Ohio Is In Throes Of j
Hot Political Fight !
' i i
Republicans In President's Home State Making
Heroic Efforts To Hold It For G. O. P. But
Democrats Are Confident Of Victory And
Look For Big Majority
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 3. (By The
Associated Press) One of the hard
est fought political struggles in its
history Jia being staged in President''
Harding's home state of Ohio, where1,
loth Republicans and Democrats have!
made the President's administration!
with hnlh nnrties claiming I
success
Ohio voters have been urged by
the Republicans to uphold the work
of President Harding's administra
tion. , Accomplishments of the nat
ional aiministration have been re
counted by both native and imported
campaigners, virtually every mem
ber of the President's Cabinet having
TisIteftjOhio for the Republicans.
The Democrats have concentrated
on the Republican national and state
administrations. The democratic
campaign has been conducted almost
entirely by home talent, but these
home speakers have made a cam
paign equal to the Republican effort.
The result is that, despite a plural
ity of approximately 400,000 for Mr
Harding In Ohio two years ago, the
Democrats are making large claims
for the success of the entire Demo
cratic ticket In Ohio at the election
on November 7th. W. V. Durbin,
Democratic campaign manager, said
that he believed the Democratic ma
jority would reach 200,000. He said
that poljs conducted by Cincinnati
and Columbus newspapers showed
the Democrats would have a big lead.
He Dointed out that these same polls
two years ago indicated an overwhel
ming victory for the Republicans.
William H. Miller, the Republican
campaign manager, Insisted that the
entire Republican ticket in Ohio
would be successful, but he refused
to indicate by what margin.
"We are busy getting out the Re
publican vote, and believe that it will
all be out," he said. "I do not be
lieve that iny Republican votes will
switch to the Democratic column.
We are depending upon the Repub
lican votes."
Democratic Chairman Durbin
pointed o the list of cabinet mem
bers andVoJther out-of-the-state speak
ers who Irave been sent into Ohio by
the Republicans as Indicating in his
opinion 'that the Republicans are
worried about the result In Ohio.
Among such Republican campaign
orators have been Secretaries Daugh
erty, Hoover, Hughes, Denby, Wal
lace and Postmaster General Work of
President Harding's cabinet, and
Senators Edge of New Jersey, ex-
Senator Beverldge of Indiana, Gov
ernor Morrow of Kentucky and Roy
VTnvnPR. Federal prohibition com
missloner.
In a speech at Mlddletown, Ohio,
la support of the Republican candi
dates, Senator Edge declared that the
verdict of the voters in Ohio "should
settle for all time any question of
President Harding's capable hand
ling of the grave responsibilities
placed upon his shoulders. Ohio is
on trial!"
He added that party leaders
formerly said "Look to Maine" now
say "Look to Ohio."
In addition to the speakers from
other - state. Colonel Carmi A.
Thompson of Cleveland, the Repub
lican nominee for governor, and Con
gressman Simeon D. Fess, the Re
publican nominee for senator, have
stumped the state from one end to
the other. Governor Harry L. Davis
also has taken the stump for the Re
publican ticket, although he is not a
candidate for re-election.
On the Democratic side, Atlee
ppnierene, the Democratic candidate
for re-election to the Senate, and A.
Victor Donahey, the
Democratic
nominee for governor, have borne the
brunt of the campaigning, although
former Governor James M. Cox of
Dayton, who was the Democratic
nominee for President against Mr.
Harding two years ago, has also tak
en the s'.nmp. -
Both parties are paying particular
attention to the election of Ohio's
Congressional delegation of 22, now
solidly Republican.
Democrats are claiming assured
victories In the Third (Dayton),
Fourth (Lima). Fifth (Defiance),
"Ninth (Toledo), Twelfth (Colum
bus), Thirteenth (Sandusky), Sev
enteenth (Newark) and Twenty-first
Cleveland) districts, and assert
that a Democratic landslide will
carry the Democratic Congressional
candidates In other districts to vic
tory. The Republicans are claiming
the re-election of an entire Repub
limn Conf;rp!:iriil delegation from

Falls Says Weevil
Now In Pasquotank
.Throe I'm ins I'oiiihI Infested In 'Unci
j Different Tom iiMhips IndicntiiiK
General Presence Of Pest
The boll weevil has reached Pas
! quotuuk County and Indications are
I that scattered specimens could be
found in almost any part of the
County.
j The foregoing statement is vouch
ed for by County Agricultural Agent
iG. W. Falls, who, early this week In
j company with Assistant State Entom
. ologist J. A. Mabee, conducted a sys
I tematlc search for the weevil on a
number of farms in the County.
The weevil was found on three
farms in three different townships.
INixonton, Mt. Ilermon and Provl-
, dence, Indicating that it Is pretty
j well distributed over the whole
j County. The first farm on which
, weevils were discovered was that of
jjohn Overton, colored, live miles
I from town on Body Road. The other
two farms were J. D. Winslow's
farm in Providence, near the Nor
j folk Southern passenger station, and
Percy Pritchard's farm in Mt. Iler
mon. "Looking for the boll weevil,"
says Mr. Falls, "is like searching for
a needle In a haystack. The weevil.--are
so small and as yet the Infes
tation is so light. I am confident
that they might be found on 100
other farms In the County If syste
matic search were made for thetn.
The weevil was for the first time
authoritatively reported to have
crossed the Albemarle Sound on Oc
tober 9th. Only a few weeks prior
to that time official announcement
came from the State Department of
Agriculture at Raleigh that no trace
of the weevil had been found north
of the Sound.
It is three years, generally speak
ing, from the first appearance of the
weevil before the pest reaches the
height of Its destructlveness. That
consumation may perhaps be delayed
by the vigorous use of preventive
measures information as to which
is now available to every farmer in
the State.
Mr. Falls has live specimens of the
boll weevil and specimens of the boll
weevil's eggs which he will be glad
to show any farmer Interested.
