Wadsworth Jr., Republican Wet, heretofore regarded almost as much of a New York institution as Governor Smith, came down to the Bronx with a plurality of 250,000.

Cox, Democrat, was a popular Governor but a Presidential failure even in his own state. And so last week Ohio elected to his third term Governor Alvin Vic Donahey, Democrat, father of ten Children, who employs convicts about his house.
