Mr.. p. A. Baker superintendent of the
National League, he.will soon sys-
tematize things here. Yesterday

reorganization of the league in this
state was laid at meeting of the
headquarters committee in the office
of Thomas H. Balm, attorney for the
league.
Mr.. Cherrington is said to be not
only vigorous worker and well
posted in political tactics, but
strong organizer He will make his
fight here for local option and will

ment for measure of this kind to

tilted with the work of the league
Three local option laws are on the
statute books in Ohio, which will be
used by Mr. Cherrington as models
for the framing of similar legislation
in this state. One relates to munich
palities, another to townships and
another to districts to be described
by residents asking for a special
election covering the subject Local
option legislation will be the weapon
with which Mr. Cherrington will en-
deavor to deal the liquor traffic in
this state a death blow and it is said
he will go into every city and town
in the state. organizing for the fight
before the next legislature meets.
Mr.. Cherrington succeeds DR.. J.
c. Thoms, for many years superin-
tendent of the Washington Anti-Sa-
loon League. He is 20 years of age
