HUflVER AND LIQUOR ARE ISSUES IN OHI Senator McCuHoch, Dry, Re- lies on Women and Rural Votes for Victory. By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, November 4.—Ohio was writing its decision today on a sena- torial contest which brought prohibi- tion and the record of the Hoover ad- ministration squarcly to the front. Senatc: Roscoe C. McCulloch sought election to the post he now holds by virtue of appointment on the strength of the administration’s policies, and emphatically declared himself in favor of enforcement of prohibition. rt J. Bulkley, a Cleveland attor- ney, running on the Democratic ticket, rested the outcome on his advocacy of repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Hefl ‘;ln eondemned the Hawley-Smoot ta Political obszrven agree that the re- sult of this contest and the scramble ional seats will record Ohio’s views on the Hoover administra- tion and prohibition. Bulkley was con- ceded to have the edge in the cities, but Republicans were counting on the rural dry vote and the fact that women for the first time were voting in an out-and- out wet-and-dry contest to turn the tables in favor of McCulloch.

EARLY VOTING LIGHT AT MICHIGAN POLLS Wet-Dry Fight and Amendment for Reapportionment Prin- cipal Issues. By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, November 4.—Light voting characterized the early hours of Mich- igan’s election today, although lifting of a heavy fog which blanketed the lower part of the State this morning was expected to encourage heavy bal- loting for an off-year electon. A wet-and-dry fight, with William A. Comstock, Democratic nominee for Governor, urging repeal of the eight- eenth amerdment and State and na- tional referenda, and a State-wide fight over a constitutional amendment pro- viding for leflahflve reapportionment on a populal , were the issues of principal tnuru\‘,.

DANVILLE, Va., November d—m' first arrest in connection with house stoning and shooting into the homes of non-union textile workers was made last night when Robert Rickets was jailed on a charge of shooting into the residence of B.

He got out of bed, sscured his | shotgun and returned the fire. Two more shots came from the machine, which then drove up the street, turned around and again pasced his house, stopping several houses away.

No matter what the mood of the electorate s to- day it cannot be translated into actlon until a year from next December unless, of course, a special session of Congress is called—something which is unlikeiy except for an emergency. ‘This 13-month lapse has been the subject of much debate in Congress and has been considered in the form of a constitutional amendment which has twice obtained the necessary two- thirds vote in the Senate. but has been killed in the House of Representatives, If adopted by three-fourths of the States as well as Congress it would have provided for the laklnl of office in January of all members of the House of Representatives elected this week as well as one-third of the Senators who are up for election today.

Under the proposed amendment the so-called short session of Congress, which begins next month and auto- matically expires on March 4, would be abclished. Congress instead would in January and could stay in session for two years. The plan was on the ground that men who had been rewdhud at a November election would in_power throughout an c)dminnoll:onzm-,uumm ‘Thus Congress elected in Novmm naa. meets in regular ses- sion next month and can adopt legisia- tion until March 4. “Lame Ducks” Able to Vote.
