VOTERS SEEN IN REVOLT AGAINST PARTY IN POWER ¥wo Polls Indicate Minority Can- didates Have Edge Over Opponents. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Stafl Correspondent of The Star COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 18.—All signs point to a political revolt in Ohio this Fall. If a wet Democratic Sen- ator s elected here, as now seems not enly possible but probable, it will not e because the voters are enamored of the Democrats so much as they are *off” the Republican party. A desire to vote “against” something #eems to animate the voters. Many of them, in the senatorial and in sev- eral of the congressional elections, are going to register a protest against national prohibition. Others will vote agains tariff law, which, n‘y.u!,: n:?powlu with a mmg Republicans out here. And a very number will, in casting their bal- protest against hard times, un- oyment and the drought.

Under the spur of the Federal Government's suggestion and example, the committee hopes to see a vast new program of construction arising throughout the country. Ohio As An Example, A primary concern of the committee, it was indicated, is to urge the stre: ening of State agencies looking to the solution of the unemployment lem so that they will be organized down to include the smallest communities in the scope of the construction program.

FIVE CENTS IN WASHINGTON AND SUBURBS * ‘ TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE o e — — 7 PROMIITION POL OF PRESS HALTED Woodcock Fears Question- naires of Bureau Likely to Be Misinterpreted. ‘The Prohibition Bureau'’s plan to poll the American press on its opinion of the Eightcenth Amendment and Vol- stead act was ordered abandoned yes- terday by Amos W. W. Woodcock, prohibition director, who explained that the purpose of the inquiry might be misunderstood. As a result, letters are being sent out to 3,000 editors asking them to ignore a questionnaire which was mailed to them earlier in the week, asking whether their paper favored the Eighteenth Amendment and Volstead act, opposed them, or were neutral Fear Misinterpretation. In view of the fact that prohibition is & dominant political issue at present, the Prohibition Bureau was afraid the poll might be interpreted as an attempt to sound out public opinion for political purpoges. “I think we made a mistake in send- ing out this questionnaire. I am afraid that its purpose may be misunderstood and the easiest way out, therefore, is to recall it.” The questionnaire really was s brief letter. It had been sent fo the editors of dally newspapers throughout the country.. Requesting the editors to ig- nore their personal feeling and give only the attitude of their papers, it put the following three questions: “1." Are you supporting the eight- eenth amendment and Volstead act? “2. Are you opposing the eighteenth amendment and Volstead act? “3. Are you neutral?” Col. Woodcock was in Chicago when the questionnaire was mailed by the re- search division of the Prohibition Bu- reau. He had approved it, but when he returned to Washington yesterday de- cided after a conference with members of his staff that it should be recalled. The replies were to have been used in the bureau’s dry educational campaign. Through the police powers that are invested in his large staff of enforce- ment agents, Col. Woodcock expects successfully to dry up the importan sources of commercial liquor. But the tullest measure of enforcement will not be realized, he said, until the American public has been re-educated to believe .| that “alcohol as a beverage is bad physically and economically. Praises Metropolitan Police. ‘The prohibition director praises the enforcement activities of the police in . As in New York, he said, he found the local police co-operating with Federal enforcement agents as much as could be expected. “But,” he was asked, “if it is true that the police of New York and Chi- cago, two of the wettest spots in the country, are co-operating so efficiently, what hope can there be for better en- forcement than we now have?” “Largely through education,” answered. “My men are efficient. I have confidence that we can stop the commercial end of the liquor trade. I hear, for instance, that there are open saloons in Newark and Hoboken. We can get at those places and we will.
