SITUATION IN OHIO CHEERS DEMOCRATS Party in Solid Alignment for Victory. The returns from the Ohio primary of August 14 were gratifying to Chair. man Raskob of the Democratic na tional committee and to his gssociates at the Democratic national headquar- ters in New York city, The significant feature was the heavy Democratic vote, which exceed- ed that of previous primaries, and was entirely upexpected, due to the fact there really was no major contest among the Ohio Democrats. All the candidates on the Demo- cratic ticket had pledged themselves to support Governor Smith and Sena- tor Robinson. The division between them on the prohibition solely, but it was not clear-cut, Martin L. Davey, who won the Gov- ernor Toyle pomination, bad been in the race for two years, and his oppo- nent, Peter Witt, had been in only about six weeks, ir, Davey had done a great deal of campaigning, and six months ago was recognized winner, Altogether, the Democratic national was as ticket is strong, and will help win Ohio for Governor Smith and Senator Rob- inson, Old Republican Trick to Hoodwink Voters The old Republican trick of attempt- ing to deceive voters on the tariff is- sue is employed in this cam- paign as in others. But itis a feeble effort, being quoting the Democrats in tion that the tariff {s not an issue, and then attempting to demonstrate it is an by asserting that the Democratic party would go back to a free-trade policy. The truth is that the Democratic party wants American industry to flourish and American workers to get maximum pay, and the issue Democrats do not intend to do tariff tinkering that would lead to a financial flurry. The Democratic po- sition that the tariff is not an issue is based on this stand, and it nized by leaders of industry, who have the Republican party apd gone to the support of Governor Smith the country would be is recog- have left and his because ry feel their interests hands, sale in August and November Whatever the Hoover will distinction when and the trum able to say tha » November results, Mr, le to claim a unique the guns are silenced will Repub- lican « for President that ever carried Texas in August when his ma- jority by expert accountant in Dallas at 40,000, As a matter of record the counties Texans are, indorsing Smith-Robinson Also, ets stilled.

Smith’s Record Clear The attacks Governor Smith's on and fewer, due, no doubt, to the fact that investigation demonstrates they have been without foundation. The incident with Rev. Johan Roach Straton, when Governor Smith was ready to defend his record in Doctor Straton’s church, has tended to dem- onstrate that the Demoeratic nominee is ready to answer for everything he did as an assemblyman, Those in charge of the national cam- main before the well that voting, le —— youth, NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Smith in Acceptance Spesch Is Outspoken for Change in Prohibiticn Laws.

He pledged himself to the restoration of honesty In government and to scientific tariff making and declared against “sudden or drastic” changes In the economic system which might upset business. In other matters he followed the plat- form quite closely. Unbiased and nonpartisan opinion Is that Smith in his address showed be is making his chief play for the Eastern states; that he believes the South will be solid for him, and that his hopes of winning states In the Middle West are not excessive.
