Ohio, traditionally a pivotal state in the outcome of the presidential' race, promises to more than uphold that tradition next year, fii fact,! a political forecaster would be nearer right in summing up the 1936 political situation, if he said, "As Ohio goes, so goes the nation", to' paraphrase an old adage usually applied to Maine. Whether Ohio' will ride on the Roosevelt band wagon, or whether Republicans have' a chance to capture the state rests largely on the outcome of the race for Democratic nomination as governor, a contest which seems to lie between Martin L. Davey, present incumbent, and Charles Sawyer, former lieutenant governor. - Davey. at the start of his tur bulent administration, clashed violently with the New Deal over relief administration, creating a sharp political rift. He is al?o at odd3 with Ohio's senior senator, Robert J. Bulkley. Even though thi3 int-rr.al discord is prevented from breaking into open warfare, the 'on will hardly contribute to the harmony of Ohio Democrats .3 need a united front to carry the pivotal Buckeye state.

The committee In charge had given some attractive stage settings that made the background of the play most appropriate with the old fash ioned furniture of the earlier years. Teh cast of the play had been well chosen and all of the young people acquitted themselves splendidly in the roles assigned to them and show ed real ability in the presentation.
