MIDDLE WEST’S VOTE TO DECIDE HOOVER'S FATE Indiana, Illinois, Michigan Wisconsin and Ohio Are ‘Key States.’ RY RAYMOND CLAPPER, I'nlled Pt Staff Orrepondf nt (Copyright. 1832. by United Press) WASHINGTON. Oct. 10—Political managers on both sides believe the presidential election will be decided by a block of 100 electoral votes in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. President Hcxjver thinks this (?roup is so important that the White House made known over the week-end that he will make his next major campaign speech in Ohio. He carried all five states four years ago. But confidential reports to the United Press regarding conditions in these states now assert that large numbers of voters are disappointed and are registering Democratic. Some of the reports say that the feeling is more anti-Hoover than pro-Roosevelt. Economic questions dominate the reports with only some incidental attention to prohibition, on the whole. See 300,000 Majority The intensity of the fight in Ohio is revealed by the fact that Post-master-General Walter F. Brown, who managed the President's preconvention campaign, and who was to have been an important figure in the national campaign, since has been compelled to spend much time in Ohio prodding his own state forces. He is working like a ward politician trying to save his own state. “From all present signs, Ohio will go to Roosevelt,” one report said. “Some estimate the possible majority at 300.000. The party is doing very little to help Hoover, his name being mentioned only when necessary at meetings.” The Republican hope is in their candidate for Governor, David S. Ingalls, a lively young man in his thirties. With his flying, polo playing. handshaking tours, frankness, wealth and independence of the machine, he is credited with the best chance to survive. Watson Desserts Hoover Republicans in Indiana indicate concern over their chances. Senator James E. Watson, Republican senate leader, is making the fight of his life. In trying to save Watson, Mr. Hoover has been left, to shift for himself. He crossed the state twice on the Des Moines trip this week, and made several rear-platform appearances on the return trip. But Watson never went near the presidential train. In his campaign speeches he is stressing the home loan bank system. In Indiana it is referred to as Watson’s child, in. Washington as Mr. Hoover’s. Reports say a Democratic victory is likely to sweep the entire stare ticket in with Roosevelt.. Illinois for Roosevelt Reports of a Roosevelt landslide in Illinois are based on the antiHoover leanings of the SmallThompson Republican organization, business conditions, farm depression and prohibition. “From what I hear since coming home,” said a business man. “it looks ve: auch like a Roosevelt landslide in Inois, although plenty of respe ble Democrats seem a bit afr of him and his following.” C inarily Democrats cast around 350,u00 votes in the Illinois state primary, but this year about P50,000 participated. Though some are forecasting that Governor Roosevelt will carry Michigan, other persons who know the state thoroughly challenge this. Couzons Not to Bolt “The Democratic vote in the recent primary increased amazingly, but heretofore it has been so low that even an amazing increase does not seem to bring it within hailing distance of the Republican vote,” one report said. Democrats are expected, however, to gain one congressional seat—in the First district. Republicans nominated a Negro, due to the fact that the other Republican voters, largely foreign born, went into the Democratic primary. Senator James Couzens, independent Republican, though at odds with Mr. Hoover in some respects, has indicated no intention of bolting the ticket. Kohler Ignores President In Wisconsin. anti-Hoover, rather than pro-Roosevelt, sentiment. is reported to be swinging the state for the Democratic presidential candidate. The regular conservative Republican candidate for Governor, Walter J. Kohler, the bathtub manufacturer, is regarded as having a reasonable chance. “There is no doubt that Hoover is very much out of favor in Wisconsin,” one report stated. “The Republican movement for Kohler recognizes this fact to such an extent that the Hoover campaign and the Kohler campaign are being conducted by two separate organizations. In other words, Kohler doesn’t try to carry Mr. Hoover along with him." The situation depends somewhat on the attitude the La Follettes decide to take toward the national race. They always have been antiHoover, but they have not indicated whether they will support Roosevelt who must have progressive votes to carry the state. •IF YOU HAVE A JOB. HELP THOSE IN NEED’ Slogan Is Adopted for Community Fund Campaign. “The call of the community fund is an emergency appeal to those who have jobs or incomes in the interest of the city's less fortunate,” Arthur R. Baxter, campaign chairman. said today. “If you have a job. help those who need,” will be the keynote of the ten-day campaign starting Armistice day, Nov. 11. r J. K.

JORDAN LOSES IN SUIT RULING Attorneys Overruled by Judge in Balm Case. First legal skirmish in the milliondollar breach of promise suit against Arthur Jordan, Indianapolis capitalist, was lost by his attorneys today | when Superior Judge Clarence E. Weir overruled a motion to strike out parts of the complaint of Mrs. Margaret Melter, former Goshen rooming house keeper. She charges i Jordan with failing to keep a promise to marry her. The ruling, the first made since filing of the suit by Mrs. Melter, ; July 8, leaves for further ajudication the woman's charge that Jordan declared himself "the happiest | man in America” after his alleged I promise to marry her. Weir also declined to strike from the suit a paragraph alleging that Jordan requested Mrs. Melter to adopt two children after making the alleged marriage agreement. Since filing of the suit, Jordan married Mrs. Alice B. Clarke, 5155 Central avenue. They reside in New York City. AWARD 'GAG' PRIZES $lO Goes to M. E. Marlowe in Palace Contest.

