ohio
Senatorial Contest
Democrats in State Split;
Roosevelt, Dovey Groups
Have Separate Quarters
By G. GOULD LINCOLN.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 2l.-Joint
debates in the Lincoln Douglas ira
dition are becoming the recognized
plan of campaigning in Ohio sena-
torial contests. Two years ago Sem
ator Taft and former Senator
Bulkley went at it hammer and
tohgs. Today, Mayor Harold H.
Burton of Cleveland, Republican,
and former Representative McSwee-
ney, Democrat, are fighting it out
for the Senate seat now held by
veteran Democratic Honest Vic
Donahey. who declined to become a
candidate to succeed himself. They
staged a joint debate in Cleveland
Saturday before the City Club, and
at least two more such debates will
be held before the campaign closes
Mr.. McSweeney clamors for more
such meetings-but Mr.. Burton in
sists that his duties as Mayor of
Ohio's largest city make it necessary
for him to be on the Job at least part
Of the time
The Taft-Bulkley joint debates
two years ago aroused national in
terest. 1t was predicted that as a
form Of campaigning and as a
means of interesting the public in
elections other candidates in other
years would follow suit. Indeed
it is more than likely that it was
these Ohio debates which gave
Wendell L. Willkie, Republican NOM
inee for President, the idea of
challenging President Roosevelt to
series of debates. when Mr. Willkie
delivered his acceptance speech last
summer. President Roosevelt did
not see fit to accept such a chal-
lenge and Mr.. Willkie was accused
by friends of Mr.. Roosevelt of
"cheapening" the presidential Office
by issuing such a challenge.
G. O. P. Has Advantage.
The G. o. P. in Ohio has a dis
tinct advantage over the Democratic
organization in the campaign for
State and senatorial Office. Not
only is Mayor Burton of Cleveland
extremely popular, but Gov. John
w. Bricker has given the State a
good administration and is seeking
to succeed himself in Office. Against
Gov. Bricker the Democrats have
nominated former Gov. Martin L.

CHINESE REPORT

Major Battle Developing,
Reports Say, In Area

HONGKONG, May 24.-(R-Chi-
nese dispatches said today that
large numbers of Japanese troops
had been killed by camouflaged
Chinese batteries while crossing
tributaries of the Han river north
west of Tsaoyang, in northern
Hupeh province in Central China.
The dispatches indicated that
fighting in Hupeh was developing
into possibly one of the major bat
ties of the Chinese-Japanese war,
with both sides suffering heavy
casualties.
The Chinese said that they were
offering stiff resistance to the Jap
anese drive through the province,
but indirectly acknowledged that
the Japanese were making head
way by reporting the crossing of
the Han tributaries.
Many points around Tsaoyang
were said to have changed hands
several times in the last few days,
with the Japanese making full use
of artillery and aircraft. Numerous
villages were reported reduced to
ruins.

been made to get the White House
to put pressure on the colonel.
To date all of these efforts have
failed; Colonel Fleming went in
with a free hand, and he's being
allowed to call his w shots. But
some of the New Dealers are wor-
ried, and if you listen in the right
quarters you a hear rumors that
a new administrator is under Sc
Iection-rumors which almost GER
tainly are untrue.
Meanwhile, Congress has made
it clear that the wage-hour law is
much like the tariff-limited re-
vision is impossible. Ever since
the law was passed, the admins
tration has wanted to put through
some very mild amendments; but
the avalanche Of amendments that
loaded the thing down the other

to be drastically rewritten.
Which makes what Colonel
