Political conditions in the Buckeye
state this year are well suited to test
the wisdom of the nonpartisan method
of fighting the saloon. Party lines
will be ignored largely, as the Anti
Saloon League urges in such cases.
There will be tremendous landslide
from the Republican party. We shall
know later whether or not this will
be offset by the support which Gov.
Herrick will secure from saloon Demo

such inhuman monsters. There is too

This fgment of his disordercd mind constantly pursued Wood, rendering his life miserable Wood, counsel declared, suffered strange mental lapse from Jan. 30 to Feb. 5, two days after the murder, of which period he retained no recollec- ton.

 CHICAGO. May IT. = Although nc facts as yet have transpired to fully warrant the prediction. 1t is asserted both by members. of the Employers association and by the conservative element ir the ranks of tie teamsters that the strike will be called o6 prob ably within twenty-four hours.
 It Is not likely that any definite ac- ton looking to an adjustment of the trouble will be taken prior to the meet. ing of the national officers of the Teamsters' union which it is expected will be held here today.
 Chief among the causes which lead to prediction of | settlement are the firm stand taken by Mayor Dunne. when in conference with President Shea and oflcials of the local team sters' union be assured them that any further spread of the strike would cer- tainly make 1t necessary for him to call for troops.
 Warrants were sworn out by Super intendent of Compulsory Education Dodine for the ringleaders of the strikes" at the public schools and also for the parents of many Of the pupils whose children have not returned to school. The school oficIals decided to put down the school strikes" if it should be necessary to take several hundred pupils and their parents into the courts.
 Drivers for the musical instrument house of Lyon < Healy have struck because they had been ordered to de- liver goods to the boyectted storss.
