Man- agers Are Being Used With Telling Effect. i BY DAVID LAWRENCE. COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 28.—Ohio, ; like Indiana, shows symptoms of pro- test, not against Harding the man,} %0 much as the administration which has failed to approximate the Utopla dreamed of by an impatient elec- torate as it threw off the shackles of | cight vears of democracy in 1920 and called for a change. The writer traversed .northern Ohio | a month ago and noted evidence of u | forthcoming reduction in the repub- lican majority of 400.000, but did not gain the impression that a turnover| sufficient to elect the democratic! ticket was in the cards at all. Situation Shows Change. Today the situation is plamly dif- ferent Washington administra- tion confe its worry by sending cabinet bers here to speak.| Some of thcse cabinet members have | helped. but some have hurt. It was | very unwise, for instance. for the Postmaster General to make thai speech which, in effect, sald Wilson and the kaiser had dictatorial in-} stincts in common. ! Folltically it was unwise, however! convinced Dr. Work may have been of the accuracy of his comparison. For when one penetrates Ohio one, finds the republicar party filled with former democrats who bolted in 1920. Some of them have been disillusioned | and are going bick. Many of them | would stay in the republican party{ if not driven into the arms of the democratic workers. Typical among these are the former democrats who | still have a deep respect for Woods | row Wilson and w e riled when, they hear of a speech mentioning in the same breath one man who coun- tenanced submarine warfare and Zeppelin raids on innocent people and another whose political maneuvers may have been overzealously exe- cuted. but who cannot be charged with the crimes that the kaiser wrought.

They cannot overturn impres- sions formed by the voters after two ! years of observation from day to day. The situation in Ohio would have been local if the cabinet had not intervened. It is essentially local, be- cause the administration of Gov. Harry Davis, republican, is hardly popular and it took a strong man like Carmi Thompson. republican i ompliment, too, that a lady who has nominee in the primaries, to over- come the handicaps of his -party. Left alone, Mr. Thompson would have fought it out as well, if not better, than he could do with Washington assistance. And whichever way the governorship goes, so will the sena- torial ticket go. Carmi Thompson will pull Simeon Fess for senator along with him if he wins, and, con- versely, Vic Donahey will carry Sena- tor Pomerene along if this is to be: together. ' & democratic year. Straw Votes Favor Democrats. Two polls being conducted by news- papers of importance in Ohio cannot be overlooked in calculating the re- . sult. One is being carried on by the Cincinnati Enquirer, owned by E. B. McLean, ons of the intimates of the | hADDY ever after.” White House circle, and the other by the Columbus Dispatch, an independ- ent newspaper.

However, of this and other years, the Columbus Dispatch figures would seem to indi- cate a democratic victory by about 200,000 votes. Both newspapers have conducted polls in other years, using the same method of caiculation, and ‘they have been vindicated by the re- turns on election day. When these straw votes are taken to republican experts for comment they invariably say it's a reflex ot the wet and dry fight in this state. Contrary to expectations, the refer- endum on light wines and beer is cut- ting a figure in this campalgn which will make the final results on the governorship and senatorial contests difficult ta analyze. View of the “Neutral Drys.” Here, as in Indiana, one cannot overlook the sentiment of those more or less neutral drys who think law | enforcement on prohibition is often carried to extremes and that a modifi- cation of the Volstead act would do 1o harm to the fundamental princi- ple of prohibition. Should ghe proposed amendment to the state constitution be carried, it would, of course, be an open ques- tion whether the act of Ohio con- flicted with the federal Constitution | child. pnd with the Volstead law. But its significance would be bigger than that. As matters stand now, Ohlo has state laws for the enforcement of prohibition. An overwhelming victory for the beer amendment would be interpreted as a mandate from the people on the prohibition question as a whole and a weakening of the state enforcement machinery, » situation which would be parallel to_that of New Jersey. The wet and .dry issue is cgmpl(- | democrats trying to discover a trend cating the party fights. The demo- crats will benefit by the wet vote. 1f national issues had not been in- Jected the state would have giVem|yish to groom for the presidential Carmi Thompson a good sized vic- tory. The republicans will be lucky to win by 40,000, 5 Quick to Blame Administration. No matter what the result, the democrats will be quick to say the Harding administration has been re- pudiated, for there is little likelthood of a 400,000 victory or anything like it. Had the federal administration stayed out, as it did in the primaries, INTHIRD MARRIAGE . “No doubt I am awful until I get my ICE PICK BETWEEN SHOULDER BLADES; JEWELS MISSING CHICAGO, Octcber 28.—Mrs. C. E. Miller, who was awakened yesterday morning to find an ice pick between her shoulder blades, told police she belteved a dentist, formerly of France and sald to be a rejected suitor of Mrs. Miller, might have been responsi- ble for her experience. In addition to the slight wound inflicted, Mrs. Mil- ler told police jewelry valued at $1,200 was mssing. Nrs. Miller said she met the dentist in the west several years ago. She said he possesses a power that en- abled him to learn her most intimate plans and thoughts. C. E.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, October 28.—“There's this much to be said about marrying the same person three times, you are marrying the same set of faults. You know exactly what you are doing. There are no surprises.” It is with this cheerful philosophy that Jerome Uhl, painter and opera singer, sailed today for Rome, where he will marry, for the third time, Mrs. Elizabeth Norris Uhl, from whom he has been twice divorced. Their first marriage took place in 1903, when the bride, as the grand. danghter of the man who sold the locomotive works to Baldwin, direct descendant of the man for whom Nor- ristown, Pa., was named, was a leader in ‘Philadelphia society. 'Eleven years later Mrs. Uhl obtained a divorce be- cause she thought her husband pald more attention to his paintings than he did to her. In ]917 they encoun- tered. each other in Santa Barbara and were married again. Two years later Jerome Ubl went on the concert stage. -and Mrs. Uhl, deciding that If one talent was bad two were worse, | i obtained her second divorce in Cali- fornia. A few weeks ago Mrs. Uhl, while in Greenwich, heard her former hus- d sing. She congratulated him, apparently decided that a man h a volce like that might be for- given even if he devoted quite a lot of time to it. 2 It's Positively Last Time, “This third will be positively the We've always married each other, and divorce seems to be the worst habit we have. After all, divorce is not such a bad idea. Often’it is the omly thing that proves how strong a couple’s love really is. “She’s the most charming woman in the world, Mrs. Uhl. I am very happy her once more. It's something of a been divorced from you twice is ready to be your wife a third time. “This third marriage should: be the happlest of all. A first marriage is full of readjustments. A second is tull of exasperations, but the fact that you go into a third marriage with the same person proves that the readjustments are all made, the exasperations all obliterated and you're both set for a successful life Advocates Monogamy. “People ought to go into marriage, I am convinced, with the solemn re- solve to remain married forever. Let them get divorced if they will, but let them marry each other again after a few years separation and live Friends of the couple insist that their difficulties were about fifty- fifty. Mrs. Uhl, wealthy in her own right, could not see her husband working so hard as to neglect her. Jerome Uhl, earning a good income, could not see why he should idle he refuses to censure his wife-again- to-be.

We will not be up In_the clouds now, expecting the impossible. My daughtér Marion, now fifteen, has had a great deal to do with bringing us together again. I want my wife, she wants me and Marion wants us both. Even if this were the thirtieth instead of the third time, wouldn't that be reason enough? “As soon as I reach Rome we shall be married. I'll stop only long enough to buy the wedding ring. What's that? Oh, yes! A new ring every time. It signifies a new deal” (Copyright, 1022.) HUSBAND WINS DIVORCE. Ralph C.
