Hanna its financier and commander
marshal was considered we'll nigh per-
feet. But it has been surpassed by the
object of Wayne Wheeler and the lit
tie coterie OF anti-saloon league fight
ers who stand beside him at Columbus.
Comparison Of Machines.
The machine of Hanna and Dick
was years in building. The anti-sal-
DON league of which Wheeler is the
Ohio chief, has also been years in maxi
ing, but no such pains have been eX-
pended in its construction. The state
organization it is true, has been care
fully evolved. but it was a close cor
poration. and but few men are near
the center of power.
It is the county unit that causes Won
derment It is of spontaneous growth,
and is often bought into being quite
independently OF the anti-saloon
league. It does not remain so for any
length of time, however. for it is glad
to avail itself of the experience OF Mr..
Wheeler and his state organization.
History of the movement in one
particular county may be cited to show
the political wisdom of M. Wheeler
and his friends and the manner IN
which the system may be worked cut

ignored preachers, prohibitionists and
women.
I'm after practical politicians he
said.
Everything was done in secret A
campaign leader was chosen in every
township and ward. These found
workers under them for every pre-
cinct. The precincts were subdivided
and in a city men were given charge
of blocks. At a signal these men
started out and took poll of the
county.
So. thoroughly was the work done
that the entire county and city were
covered in two days. With this as
basis work was begun on the petitions.
A squad of skilled men was sent in
to the county by the state league.
They were fortified by the poll
books. and went directly to the dry
voters to get signers. Few were ask
ed to sign who refused. The saloon
keepers. having heard rumors so Of
ten. had grown to believe that there
would be no election ami were .startl
ed when the petitions were filed.
! The election has not yet been held
but the county is in the midst of
sharp campaign. Speakers are being
brought in, armed with arguments
which have been found most effective
elsewhere.
Old Methods Abandoned.
| In many of the counties there ha:
been abandonment of the method!
which characterized the movement il
it's earlier stages. Five and six years
ago the work was almost entirely lief
to the preachers and the known tenn
perance workers. Now in Ohio it i
