In their struggle to offset these hln‘! | dicaps, the Democrats are centering their attentions on the cities, hoping | to make such sensational gains as to | overcome the Hoover strength’ in the country and land the State in the Dem- | | ocratie column for Smith, where it went | in 1916, on a different set of issues, for ‘Wilson. In 1920, choosing between two favorite | sons. Ohio gave Harding a plurality of 402,000 over Cox, and in 1924 Coolidge | polled 340,000 more than .Davis and | La Follette together. Thus if the Dem- | ocrats can corral all the votes cast four years ago for both Davis and La Follette, they still would be far short of & majority. The remainder they hope to make | up from several sources. They will talk ' farm relief in the country sections, where many votes were cast against Hoover in the Republican preconvention | primary. In the cities they expect to | 'get a certain number of Republican wets. They also count on a statewide turnover in the negro vote, estimated at 125,000 or more. At this writing the Democratic managers are predicting that this vote will go almost solidly for Smith, but the Republicans are | | fully alive to what is happening among | negro voters, and say that before elec- . tion day the bulk of negro defections | will have been cancelled. It is to Cleveland, the country’s fifth | | largest city. that the Democrats look | | for their greatest gains. They say they | | foresee a Smith plurality of 50,000 or | | more in Cleveland, and the Republicans concede that the going there will not | be so easy for Hoover. The city has a | | very large percentage of voters of ""‘J | elgn extraction, who agree with the | | Democratic nominee on _prohibition, | |and who are mostly Catholic. It like- | wise has a large negro population, and the Republican organization there has been having trouble keeping its own | leaders in line. La Follette carried the | city in 1924, and the La Follette-Davis combined vote was 24,000 in excess of that cast for Coolidge. Cincinnati Doubtful. Cincinnati, normally a Republican stronghold, has long counted the Ger- man element one of the strongest in its civic life, and is rated one of the wettest cities in the Midwest. Co- lumbus_and Toledo likewise are nor- ! mally Republican, but this year each | of them is under the scrutiny of a | strong Republican city organization.

The fight, how- ever, ended there, for the platform gained approval on the convention floor without a dissenting vote. At the conclusion of the convention W. A.

Both parties. of course, have their State troubles, but they are perhaps more conspicuous among the Demo- | crats. They center largely on prohibi- tion. The State elects a governor and two Senators this year, and the guber- natorial nominee on the Democratic ticket with Smith, Martin L. Davey, is a dry. So is the retiring governor, Vic Donahey, who. like James M. Cox, has been one of those Democrats with so large a personal following that he was able to get himself elected repeatedly to the governorship in the face of the Ohio habit of voting Republican in the national elections.
