“Sen. Taft Will Be
Re-Elected"*
WASHINGTON, </P) — Labor
leader Dan Tobin said today his
present opinion is that Republican
Senator Taft will be re-elected
from Ohio.
Tobin, president of the AFL’s
teamster’s union and a powerful
figure in the Democratic party for
years, *is one of those working to
defeat Taft. He wrote his views
in his union’s monthly magazine,
The Teamster.
“At this moment,” Tobin said,
“it is my personal opinion that
Taft will be re-elected in Ohio to
the United States Senate.
“Taft has made one of the most
careful and strenuous campaigns
that I have ever known a Senator
to make in this country of ours.”
Joseph Ferguson, Ohio State
auditor, won the Democratic nom
ination and is Taft’s opponent in
the November general election.
