The coils are Tightening about the
Democratic temperance conspirators
in Ohio who desire to see Demo-
cratic success. The Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union of Cleveland,
Ohio, has awakened to the error of
mixing their moral cause with a po-
litical one, and has withdrawn from
the State and National Union. Be-
sides this, the congregation of Brother
Leonard, the Prohibition candidate
for Governor, is considerably torn up
over the candidacy of the pastor. The
official board of the church has by a
majority vote allowed him the Stree
dom of his conscience" but it is a
notable fact that two Republican
members of the board refused to vote.

vote would not seriously cripple the
Republican cause this year, is sign
that no true Republican will be de
luded into voting for the Democratic