By enrolling one of Woodrow Wilson's most implacable foes—James A. Reed of Missouri—to perform for him one of the big chores in this campaign.” The committee commended on the fact Reed had been chosen to speak to the farmers in this campaign. It asserted Reed had been an opponent of farm relief legislation. 26 DIE IN STORM Fishermen Off Greenland Coast Are Victims.

TWO CONVICTS ESCAPE DURING TRIAL State’s Witnesses in ‘Sweat Box’ Case Flee From Florida Jail. By United Press JACKSONVILLE. Fla.. Oct. 10.— Two of the state’s witnesses in the trial of two convict guards for the alleged torture death of a young New Jersey convict were free today, after a daring escape from the county jail early today. Officers have found no trace of the men, Cleo Drew and James Wofford, convicts who were state witnesses, and had been described by another convict-witness, James Travis, as “men of honor who wouldn't try to escape while they're testifying, although they've had plenty of chances.” The men, officers said, pulled a toilet out of the floor of their cell in the county jail, went through the hole and made their way to an ironbarred window. They sawed the bars and used a rope made from mattresses to descend the wall to freedom. Sentenced to 33 l'ears Jailer T. C. Smythe heard a dog barking during the night and aroused the night jailer. When a checkup was made, it- was found that Drew and Wofford were gone. Wofford was committed from Dade county in September, 1930. to serve thirty-three years for armed robbery. Drew, who testified Friday at the trial, was sentenced in February of this year to serve fifteen years for breaking into private property, 1 The jail break came after the j trial of the two guards, George W. ' Courson and Solomon Higginbotham, had been recessed at 1 p. m. Saturday until 10 a. m. today. Not Put on Stand Wofford had not been put on the j stand by the state, which is bringing its case to a close. Maillefert died, charges the state, i as a result of cruel punishment inflicted by Courson and Higginbotham. The convicts have testified i that Maillefert was placed in a i small structure known as a “‘sweat box.” His feet were placed in stocks that held him immovable and upright, the men said. Then a chain was placed about his neck and when the youth slumped from exhaustion, he was j choked to death. Pleaded for Aid Testimony brought out that Maillefert first was made to walk about naked, in the rain with a heavy barrel suspended from his shoulders. He gnawed his way to freedom, and ran away from the camp, entirely naked, the prisoners testified. They also said in court that when Maillefert was caught he j pleaded with civilians who had gathered, to go back to camp so he wouldn’t be killed; that Higginbotham cursed him, and threatened j to kill him if tried to run. Returning to camp the men said; Maillofert was placed in the sweat | box without food or rest and left in there for about an hour. When the door was opened, Maillefert was dead, they said.

I* your body receiving full benefit of all the oxygen you breathe ? Every human body in its vital processes needs so much oxygen every minute. Nature has arranged for this by a delicate system of balances. Every minute the lungs take in so much oxygej from the air, the heart forces so much blood into the lungs, and the hemoglobin in the red-cells of the blood pick up this oxygen and take it to the various parts of the body where it is needed in the vital processes by which the body is nourished and given energy. Normally, and in health, the system is thus supplied with just the amount of oxygen it needs. "iou know what happens if the air is shut off from your lungs so that you do not get enough oxygen into them. You stifle, you sicken, and if enough is shut off, you die. If the heart fails to send enough blood to the lungs to take up the oxygen, you know how serious that is. How the lungs pant to get more oxygen in to compensate for the slowing down of the blood supply! The thing which you may not know is that the amount of oxygen the blood can take up and carry away from the lungs depends on the number of red-blood-cells and the hemoglobin which they contain. If you suffer from a deficiency of hemoglobin—low blood count or low red-cell count it is commonly called —the supply of oxygen to the blood is diminished just as effectually as if you had shut off the air supply to the lungs, or as if you suffered from heart disease. Nature strives to compensate against a deficiency of hemoglobin, as it does against an impaired heart action. It pays to keep the red-blood-cells and their hemoglobin content up to normal.

CCIENCE tells us that overwork, worry, colds, sickness and diet neglect frequently reduce the red-cells and the hemoglobin content of the blood — and when these are reduced the body and mind are not normal. The reason of this is that the hemoglobin—in the red-cells of the blood—acts as a carrying agent. It takes up the vital oxygen in the lungs and conveys it to all parts of the body— even lo the skin —and brings the accumulated body poison back to the lungs to be thrown off, Think what this means to you With the right amount of hemoglobin in your red-blood-cells, your body will have the benefit of more of the vital and purifying oxygen and the poisonous carbon dioxide will be more rapidly thrown off. Oxygen in the blood . . . organs . . . tissues ... is so necessary for the proper conversion of nourishment into body heat, energy, muscle tone, tissue repair and for giving vitality to the disease-re-sist ing cells of the body. S.S.S. builds up the blood S.S.S., in addition to being a valuable general tonic, has the special property of increasing red-cells and restoring hemoglobhl content of the blood, when deficient.
