for reelection against the challenge
of Republican Joseph T. Meek.
The two candidates have cam
paigned extensively in downstate
Illinois. Now, with both hopefuls
combing for votes in Cook County,
containing more than half the
States population, Senator Doug
las apparently is in the lead.
National magazine and local
newspaper polls as we'll as inde-
pendent pulse-takers agree that
Mr.. Meek, while an energetic cam
paigner, must base his voting pull
mainly on the Republican Party
organization. He is, of course, con-
ceded the downstate area which is
traditionally Republican property"
The Democratic senior Senator
tells the voters in his campaign
speeches that President Eisenhower
needs a Republican Congress
about as much as he needs pneu-
monia." The Senator then proceeds
to enumerate the list of measures
on which he has supported the Eli
senhower program.
Mr.. Douglas makes much of the
fact that Mr.. Meek, in the primary
election campaign, differed fatty
with the President on a number of
issues. Examples of difference are
the Fair Employment Practices leg
islative proposals, which Mr.. Meek
opposes. He has also declared
against foreign aid. And he is luke
warm toward social security.
Whether Mr.. Meek would support
all phases of President Eisenhower's
program in Congress is considered
questionable. But the President and
other Republican leaders have been
humping the drums for Mr.. Meek
on the theory that, to start with, the
President needs G. O. P. votes to
organize the Senate whether sub
sequent support is Forthcoming or
not.
Relative strength of the two par
ties is not too uneven with the Dem
ocrats having an edge. The Demo-
cratic party strength is, of course,
concentrated in Cook County.
Senator Douglas principal
strength lies in these areas and also
in some farming areas where hexi-
BILE parity is opposed and where
farm prices have become depressed.
Mr.. Meek is strong in the small
cities and towns where he has
wide acquaintance cultivated as
founder and president of the Illinois
Federation of Retail Associations.
an influential, small sllopkeepers
group for which he lobbied in the
legislature at Springfield.

Wyoming
Veteran Legislator
Seeks Senate Post
By Jim Howard
The Wyoming Sfote Tribune

CHEYENNE. - Former Senator
Joseph c. O'Mahoney leads the bid
for Democratic return to power
IN Wyoming's general election.
The 69-year-old Senate veteran
is opposed by Republican Repre-
sentative William Henry Harrison,
direct descendant of two Presidents.
who is just completing his second
term as Wyoming's only Repre-
sentative.
The Senate seat is currently held
by E. D. Crippa. Republican, ap-
pointed after the suicide of Democrat
Lester c. Hunt. Both candidates are
seeking short term to run from
November to January 3, in addition
to the regular six-year term begin
ming in January.
Mr.. O'Mahoney went to Washing
ton in 1917 as aide to Senator John
kendrick, and was appointed to Mr..
Hendricks unexpired term in 1893.
Reelected three times, he was de-
feated in the 1852 Eisenhower
landslide.
Mr.. Harrison, SO, entered politics
as State Representative in 1946.
He went to the Federal House in
1850 and was reelected in 1852.
Mr.. Harrison has campaigned on
solid Endorsement of the Eisenhower
program, hitting also on reclamation
issues and Communists in Govern
ment. Mr.. O'Mahoney is calling for
development of Wyoming and West
ern resources and for better treat
ment for cattle and sheepmen.
Election of Mr.. O'Mahoney by a
wide margin would solidly repudiate
the Eisenhower agriculture and
reclamation program.
An election of 10000 is predicted.
With registration of $4,000 Re-
publicans and $4,000 Democrats, the
key lies in the $4,000 independent
vote.
Mr.. O'Mahoney has solid strength
in the southern part of the State,
Mr.. Harrison is strong in the north.
The Central Wyoming counties of
Natrona and Fremont should tell
how the election will tip.
Right now. it looks close enough
for betting odds to- be even, with
few takers on either side.

Ohio
Eisenhower-Luusche
Is the Real Contest
By Elmer w. Porkin
The Ohio Stote Journal

COLUMBUS. - Ohio'S senatorial
race is popularity contest in which
the candidates appear secondary. It
is show of strength between Demo-
cratic Gov. Frank j. Lausche and
Republican President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Lausche is seeking his fifth term
as Governor.
The Senate candidates are Demo-
crat Thomas A. Burke, incumbent,
and Republican Representative
George H. Bender. They seek the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Robert A. Taft. Mr.. Burke is serving
now as Gov. Lausches appointee.
The Eisenhower-Laus popular
ity interest is seen in their Ohio vote
poll. While Republican Eisenhower
carried Ohio in 1852 by 500, 1000 votes,
Democrat Lausche won fourth
term with $4,000 plurality.
A defeat of Senator Burke is now
indicated by about 6-to-5 margin.
This would reflect against Gov.
Lausche's popularity. BY the same
token, unless Mr.. Bender is elected,
the Eisenhower program is believed
in danger in Ohio.
Both candidates hail from Cuya-
hoga County, Ohio's largest. but Mr..
Burke is believed to have vote edge
in that populous area. Mr.. Bender's
strength is in downstate rural areas.
The Republican enjoys the strong
and valuable-indorsement of the
Taft family. Mr.. Lausche is cam
paigning hard for Mr.. Burke.
Mr.. Burke's campaign strategy is
that President Eisenhower should
not have a "rubber-stamp" Con-
gress; that the G. O. P.'s foreign
policy Is bluff and blunder";: that
the economy has sagged under the
&. o. P. (but he does not contend
there Is a depression) that the Re-
publican tax program is "sellout"
to the rich.
Mr.. Bender campaigns on his
House record Of being 100 per cent
for Ike" He follows the national
G. o. P. line: Control of Congress is
vital. His platform includes strong
economy without war;" and rid the

