Ohio Heavily Republican
BU L. R. Conner

~ ~ 4ts SoHftCf.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. A.
Registration day in Ohio has passed
and the result throughout the State
has been mostly silence. The fact
that in almost every central COM
munity, such as Cleveland and
Akron, the lack of registered voters
noted earlier has been made up, has
not had the effect of bringing out
any claim of victory by State Dem
ocratic Chairman Horstman. And
of course, Republican State Chair
man Schorr naturally remained
quiet.
AS far as any one can determine
the effect of the registration will be
to bring Ohio's 1914 presidential
vote back to what is considered nor
NAL. And with normal vote Ohio
is expected to go Republican.
The New Deal leaders have been
counting on large pluralities out OF
Cleveland, Akron and other manu-
featuring centers to overcome the
almost. practically unanimous Re-
publican sentiment throughout the
rural areas of the State. But it is
fact that any three sizable Re-
publican congressional districts in
Ohio can cancel out whatever DEM
ocratic vote is produced in Cleve-
lands two predominantly Democrat
ic districts.

what was once the most rock ribbed
Republican State of the Union. Evil
dences that the Democrats are
counting heavily on CIO and PAC
support are apparent in some coun-
ties where local party leaders are
all but inactive.
This condition In a way prevails
even at Democratic State headquar-
tiers where publicity is a mere trickle
compared with the flood of advance
copies of speeches, itineraries and
other matter that daily issues from
COP State headquarters.
The Republican strategy is to re-
duce the Democratic pluralities in
the big cities and in the mining dis
tricts, but not for quote they admit
both Philadelphia and Allegany
County will go Democratic again.
If the Roosevelt leads there can be
reduced to about $4,000 in place of
the 177000 Roosevelt plurality in
Philadelphia in 1910 and the 104 900
in Pittsburgh, Republican leaders
seem sure the Dewey ticket will win.
There are signs that in the an
thracite counties of Luzerne and
Schuylkill the mine vote will be
badly split and claims that these
districts will be Republican. The
bituminous counties in Western
Pennsylvania, however, will proba-
bly, remain Democratic. The Re-
publican assertion that rural coun-
ties can be counted as Republican is
denied by Democrats who point out
that some of them now have large
war industries and that organized
workers will support the New Deal.

nessee's highly confident Democrats
are finally getting around to un-
corking their campaign for Roose-
velt and Truman. Today the van
guard of as speakers, including
a Senator and four members of
Congress, will take the stump in
county courthouses. The announce
ment comes as it began to appear
that If they didn't snap out of their
apathy, the Republicans at least
might make it embarrassing.
The COP is concentrating on
establishing headquarters in larger
cities and organizing Dewey -Bricker
clubs, which they claim cut across
party lines, and welcome many anti
Roosevelt Democrats. The latter,
however, still will vote Democratic
for the State ticket.
AS the presidential fight hasn't
really swung out as yet, it is diff
cult to point to the main issues.
Republicans are digging deep into
Democratic ranks among business
men. Cotton row is mad at Gov
ernment meddling. Democrats still
point with horror at Hoover and
the evils of changing horses in
midstream, etc.
None of the real students of the
game can see anything but true
to-form vote. The State will support
Roosevelt about two to one and will
send eight Democrats and two Re-
publicans to Congress and over
whelmingly elect Democratic Gov
ernor, James Nance Jim" McCord,
now Representative.

tangible idea that Roosevelt no
longer is the personification of the
Democratic party, or of the mass of
citizens Of the United States. Most
men and women find the thought
hard to express, but their viewpoint
basically is that F. D. r. has lost
the common touch.
Dewey, on the other hand, is re-
garded as the personification of the
Republican party, and even the per-
sonification of the ordinary man
and woman.
This situation has built up slowly,
without the assistance of any propa-
ganda, open or furtive. There does
not seem to be any question of age
involved, for few mention the ages
of the candidates at all.
Rather, the viewpoint is that F..
D. R. is letting too many men speak
for him, too many men act for him.
and clustering himself behind a
wall of military secrecy. To these
same persons Dewey seems to be
speaking for himself, directing per-
sonally the course of his Campaign
and of the Republican party, and
nevertheless continuing to be ac-
cesSible.
Oddly enough, most say that
these comparisons are unjust. But
unjust or not, emotional or not. a
great many citizens of New Jersey
express a warmth for Dewey that is
lacking when they discuss the Presi-
dent. And that personal touch might

Soldier Vote May Decide
By l. II. Masters.


