Donahey Out
Of Senate Race;
G. 0. P. Buoyed
Withdrawal Is Proof
Democrats Cont Garry
Ohio, Republicans Soy
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator Honest Vic" Donahey,
for years the Democratic bellwether
Of Ohio, exploded a political bomb
shell here last night when he an
nounced he would not be a candi-
date for denomination.
Immediately Republicans declared
his statement clear proof that the
Democrats had no chance to carry
the Buckeye State next November.
Democrats, on the other hard,
expressed great regret that Senator
Donahey was taking himself out of
the race.
The Senator has been recognized
as the greatest vote-getting Demo-
crat Ohio has produced for years
and his absence from the ticket is
expected to weaken materially the
Democratic cause.
Senator Donahey's decision not to
enter the race for the Senate again
follows his declination to become a
favorite-son candidate in the Ohio
preferential primary next May. The
Democratic State Committee had
proposed to put him forward as a
stalking horse for President Roose-
velt, but the Senator some time ago
issued a statement that he would
not participate in such a maneuver
Bankhead Clarifies Statement.
While Senator Donahey was with
drawing from the senatorial race,
giving as his reason desire to rest
after IS years in public service,
Speaker Bankhead issued a state
ment declaring his own candidacy
for the Democratic presidential
nomination must in no sense be re-
garded as opposition to the nomi-
nation Of President Roosevelt for
a third term.
The Speaker made 1t clear he
would support Mr.. Roosevelt for
denomination and reelection II he
becomes candidate. A week ago
Senator Bankhead of Alabama,
brother of the Speaker, urged in
an interview that Mr.. Roosevelt
make known his plans regarding
the presidential nomination. adding
that II the President were not to
be a candidate, the Speaker would
be a formidable contender for the
nomination.
The Speakers statement, issued
here last night, follows:
In an address to the Legislature
OF Alabama last August when / ex-
pressed appreciation to the people
OF the State for their tender of sup
port Of me for the Democratic NOM

New Smashing Defeat

marked up another smashing defeat
to the Red Army in the cold fast
ness northeast of Lake Ladoga,
while the defenders of Viipuri held
at bay ponderous Russian forces
storming the very gates of the
ancient key city on the Karelian
Isthmus.
This time, the Films announced,
It was the 34th Moscow Tank Bri-
gade which was trapped in a snow
shrouded labyrinth-so easy to
march into, so deadly when phantom
ski troops suddenly close the exits
where the formidable 18th Soviet
Division recently met its doom.
The 34th Tank Brigade had been
attempting to come to the rescue
of the 18th Division. But it was
caught, the Firms said, encircled
and finally annihilated, meeting the
same fate of the division its mission
was to save.
Thus tonight another frozen sat
tlefield, with some 1850 Russian
dead, lay northeast of Lake Ladoga,
another ghostly monument to the
strategic skill of Finnish generals
and phantom troops.
