WHEELER KNOCKS.
Wayne b. Wheeler of the Anti-Sa-
loon league, last evening said:
we have been receiving informa-
tion from Cleveland, Toledo, Mans
field, Bellaire and many other places
that a drink goes with signature
on the petition against the Rose bill.
Petitions are left in saloons and are
signed by any person who wants a
free drink. A lumber dealer from Bel
mont county at the lumberman's con-
vention said they we're getting boys
to sign and having women sign also,
putting on the paper their initials,
not indicating their sex. We expert
enced the same kind Of work when
the Clark bill and the Beal bill were
before the legislature. We found on
one set OF petitions single signature
30 times. Members Of the general
assembly will doubtless scan these
petitions that are presented against
the Rose bill and In most instances
they will realize decided contrast
in the class Of citizens represented"
Senator Lamb, OF Toledo, corrobor-
ates Mr.. Wheeler's statement that
drinks are being bartered for sigma
lures to remonstrances. He said yes
terday when he received a number OF
remonstrances that he saw the same
kind OF papers lying on saloon bars
IN Toledo and understood drinks were
given to men who signed them.