ST. PAUL, MINI, Oct. 14.-Big
question mark in the forthcoming
presidential election in Minnesota
the Dakotas and Nebraska is the
soldier vote, which can easily be the
determining factor for either Presi-
dent Roosevelt or his Republican
opponent, Thomas E. Dewey.
Minnesota State officials predict
the soldier vote may top $50 900 in
general election compared to $500
who cast ballots in primaries, and
are amazed by demands for ballots
Comparable servicemen votes can
be expected, in other Northwest
States.
While the soldier vote trend re-
mains mystery, the fight for agri-
culture and labor support has been
intensified. Dewey's running mate.
John w. Bricker, swung through
Minnesota and then ventured
across turbulent North Dakota
proving himself a master diplomat
when he met both Republican SEN
ator Gerald p. Nye and Nye,s SEN
atorial opponent, Lynn Stambaugh,
former national Legion comman-
der, a Republican running as inde-
pendent. While saying good-by to
one, he was greeting the arrival of
the other.
Bricker made a deep impression
in Minnesota.
Following him was Gov. Robert
s. Kerr who in a Duluth address
made scorching attack on Dewey's
Oklahoma speech, charging the
New Yorker with avoiding the is
sues OF the campaign by his

Louisiana has taken action remov-
ing from its list of nominees four
presidential electors who refused to
pledge support of the party's ma
tional nominees, and these original
nominees have gone to court to
challenge legality of the action.
Three other nominees refused to
take the pledge, but handed in
their designations. Three of the
original 10 pledged support. The
Central Committee adopted a new
list. including those pledged, and
unless the court decision reyerses it's
action, will put an all-Roosevelt
ticket Of electors on the November
ballot.
Gov. Robert S. Kerr OF Oklahoma
is making campaign speeches for
the Democratic national ticket and
will speak in Texas during the next

Though national polls show Ok
lahoma as one of the most doubtful

Gov. Kerr insists it will return a
substantial Democratic majority, and
he is carrying his campaign efforts

Danaher Faces Fight

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. IA
The Senate race between John A.
Danaher, Republican incumbent,
and Brien Mcmahon, is coming more
to the fore in the Connecticut cam
paign, with Danaher, who has been
silent, beginning to state his posi-
ton. Mcmahon started weeks ago
to 60 up and down the State assail-
ing Danaher as an 'isoiationist." /"
Danaher has now challenged McMa-
hon to define the term.
Danaher, it appears, is going to
lose some Republican votes on the
basis of his record, but he also ap-
pears due to get considerable block
of Democratic votes. Observers
range in their predictions from
Danaher being high man on the
Republican ticket to placing him at
the bottom of the candidates as far

HARRISBURG, Oct. 14.-Al-
though leaders, Republican and

parties, indications still are that
the result will be close, considering
the million-vote leads some Repub-

Unbiased political observers, who
have been in contact with county

cations in most parts of the State
are better equipped for the battle
than the local Democratic organiza-
tions. This may be due in part to
the feeling of certainty Democratic

