The alarming progress which FREQ
Love doctrines are making in Ohio is in
dicated by the fact that at recent cleo
ton in Berlin Heights, the Free Love
party elected it's entire ticket in the face
Of the most strenuous opposition of the
same men left in that locality. In view
of this and other facts, the Cleveland
Herald says:
The case of Berlin is sad one, and
the respectable portion of its inhabitants
are entitled to the sympathy of all good
citizens. 1t is one of the most charm
