Davey Enters Race In Ohio With Blast At Gov. Bricker Tree Surgeon Is Eighth Seeking Democratic Party Nomination By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March «.— Martin L. Davey, twice governor' of Ohio, jumped into the crowded race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination last night with a bitter indictment of Gov. John W. Bricker and a prediction that his party could win if “reasonably united.” “The desire to round out my career of high public service is per haps the greatest reason why I am willing to De a candidate,” he said. The former governor declared his Republican successor was “at least 300,000 votes weaker than when he was elected in 1938,” and added: “All the Democrats need in Ohio to win the election of 1940 is a rea sonably united party.” Mr. Davey’s primary light with Charles Sawyer of Cincinnati, who won the nomination for governor in 1938, caused factional wounds which have been slow in healing. Mr. Sawyer announced recently that in an effort to unite party fac tions he would not run for Gov ernor this year. Arthur L. Limbach, Democratic State Executive Committee chair man, remarked "it is too bad” Mr. Davey had not seen fit to follow Sawyer’s example "with reference to party harmony and the governor ship.” “Let it be understood,” Mr. Davey’s statement said, "that I shall not fight any Democrat, but shall concentrate all the attack on Ohio’s present hypocritical, unreliable, stuffed shirt and heartless governor. “Mr. Bicker is the worst example of intellectual dishonesty of any man who has been in public office in Ohio during my time.” The Kent tree surgeon, who was the State’s chief executive from 1935 to 1938, becomes the eighth to compete for the Democratic nomi nation in the May 14 primary. The others include William J. Kennedy, former Secretary of State; Herbert C. Duffy, former Attorney General, and Harold G. Mo^jer, former United States Representative at large. The Democratic nominee is al most certain to oppose Gov. Bricker, who virtually has been assured the Republican nomination.

Little Congress Manages to Elect But Not Quietly With the aid of a tightly locked ballot box bound in steel, under the watchful eye of three specially ap pointed sergeants at arms, Capitol Hills “Little Congress” last night successfully held its election with out charge of fraud. Nathaniel Turnbull, a secretary to Senator Andrews of Florida, was named speaker on the second bal lot. At a previous election all bal lots were thrown out amid noisy argument after poll judges declared a “fraud” had been involved. A fist fight between a defeated candidate for the speakership and the supporter of another furnished the principal excitement of last night’s session. To quell it was the first official duty of the organiza tion’s newly elected sergeant at arms, Arthur Sakowski of Pennsyl vania, elevator operator at the new House Office Building. Named clerk of the Little Con gress, which is composed of legis lative employes, was Miss Marian Dusheck, a secretary to Represent ative Henshaw of California. Mr. Turnbull won out over Wally Dingus of Texas, William Broome of Mississippi and Carl Lutz of Indi ana. Vote on a runoff ballot was: Turnbull, 78; Dingus, 62. Mr. Din gus is a folding room clerk.
