Senator Willis, Republican nomi
nee for the Senate in Ohio, was in
Washington this week and declared
himself well pleased with the way
in which the campaign was develop
ing for him. He is opposed by for
mer Senator Atlee Pomerene. who
has opposition from the drys and
from organized labor. Senator Willis
insists that indications are favorable
to the election of the whole Republi
can ticket. He says that the people
have reached the conclusion that the
real issue of the campaign is the in
dorsement of the Coolidge adminis
tration. The people, he said, are
out to give the President their hearty
indorsement. Pointing out that for
mer Secretary of War Baker and
former Gov. Cox, leading Democrats
)f the Buckeye State, have both come
out in favor of cancellation of the
war debts owed the United States
by Great Britain. France, Italy, etc.,
and that none of the Democratic
candidates now running for office
have repudiated the stand of these
gentlemen on the debts, Senator
Willis said that the Republicans
welcomed this issue. The Republi
can party, he «eays, is strongly op
posed to debt cancellation.
Myers Y. Cooper, a successful
Cincinnati business man, is the Re
publican nominee for governor. He
is trying to upset Gov. A. Vic. Dona
hey, the Democrat who has made a
record for economy in the State and
who was elected in 1924 when the
State was going overwhelmingly for
Coolidge. If Mr. Cooper should be
elected in November, the presidential
aspirations of another Democrat
would collapse.
