OHIO SWEEPING TO ROOSEVELT, POLLS INDICATE Hard Times, Shift to Wets Portend Vast Gains by Democrats. BV RAY TICKER Timex Staff Writer CLEVELAND. Ort: 12.—1f presidential polls taken by Ohio newspapers of all editorial opinion are extended m their present ratio to include the voting population, the result shows that Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt will carry this erstwhile prohibition stronghold by about 830.000. Although only the most optimistic Democrats expect to see the Democratic plurality reach that figure, it gives some indication of how the November election will go. All canvasses give the Democratic naminee a tremendous lead In both urban and supposedly dry country sections. Many Ohio cities have been hard hit by the depression, industries and banks suffering especially, end the farmers are also in a bad way. Moreover, this home state of the Anti-Saloon League and the W. C. T U. has gone extremely wet, according to all polls. A ten-day poll taken by six Scripps-Howard newspapers in all sections of the state gives 35,287 votes to Roosevelt and 16,089 to Hoover, for repeal there were 44,153 ballots, with 9,099 in opposition. It All Looks Roosevelt Both David S. Ingalls, Reoublican nominee for Governor, and Gilbert Bettman, Republican opponent of Senator Robert J. Bulkley are campaigning as dripping wets, and this may help them. They are not. expected to win, however, if the predicted Roosevelt sweep materializes. As an indication of the trend on prohibition, there is the poll in Hillsboro, where the W. C. T. U. was founded many years ago. It was against prohibition by a tremendous majority. Bettman and Bulkley are concentrating on the liquor issue, each proclaiming in joint debates that he is wetter than his opponent. As evidence of the presidential sentiment, the canvass in the exclusive Hyde park district in Cincinnati, where Alice Longworth lives, gave 605 votes to Roosevelt against, 549 for Hoover. This is the city's strongest Republican suburb, Hoover carrying it over A1 Smith in 1928 by more than 5,000 votes. , Brown Appears Worried Even Lucas county, which includes Toledo, the home of Walter F. Brown, postmaster general, and Hoover’s political adviser, is counted to go Democratic in a big way. Indicative of Brown's attitude is the fact that he has been spending a great deal of time in Toledo, recently, in conferences with county politicians. This is taken to mean that he looks for national defeat, and is rrnrerned mostly in retaining local control. It also Is gossiped about that Brown, in talking with freinds. is conveying the impression that Ogden L. Mills, treasury secretary, is Hoover’s campaign adviser, thereby relieving himself of anv responsibility for the expected calamity on Nov. 8. Brown’s frequent visits home on the eve of the "big Republican push" are the subject of satiric Democratic comment to the effect it is as if Napoleon spent his time 100 miles behind the lines on the eve of Austerlitz—or Waterloo. The trial of Maurice Maschke of Cleveland, former national committeeman, has disrupted Republicans there, and hurt the party. Seek so Use Race Prejudice Although he voluntarily stepped out of the political picture following his indictment, no new leader was chosen. Only within the last ten days was a campaign committee chosen, and it does not seem to be doing much effective work. Cuyahoga county, which is dominated bv thp Cleveland vote, is expected to give a large majority to Roosevelt, as are all the other large cities. In Ohio, as in Indiana and Illinois, where there is large body of Negro voters, the Republicans are hammering at the southern birth and sympathies of Representative •John N. Garner. Democratic vicepresidential nominee. Pointing out that only a heartbeat separates the Texan from the White House, they are seeking to lineup the Negro.vote against the Democratic ticket. But polls show that this usually Republican class of voters is swinging to the New* York Governor.

T OS ANGELES, Oct. 12.—The final chapter to the strange story of th* "hoax murder" of Mildred Scheidler, 20-year-old Indiana hitch-hik'r, was written today with a reunion with her mother, and tne revelation that she was married to the youth, who comoleted the transcontinental junket with her. Mildred, whom Arthur M°tcalf, Indiana farm youth, "confessed killing." calmly embraced her mother, Mrs. Wanda Scheidler, of Fresno. Cal., whom she hadn't seen since she was $, shook hands with Metcalf, and then introduced George Redden, 20, as her husband. Mildred's appearance at police station Monday night Lo deny she was dead, exposed the fantastic story of Metcalf that he had killed her near Needles, Cal., because she had spurned his advances. The two had hitch-hiked from I,a Porte, Ind., where Mildred lived, later being joined by Redden, who brought her here. Metcalf went to Fresno w r here he pi-esented himself as Mrs. Scheidler's long lost son. Police w'ere notified when she found a woman's underclothes, apparently blood-stained, in his possession. Then he “confessed." After the reunion here, Metcalf was returned to Fresno where he will be held for Indiana authorities who reported him mentally deficient. Mildred said she and Redden were married last Saturday. STYLE SHOW IS STAGED Fashion Week Continued at Cooper Women's Apparel Shop.

'SOLID SOUTH' DACK IN FOLD OF DEMOCRATS Border States Also Swing Away From Hoover to Old Moorings. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pres* Staff Correspondent (Corvrteht. 1932. bv United Press t WASHINGTON, Oct. 12—A swing back from President Hoover to Democratic moorings is reported throughout the south, and the border in another group of confidential reports to the United Press in its national impartial survey. Out of a group of fifteen states. Mr. Hoover is reported as having a fighting chance in only one. He carried nine of these states four years ago. Four of them were in what was until then the solid south. These reports give Governor Roosevelt a fairly certain total of 154 electoral votes with the possibility of eight more in West Virginia. This block would carry Roosevelt more than half-way along the road to the 266 votes needed for an electoral college majority. When four of the traditionally Democratic states of the south broke away to President Hoover four years ago, Republicans referred exultingly to the "once solid south." They began building a ‘‘new Re-

These ten states will provide Governor Roosevelt with 113 sure electoral votes which gives him a Ion? running start toward the 266 majority he must have to win. The four states which went to Mr. Hoover four years ago were Virginia. North Carolina, Florida and Texas. Os forty-nine electoral votes on the border—in Maryland. West Virginia. Kentucky,- Tennessee and Oklahoma—reports in the survey place forty-cne of these definitely in Roosevelt's column. Only West Virginia's -ight Is deemed worth a fight by the Republicans.
