WHEN CANTON.
WILL C0"DRY"
The Day is Still in the Far Distant
Future. Says Rev. Purley
A. Baker.
ANTI-SALOON LEADER IN The CITY.

Rev. p. A. Baker, state secretary Of
the Anti-Saloon League, stopped of IN
Canton few hours Monday for visit
with the local manager, w. B. Judd.
Rev. Baker delivered lecture in
Rarnesville Sunday on the work of the
organization and Monday took advant-
are of the opportunity to look over
the ground in this city.
In conversation with News-Demo-
crat reporter, Rev. Baker staid that,
while the Canton organization was
strong and doing excellent work, the
city was long way from being ripe
for total wiping out of the liquor
tra'hc. He said that Canton people in
general were too fond of their grog"
to enable the league to do such effect
i've work as is being done in some 9TH
er cities. He said, however, that Co
luInhus was worse than Canton, and
decraled that to be the worst city in
the state from the standpoint of the
league.
Rev. Baker stated that 10S out J52
towns in Ohio which have held special
elections have gone dry" and he sx-
pressed great confidence that many
more would do so this year Rev. Baker
has little hope Of Canton going dry for
many years to come and said that
many people who were in sympathy
with the movement would not avow
The principles they believed In because
of fears of business losses. He de-
clared that this feeling is giving way.
Local option elections are expected
to take place in Wooster, Orrville and
New Waterford next month, as the
district manager, w. B. Judd, has been
very active in those towns of his dis
trict
Rev. Baker is satisfied that the work
in this city is going on as rapidly as
could be expected and has hopes that
Canton may some time, in the distant
future, be added to the list of those
cities which have voted dry"
Rev. Baker and other league men
say that his visit to Canton has no
special significance as regards the
work here.
