Goth Major Parties Are Bat
tling for Victory at Polls
Today.
By the Associated Press.
Ohio's broad political arena, scene
of preliminary skirmishing for many
months, today became a central the
ater of operations for warring factions
Of both major parties.
Observers in the Capital awaited
the results as voters of the fourth
most populous State balloted in the
Democratic and Republican primaries.
The total vote was expected to approxi
mate 1,360,000, a record.
Voting on State Offices.
In addition to presidential entries
there were complete slates for State,
legislative, judicial and county offices.
On the Republican side the prime
Struggle was the presidential contest
between Senator Borah of Idaho and
Robert A. Taft, “favorite-son” choice
of the Buckeye State's Republican or
ganization.
The ••favorite-son” entry was as
sured at least 17 of the 52 convention
delegates because Taft was entered in
all districts, while Borah forces were
entered in only 35 contests.
On the Democratic side President
Roosevelt was opposed by Henry
Breckinridge of New York, who pre
viously lost to the Chief Executive in
Maryland and Pennsylvania. Breckin
ridge seeks only presidential preferen
tial votes and Is not entered against
the President in the separate balloting
lor national convention delegates.
Borah also is entered in today’s West
Virginia primary election, which is
expected to bring out 400,000 voters
because of a struggle between the
State’s two Democratic Senators, Rush
D. Holt and M. M. Neely.
Borah's only opponent there is Leo
J. Chasse of Milwaukee. Wis. On the
Democratic side President Roosevelt
Is opposed by Joseph A. Coutremarsh
of New Hampshire.
Other Developments.
Besides the ballot box tests, there
were several other political develop
ments.
Col. Frank Knox of Chicago carried
his candidacy for the Republican presi
dential nomination into Oregon last
hight and assailed the New Deal.
*‘I challenge the New Deal, as an
expression of reaction.'' he declared at
• a Republican rally in Portland, "be
cause in every major policy it has pro
duced it has sought to shear away the
powers of the States and of the people
themselves and arrogate those powers
to a bureaucracy dominated by an
erbitrary Executive. * * * The New
Deal has produced confusion.”
Secretary Roper, in a radio address
last night appealed to business to avoid
'■vituperation” and to discourage "all
efforts to create unjustifiable political
friction” during the presidential cam
paign.
"It should be the endeavor *f all.”
he said, “to see that the economic and
social issues involved are presented
fairly and thoroughly to the A; ter .tan
people.”
Asks Specific Criticism.
After describing New Deal efforts to
solve depression problems, he said that
if there is disagreement to specific
policies, the “cirtlcism should be forth
right and specific.
"It is destructive.” he said, “to mas
querade such objections behind the
cloak of generalized attacks which
charge that unAmerican or undemo
cratic principles and objectives in any
way motivate procedures in the opera
tions of the National Government.”
Aside from the primaries, today's ac
tivities included Democratic State con
ventions in Delaware and North Da
kota and a Republican convention in
Vermont.
Both parties held conventions yes
terday in Wyoming.
The Democrats instructed their 12
delegates with six votes, to work for
the renonmination of President Roose
velt. while the Republicans chose an
Uninstructed delegation.