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. IA
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey is coming
into Missouri next week for a major
political address in st. Louis, to
which the Republicans are looking
expectantly in the hope that it will
furnish the final push necessary
to take the States is electoral votes
away from the New Deal.
The Democratic bid has begged
badly here, the extent of which is
becoming apparent as election day
nearS.
Almost without exception the
competent observers who have
studied the Missouri picture report
that unless Roosevelt can pull some
thing out of the hat before Novem-
ber 7, he stands a good chance of
losing the State to Dewey. This is
based on the cold arithmetic of loss
of thousands on the registration in
st. Louis and Kansas City, which
provided the strength for his victory
in 1910 and on a definite trend away
from the New Deal throughout the
rural counties.
Reports indicate st. Louis rolls to
be about $4,000 under the 1910 total
and the Kansas City registration off
about 10000.
Apathy among the voters through
out the State where they have reg
istered has been apparent for weeks.
AS result the experts are predicting
a vote of about 100000 compared
to 1927, 900 in 1910, when Roosevelt
was winner in Missouri by only
81, ,000..
Kansas continues to keep its faith
with the Republican doctrine and is
expected to turn in humping ma
jority for Dewey. The Political Ac-
tion Committee has had no effect
in that State, mostly agricultural,
other than injurious to the New
Deal,

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 14.-So
sure does the national Democratic
ticket seem certain to triumph in
November that the presidential cam
paign in Virginia appears now to
center on things for the future of
the party setup within the State.
M. A. Hutchinson, pro-Roosevelt
critic of the machine" dominated
by Senator Harry Flood Byrd, in
an open letter asked Delegate Earl
A. Fitzpatrick, State campaign man
ager, for show of hands among
the leaders on whether they favor
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Senator Byrd, who was a candi-
date for the nomination, has had
nothing to say. and Representative
Howard w. Smith of the 9th dis
trict did not even turn up at a
Roosevelt Truman Smith" rally in
Fairfax.
The Richmond City Democratic
Committee, also decidedly pro-
Roosevelt, attempted further to
Smoke out" Senator Byrd by ask
ing him to address Richmond
rally Sin advocacy of our great Pres
ident's reelection" Mr.. Hutchin-
son member of this committee,
said Virginia Democrats had "sig-
nally honored" several men who are
"lukewarm" in support of President
Roosevelt.
Labor and many Negro voters have
Joined forces with the literally led
committees of 100 instead of with
the ''machine" dominated State
Central Committee. and it is the
internal fight rather than the
Dewey Roosevelt fight that is at
tracing most attention.
Heavy last-minute registration
plus greater qualification of labor,
of Negroes and of women, as we'll
as the return already of nearly
10000 soldier-sailor ballots, leads to
the prediction that the vote in Vir-
ginia will be heavier than in 1940-
and that the Roosevelt margin will
be greater than 1t was then when
Mr.. Roosevelt polled 236,0OO votes
to 100000 for Mr.. Willkie.
The Democratic Dewey forces are
not as much in evidence as were
the Democrats-against- Roosevelt in

are abroad of considerable subsur-
face activity.

Prejudice
By Carey McWilliams (Little,
BrOiDn. $3.J

ofOtOH. YoJ
This book offers history of anti
Japanese agitation on the Pacific
Coast from the beginning of the
century to the present. So far, at
least, it is consistent. The argu-
ments which the author draws from
the history are, however, bewilder-
ingly inconsistent.
His contention is that the agita-
ton against the japanese did not
spring from any real feeling on the
part of the people of California, but
was stirred up by. politicians and
labor unions in order to provide
themselves with q program. Just
why q politician or a labor union
should attempt to base a program
on platform which was not popu-
lar is not explained. Mr.. McWilliams
further claims that the Japanese
government, far from being sin
cerely affronted by the agitation,
was delighted, and even took meas
ures to keep the anti-Japanese
movement alive. The reason for
this, he says, was that Japan, even
at the beginning of the century, had
determined on war against America,
and found, in the abuse of its citi-
zens in California, a convenient
anti-American talking point. Be-
tween agitators from both sides of
the Pacific, the Japanese immi-
grants therefore were in a bad state.
Mr.. McWilliams pleads now for
sympathetic and kindly treatment
for the japanese in our land. What
a reader cannot understand is why.
