Columbus, o., June S.-The Anti

to support Gov. Harris and support
him enthusiastically" says Wayne B

there seems little chance for change
In attitude" he adds. Agitation over
the liquor question has reached the
point where It cannot be kept out OF
the Ohio campaign.
The fact that this is presidential
year. that state campaign of un
usual importance is already on, does
not seem to disconcert the Anti.Saloon
league leaders. A United States sena

chosen by the legislature elected this

for renewed temperance campaign
next winter, a campaign in which they
will ask that women be permitted to
vote at elections relating to the sale OF
liquor.
On the other hand the liquor inter.
ests are lining up their forces as
never before. Liberal leaders are per.
fecting an organization of and are well
started in the raising OF an immense
campaign fund. They propose to take
real part in the political contest in