Canadian Crisis
Series of Hard Knocks for Wheat Farmers
Seen Threatening Dominion's Prosperity
By GeroId Worinq

OTTAWA-After three years in
which more wheat was grown In
Canada than in any like period in
this country's history. the law of
averages caught up with the Ca
madam farmer. This years harvest
is officially described as "a major
crop disaster"
On September / the Canadian
government estimated the crop at
378' million bushels. compared with
last years 614 million. Since then,
wet, cold weather has made matters
worse. Now, the next official crop
estimate. due November S, is ex-
pected to be under 800 million
bushels. Moreover. experts say that
so per cent of the harvest will
grade no higher than No. 5 wheat.
Just about everything happened
to prairie farmers this year that
could happen, with one exception:
There was no drought.
There was rain and cold which
kept the crop late. There was hail
to batter it, sawflies to attack 1t,
frost to nip 1t, and In the fall, when
the combines should have been
cutting wide swaths across the
golden prairies, there was more rain
and snow.
But the greatest damage was done
In June. when balmy breezes from
the south carried the spores Of stem
rust from Americas wheat states
into Canada's wheat provinces. The
result was the most severe outbreak
of wheat rust this country has ever
experienced Race 15B." as the
stem rust is known, blighted every
variety of wheat except the newly
developed, rust-resistant Selkirk
Only 3 million bushels of Selkirk
were grown this year. and every
bushel was tagged for seed next
year. American growers are so eager
to get supplies of this new rust-free
wheat for seed that the Canadian
Wheat Board put an embargo on It's
Evening star., 1954-10-31

Namara's platform is. in effect, a
reprint of any recent issue of the
Democratic Digest.
In Michigan, more than in most
States, the G. o. P. campaign has
been geared to President Eisen-
hower's demonstrated personal
popularity. His likeness will ap-
pear, alongside Lincoln's. in the
party vignette on the ballot next
Tuesday.
Democrats have geared their cam
paign to the "sins of the Eisen-
hover administration" In Michigan
the election is definitely an Eisen-
hover referendum.
Except for their success in elect
ing Gov. G. Mennen Williams
three times, Democrats are the
minority party in Michigan but see
an opportunity this year to restore
the two-party system"
To win, Senator Ferguson must
get 40 per cent Of the Wayne

DETROIT.-Senator Homer Fer
guson, first elected in 1912 on his
fame as crime buster, is seeking
a third term on his record as a
supporter of President Eisenhower.
Challenging him is Patrick v.
Mcnamara, SO. member of the
Detroit Board of Education, elec-
trical contractor and for years an
unpaid official of the AFL Steam
filters Union.
Senator Ferguson has the whole
hearted backing of the Republican
organization, plus modicum Of
AFL support, particularly from the
Teamsters Union. Mr.. Mcnamara
is strongly backed by his party Or
ganization, the CIO. and the
majority of AFL unions. Strangely,
however, until the death of Blair
Moody earlier this year, Mr.. Nc
Namara was anathema to most CIO
and regular Democratic organiza-
ton leaders.
Mr.. Ferguson's platform is "the
record of the Eisenhower admins
tration's achievements" Mr.. Nc

been assailed by conservatives Of his
own party, and his sister has been
made the victim of smear cam
paign. He came out early against
Senator Joseph r. Mccarthy of
Wisconsin, and has pledged 100 per
cent support of President Eisen-
hover. .....
Mr.. Howell, so, an insurance
broker, is serving his third term in
Congress. Like Mr.. Case, he is on
record, against Mccarthy. He is the
handpicked candidate of Gov. Mey-
ner, who is building a State machine
with an eye to a place on the 1856
Democratic ticket. Mr.. Howell has
hammered economic conditions with
emphasis on unemployment. He
claims to have supported more Eisen-
hover legislation than Case. State
scandals involving the late Gov.
Hoffman and other G. o. P. figures
have been brought into the picture.
Mr.. Case has the full blessing of
the White House. The big question
is whether the President can trans
fer his personal popularity. Adlai
Stevenson and Vice President Nixon
have campaigned in the State.
The winner will be largely deter
mined by the independent vote. Mr.
Eisenhower carried the State by more
than $4,000 in 1852. But Meyner
won last year, and by almost 1000
votes.
Democrats are willing to bet How
ell will win by $4,000 to 10000 with
few takers reported. Republican
leaders on the other hand, talk of a
close victory. 1r "a
