Ohio People See Interest Shifting To Newton Baker For Race In 1932 Conditions May Develop At Home That Would Practically Force Him Into The Fight. Cleveland.—A definite shifting ot coldly analytical eyes toward former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker has been going on during the last six weeks. The eyes are those ot national Democratic chieftains, and behind the eyes are considerations of a presidential nomination and election twelve months hence. Mr. Baker, who was reported in this correspondence three months ago to be withstanding with per fect composure the stories about his availability as presidential timber, is still composed. He may be im pressed, or he may not, by current reports that southern and western national committeemen of his par ty are more and more fitful about the Franklin Roosevelt boom. No one knows what he thinks of re cently published stories about the question of his being in physical condition for a presidential light. As likewise reported here previous ly, Mr. Baker's health is better now that it was three years ago, when he very nearly collapsed during a campaign trip for Alfred E. Smith. But no one knows what lie himselt thinks of his own condition. It was permitted one of Mr. Bak er's great friends, Democratic City Chairman W. B. Gongwer, about eight weeks ago, to say that Mr. Baker was not an active seeker of the 1932 nomination and that he | had not indicated that he would i ever refuse an unsolicited nomina tion for the highest national office. Later it appeared that this state ment was prepared by Mr. Gongwer with some care. But that is all that has been said for Mr. Baker regard ing the Presidential nomination of next year. Apparently in Good Health. To judge entirely by his activity, fdr. Bakers physical condition is good. He spent a winter trying law suits—he is still one of the ten or twelve most popular court room lawyers in America—and devoting much time to the Wickersham com mission sessions. All this was in spite of the fact that he had given all last summer to the intense Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com pany fight. This decision, averse to the Bethlehem Steel-Youngstown Sheet and Tube interests, is now on appeal prepared by Mr. Baker. For a lew weeks of late winter he went to Europe and back and afterward resumed daily business activities. During the last fortnight, lor ex 1 ample, he wss on a combined speak ing and legal trip that lasted al most a week and extended from New York state to Illinois. It in cluded an appearance at Princeton to receive a doctor s degree. He has under consideration the request of the lather of two Mexican boys ,:lain in Oklahoma by law officers, to represent him at the prosecution of the officers. There is constantly so much being asked of Mr. Baker that he may be doing more than he wishes to do. But there is no evi dence that he leels that way. That there is a general turning • award him has been reported in 'cwspapers in the past month with •ncreasing vigor. Walker S. Buel, Washington correspondent of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, reported a general feeling in Democratic cir cles at the capital that "no one but Baker can stop Roosevelt." Follow ing the lead of Cleveland Legion members at a sort of Baker testi monial last December, other mem bers and posts have been sending out inquiries, some of which have landed here and some at Washing ton, which ask in effect: "How about Newton Baker running lor President?'’ Mr. Gongwer and otner v>ievr»i*u Democratic thinkers believe it is much more likely that there will be more Ohio votes In the 1932 con vention for Baker for President, right from the opening gun. than for either Governor George White or United States Senator Robert J. Bulkley, both of whom are men tioned. For that matter. Senator Bulkley would be an enthusiast for Baker for President and, while it is impossible to read his mind, it is more than possible that Governor White is,of the same bent. Donahey In Ultimatum. A story was circulated the other day that Vic Donahey, the youthful •‘sage” of the Ohio Democracy and the only Democrat ever to serve three straight terms as Governor, had told friends that if Governor White ties up to Governor Roose velt’s Presidential effort, he Dona hey. will fight Mr. White for the Governorship. Mr. Donahey was al ways anti-East in his political in stincts, and although hr retired four years ago to the comparative pleasures of life without politics he is making no mean threat. He still commands the following of Demo cratic rural Ohio. Mr Donahey’s move goes hack to Governor Roosevelt's two-day visit to Ohio two weeks ago, during which he and Governor White had a cheerful and apparently amicable talk. Now. the inference in Vic Donahey’s reputed intentions is one that might create a home situation Mr. Baker could not ignore. If Mr. Donahey is going to fight Governor Roosevelt in Ohio next year. hr i most surety will do it with Newton D Baker's name as his rallying cry. And if that Is ever the situation, the whole Cleveland Democratic organisation and aUies will "go Baker." Lacking word from their Idol and leader, the Clevelanders would hold back only until there was ample provocation for going in regardless. Once Mr. Baker Is “made a can didate. what happens then? 6,565 Students In This County Catawba Only Nearby County to Top Cleveland In Number Pupils Enrolled. Hickory Record.

I shall vote for Candidate Hoover in 1932 because he has made good in his pre-election promise to abol ish poverty from our country. No banks have failed, all mills and factories are working full time, high wages prevail throughout the na tion. The farmer, the workers ,the middle class and the bankers alike enjoy the fruits of Republican pros perity. Even the bootleggers enjoy prosperity, and to prove it I can point to Newark, N. J., where 370 saloons are wide open with the knowledge and consent of a Repub lican mayor, a good Republican gov ernor, and last but not least a good Democratic attorney general and a Republican president. The drys are also prosperous and happy under Hoover for they have proved that the law can be enforced with a dry president. A1 Capone is prosperous and hap py, too. Why not; he is going into the eighth year of successful owner ship and leadership in the largest liquor trust in America. To date he has not been arrested or indicted for conspiracy, transportation or possession of liquor, and there is not apparently in the entire government service one operative or agent who has secured one scrap or evidence to indict Mr. Capone in any federal court in America. The same may be. said of other big shots like Boo-Boo Hoff, of Philadelphia, and Jack • Legs” Dia mond, of New York. In conclusion, I earnestly believe in the U. S. chamber of commerce, the board of trade, the merchants and manufacturers association and the American Bankers association, who have all worked so hard to maintain the high wake level to which we owe our continued pros perity. I prove this statement by quoting the salary and bonus to Eugene Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Co., whose annual salary often exceeds $1,500,00. And so, Mr. Editor, I close, hop ing that we will hear this motto in 1932—Catch ’em, fake ’em, skin 'em, and ship ’em. JOHN SCISSORBILL 3ATP. Wise Collie Tends Cows For Master Sanford.—A. E.
