Hurtling is gradually Tunning away from Cox in the Cin cinnati Kn'inirer poll of southwestern Ohio. lp to Wednesday a total of M51 voters had been polled, of whom at least half reside in rural sections outside of Cincinnati and Hamilton county. While Harding led In Ham ilton county (Cincinnati). The per centage of his margrin over Cox is Kreater outfiide that county, runniner Cox an exceedingly close race in some strongly democratic communi ties. The last figures jdve Harding 4S57 and Cox 3594. Republicans who will vote the democratic national ticket this year number 265, and democrats who will ro to the republican ticket number S04. The women's vote in the same poll shows 213 for Harding and 161 for Cox. ' Even money is now bet In New Tork-that Harding will carry Ohio by 40,000 and odds of 8 to 6 that he will carry the state. Odds on Harding; Gain. "At the same time, even money Is offered In New York that Harding will carry that state by 200.000 and the odds on the outcome of the presi dential contest have shifted from 4 to 1 on Harding: to 5 to 1. The repub lican drift In New York is so per ceptible that odds are now offered on Judge Nathan L. Miller, republican, who nominated Herbert Hoover at the Chicago convention, being elected governor. Odds on Miller are 8 to 1. Indiana, which was classed as doubtful for several weeks, appar ently has switched Into line for Hard Ins and probably the entire repub lican state ticket, according to care ful polls made In widely separated sections during the last few days. Senator Watson, who has been rated as weaker than either the national or state tickets, seems to have the edge on Thomas Taggart, the democratic candidate. . World Seems Distrusted. . The democratic New York "World, supporting Governor Cox, pays its repeets to both the republican and democratio parties today, saying: There is no public respect for either the democratic or the republican party as such and no large measure of public confidence in either of them." j But what Is more Interesting in the World editorial, . incidentally, is the startling admission on the part of this Cox newspaper that the demo cratic nominee was put over by cer tain big bosses. The World says: . "Governor Cox had a much stronger claim on the democratic nomination than Senator Harding had on the re publican nomination. His record as governor of Ohio gave him a status of his own in the San Francisco con vention, but what really nominated him was the determination of a lit tle group of democratic bosses to beat McAdoo because of quarrels and patronage." CONDEMNATION" OF MARKET COMMISSION ACT CRITICISED. Jared Wenger Says Proposed Meas- " ure Will Help to Keep Xon. j : I'artisan League Out. Criticism of the action recently taken by the board of directors of the Oregon State Betail Merchants' asso ciation in passing resolutions con demning the state market commission act is voiced by Jared Wenger, secretary-manager of the Greater Port land association, in a letter sent yes terday to the retail merchants of the Mate. Mr. Wenger is also secretary of the Oregon Itetail Furniture Deal ers' association and assistant secre tary of the Oregon Ketail Clothiers' .association. "The. stand the writer takes In the -matter." wrote Mr. Wenger, "is that If by creating a state market director will provide the farmens with a capa ble leader who will place them on a better business basis, as has been done In California, It will be far cheaper for the state to bear the expense than for the merchants to face ruin. Fur tiler, does it not appear logical that a state director at this time would do much to keep the non-partisan league out of Oregon, for it should be re membered that California, h im a ntare market director; that the league has not entered that state, nor is it likely to, for the reason the farmers of Cal ifornia are already organized in their own co-operative marketing ex changes. "The Portland campaign to combat non-partisan leagueism is being con ducted in the interest of the entire Mate and as this matter has been be fore us since the early part of this year and the non-partisan league gen erally known for the past five years and also what co-operative marketin rias done for commercialism in Cali fornia, it seems strange that a secre tary of a merchants' body, unless he ,was ignorant of the facts, should per mit his board of directors, without first pointing out the dangers, to as fume the responsibility of condemn ing the state market commission act, 'the primary object of which was to keep the non-partisan league out of Oregon. It is further strange that any board of directors of any body should so misuse its power, which is inferred by the wording of the reso lution, to speak for the entire organ ization without first obtaining an ex pression from the body."
