OHIO REPUBLICANS IIOI'K THEIR COMEBACK AT HAND ST A IK BEEN BEST PROVING GROUND PARTY VITALLTY DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES REGARDED AS EASY MEAT BETTING. HOWEVER' ST11J S to 3 AGAINST G. O. P. CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 15. Here tn Ohio, the Republicans are crawl ing out of their holes, sniffing the air, and trying to recall the sweet but long-forgotten sensations of victory. After six years of progressive, obscur ity, Ohio Republicans hope that their time has come. And well tliey might, if any Re publicans have grounds for hope. In the first place, Ohio Is the best pos sible proving ground of the Republi can party's remaining vitality. It Is central and representative of the country, it contains a large farm and industrial vote. Its Republicanism una once of the solid, or Warren Q. Harding type. And It Is one of the big northern .states the Republicans must recapture this year If they are to get somewhere in 1040. Purti ermore, the local situation, by oil the rules of the past, should be propitious to the Republicans' 'hopes. To be sure, the new depres sion, which first wakened them from their long coma, has now oeen Inter dupted by the stock market boom. But the boom has not yet been re flected In Colo's business. Then, with bad times to beat, the Ohio Democrats are offering the elec torate a startlngly unappetizing se lection of candidates. Most celebrat ed among them Is the slick, devious, bouncing little tree surgeon, Martin L. Davey, present governor of the state. The history of his administra tion might be written under the title of "All Baba and the Forty Dav ey Henchmen." At Columbus the state capltol swarms with lobbyists and parasites, all battening richly on the people's government. The Davey organization Is drenched with liquor, and smeared with a road -surfacing preparation called "hot mix." Davey, whose use of troops against the C. I. O. in the little steel strike has earned him the hatred of the liberal element In his party. Is run ning for re-election. He Is given just better than an even change against his opponent for the nomination, State National Committeeman Char les Sawyer, an able man but no great vote-getter. The Davey-Sawyei contest Is tearing the democracy U. pieces. And if Davey Is nominated, the Republican gubernatorial candi date will probably have the support of tiie C. I. O. leaders, who hate Davey more than any other politician in the country. . (Continued on Psge Pen.) MARTIN UNABLE MEET FARLEY IN PORTLAND SALEM, July 15. (JP) Governor Charles H. Martin said yesterday "Im portant matters of state business de manded my attention In Salem Fri day morning" would prevent him greeting Postmaster General James A. Farley at Portland.

He recently declined two Jnviu tlons to visit President Roosevelt In California for the same reason.

An electric storm hit the Ap plegate district of the Rogue River national forest near the California line this afternoon and Immediately set a forest fire, headquarters here reported In mid-afternoon.

Scores of lightning-caused forest fires were being combat ted today as the second series of electric storms in two consecutive days scattered blazes throughout the timber lands of southern Oregon early last evo nlnR. - With' weary crews fighting the fires In all parts of the forests, grave concern was shown by forest service executives when they received a weather bureau forecast of more electric storms this afternoon and evening.

Moore was taken to the Kerby Peak lookout station, where a first aid crew arrived with him at 10 last night. Faced with a pouring rain and a six-mile hike over tor tuous trails, his companions made him as comfortable as possible for the night at the lookout station. Early tbls morning a patrol of 12 men reached the station to take Mr. Moore out of the forest on a stretcher. He was to be brought to Sacred Heart hospital here.

There were 22 new fires on the Rogue River national forest, the two largest, about an acre each, being In the Applegate district. All were said to be under control. Heavy rains In some areas helped the fire fighters. The 32 fires were divided as .fol lows: Eight in the Lake of the Woods district, eight In the Union Creek district and six in the Applegate district. By a curious circumstance, the Butte Falls district escaped without a fire ,the storms circling ground the area. light All Night. Crews from both the national and state forest service were held on the fire lines all night and most of them were working feverishly today to get the blazes out before the predicted storms struck again this afternoons Of the state forest fires, three were above Union Creek, and one each In the Evans Creek, Beagle and Cleveland Ridge districts. The state forest service was utiliz ing Its own patrols and the Wlmer and Presoott CCC camps for its flre-flghting forces. District Warden Dwight Phipps was on duty night and day. hastening from one fire to another to check operations. By the AMorlated Pres Rising humidity and generally Im proved weather conditions came to the aid today of hundreds of weary men fighting to save western Oregon forest from the menace of upwards of 150 fires, most of them caused by lightning storms which crackled out of a record-breaking heat wave.

It was like a throwback to the Halcyon days when Jimmy Walker was mayor, when Lindbergh first flew the Atlantic, Ederle conquered the English channel, Byrd flew across the North Pole, and the canyons of the financial district echoed with cries of greeting to the Intrepid airmen. , City Screams Praise For seventeen minutes the time It took the procession, of cars to reach city hall downtown New York screamed Its praise for the multi millionaire Texas sportsman and his mates and showered the men with ticker tape, tore up and emptied from the wlndowa of the world's greatest skyscrapers telephone books, old stationery, letters, nowspapera. Clerks, stenographers, business men, brokers and bankers, thrilled by Hughes amazing feat of girdling the globe In 3 days, 19 hours and 8 minutes, grew sentimental and de lirious. Five years ago today, some of them might have remembered, the town was In something of the same state ot mind as Wiley Post's Winnie Mae roared down to a landing at Floyd Bennett field to hang up a record of 7 days, IB hours and 49 minutes which stood until Hughes broke It yesterday. Tliminands Stare Only, this new record seemed In credible. The thousands of men. women and children. Jammed around the Battery, Bowling Green and Broadway' sldowalks, stared at the tall, thfn Hughes, at his four smil ing companions, and yelled their greetings. Restaurants, crowded during the lunch hour, emptied magically. Men and women sat on ledges of build ings high above the procession. The storm of ticker tape, fluttering down ward in long spirals, the shredded paper, the fluttering flags and oan- ners and the constant roar of voices seemed to bewilder the filers at rirst. Hughes, wearing an oxford gray suit, a wmte shirt and black tie, had slept more than 13 hours. Pale and a little Jumpy he was, never theless, fresh. He rode In the first car. Lieut. Thoma J. Thurlow, TJ. S. A., navigator, rode In the front seat of the second car. The other navi gator, Harry P. M. Connor, sat with Ed Lund, flight engineer, and Rich ard R. Stoddart, on the rear seat. The wives of Thurlow, Stoddart and Connor, and Thurlow' boy. Tommy, 3. rode in tho next car. Crowds Swarm In As the party reached the city hall fresh, crowds came swarming In from the section around Brooklyn bridge, the court house district and from streets and offices block away. When the fliers and their wives were seated, Mayor La Guardla, who had greeted the men Informally yes terday at Floyd Bennett field, shook their hand. The whole city and the world, as well, was full of admiration for their feat, he said. "I watched the progress of your flight lrom the time you left New York, and not a word I can say," the mayor continued, "can describe my feelings or the feelings of . our people of New York. It seem to me that such a flight a your must bring the people of the world closer together In a bond of amity. And nothing that one man or one group of men can do by force would mar that bond. . From the city ball, the filer, still escorted by Orover A. Whalen, head of the world's fair, 1939. were whisk ed uptown to the Metropolitan club in rirth avenue, Streets were Jammed with crowds shouting greetings to the men and their wives.
