concerned Cincinnati has been walled in.
Governor Foster, in his bold assumption Of
leader on the liquor taxation and sunday
issues, and his heated embrace OF the radi.
cnl temperance element has practically
left Cincinnati ''out in the cold" or per

square himself with his constituency

the River and Harbor bill. His action on
that measure has been rather boon ~ him,
