FOR BIG DRY VICTORIES

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by Clark County Success,
Drys will Invade Mahoning and Montgomery
Even Franklin, CuYahoga and Hamilton
Counties will be Given a Chance to
Decide Question.

Columbus, o., March 31-The tenn
perance victory in Clark county
las set the wheels in motion for
local option elections in the big
counties of the state
Announcement was made at the
state headquarters of the Anti-Sa-
loon league that not even Cuyahoga
Hamilton and Franklin counties
can rest assured that there will be
no immediate effort to wipe the
saloons out under the Rose law. OF
the three big counties, however, il
is probable that Franklin, with a
population of close to 25OOO0 will
be invaded first
The result in Clark county has
determined the issue in Montgom-
cry as well as Mahoning counties.
Word was sent out to go forward
with the preliminary "dry' organi-
zation in Montgomery. This county
contains the city OF Dayton, with
more than 100000 population. The
campaign in Montgomery will mark
a new record in the temperance
movement OF the United States
Should It go "dry" Montgomery
will be the largest county in the
country, in point of population
where saloons have been banished
under local option laws.
Dayton Is the seat of powerful
brewery combine. Nevertheless, the
Anti,Saloon league figures on an
election some time in the early
SKINNER. Officers of the league say
they are assured of flattering finan-
cial support The organization, II
Is said, will be the most complete
the "drys" have put in the field in

law Particular attention will be

PERPETUAL BOOSTING

Ever since Marion has been in a
baseball league it has been the GUS
tom TO have a boosters day. A
number OF the people of the city are
boosters on that day and then they
quit for The rest Of the season. OF
course the men, who are financially
interested in baseball, appreciate the
efforts of this class OF persons on
the one day, but II is Ghe season
dam standing up for and supporting
the team, who is given the real appre-
oadon and whose efforts count for
most.
The same principle will apply to
THE city. For the past two weeks
a new project has been before the
people of Marion. There are some
who began boosting early and have
never ceased their elionts. There
are others who we're boosters while
the mass meetings were being held,
there are still Others whose enthusi-
asm lasted for a day or until they
had signed up the amount which had
been apportioned TO them and then
decided that the other fellows could
carry on the work. he effort of
these men was appreciated fully, but
they would have proven their right
10 citizenship in a city like Marion
and have been given a deal more OF
appreciation had they become boost
ers and untiring workers. In secur-
ing the Overland automobile works,
MARION needs the earnest, consistent
and persistent efforts OF every man
who ds able TO give boost, not
spasmodie shove, but good hard
pull nom the time the project was
undertaken until it is landed high
and dry
The crisis Is rapidly approaching.

election in Alahoning county, con-
tanning the city of Youngstown, will
be held early in May The work of
organizing has been going on in
Mahoning for weeks There was a
luil during the past week to await
on the result of the Clark county
contest. Now it is announced that
the circulation of petitions will be
started In Mahoning next week.
There, as in Montgomery county, the
temperance forces have been prof.
fered generous financial support.
The next election will be held In
Ross county. The requisite NUN.
Der OF signatures have been secured
and the petition win be filed Thurs
day Summit, Stark and Crawford
counties are down on the anti-sa-
loon list for quick action.
The start in Crawford, for years
particularly hostile to the temper
ance movement, was made this week
by Wayne b. Wheeler. f.. L. Dust
man and John White, from state
headquarters. The election In Stark
county win not be held until early
fall. The temperance leaders ex-
plain that Stark is "a very bad
spot and an unusual amount of
preliminary organization work will
be required.
An election in Erie county is prob
lematical The Antl-Saloon league
regards Erie as one OF the most
hopeless counties in Ohio. Nothing
has been done at state headquarters
Jas yet looking toward a contest in
that county.
Leaving his desk at league head
quarters, f. l.. Dustman spent yes"
terday in circulating among the sa..
loonkeepers of Columbus. Unknown
as temperance worker. he succeed
ed in drawing out proprietors and
bartenders on the result in Clark
county.
''What the saloonkeepers fear
most is the efforts of women" said
Dustman.
The Columbus liquor dealers fear
the tour OF Dustman means local
option election in this county.

saocKIrc THE PUBLIC

President TAFT has a very unique,
and withal a very successful meth
cd of Shaking up the public mind
and causing the people to sit up and
take scme notice of him. On the
day before he makes move, it is
announced that he is going ITO do
the opposite, then when the an
nouncement is made, the people sit
up and open their eyes. On Monday
1t was announced that the president
would not WELD the big stick over
congress i'm an effort to secure a re-
vision OF the tariff along the lines
which suit him. 1t was represented
that instead of using club on con-
gress TaAt proposed to stroke its
head and try persuasion, very much
che same as a man rubs the nose OF
a balky horse i'm an effort to draw
his attention and make him pull.
On tine day following this announce
ment, President Taft held confer
ence with Speaker Cannon, and
Congressman Payne and Dalzell and
informed them THAT they would have
come down off of their high horses
and give tariff revision bill which
would lower the rates on the neces-
stiles of Life and place the burden
upon those PERSONS who were. finan-
cially able to enjoy the luxuries.
This comes as a welcome an
nouncement to the people who are
content with the necessaries. 1t
will be all the more appreciated be-
cause III was not expected, lbut 1t
must be remembered that the thing
wldch Tart advocates has not yet
been attained. The president threat
ems to veto the bill, if it does not
meet his requirements. With all OF
dhe trust representatives in congress,
there is a possibility that, if the pres
ident is as good as his word, this
talif fight will end with big bunch
of talk and veto.

The big steel trust is threatening
to cut wages now. If the sugar trust,
the tobal'cO trust and Few of the
other big combines which will be
affe' ted by the Payne bill will get
real busy, they may be able TO head
of the president in his detemina-
ton TO have a tariff law which re-
duces rates. 1t is singular TACT
that the corporations did not get
busy with their wage cutting until
the Democrats pointed out in con-
gress that the Payne bill raised the
rates on the whole rather than low
cred them.

II now appears, according to the
statements OF the prosecuting attor-
ney OF Hamilton county, that in ad-
dition to manipulating the affairs of
Cincinnati as suited best, the organ
ization has been tampering with the
courts and has had the names Of only
such men as suited best placed in
the jury wheel. Things have come
to a pretty pass If the statements
made by the prosecutor to the court
be true. Even the courts have not
escaped the baneful influences Of
the organization which is recognized
as one Of the most corrupt in Ohio
politics.

CIeveuger Called Down.

Some OF the Republican papers OF
this state have been echoing the
senseless assertion OF Senator Clev-
enger that Governor Harmon's spe-
cial message on taxation sent to the
Legislature the last day of tie spe-
.cial session was means for political
effect
AIS Clevenger was given seat IN
the state senate to reward him
for Topping out OF the Democratic
panty into the Republican party only
a few years ago the Republican
editors OF the state are welcome to
all the comfort and consolation they
can get out OF the yenomous re-
marks OF a political renegade who
presumes now TO speak for their
party.
But not all the Republican papers
in Ohio are willing to let this bolt
ocrat act as their spokesman In the
state senate Even the Ohio State
journal, the most rabid of all raIbid
Republican organs In the state re-
buked the turncoat from Clinton
county, for this false and silly crit
icism OF Governor Harmon; in an
editorial from which we quote the
following:
''Senator Clevenger's charge that
the governors pressing or his taxa
ton measure was prompted solely
by political motives is not impress

revenues and legislative extraya-

Governor Harmon is going to pry
off the lid which has been down on
some of the state institutions and
already the fumes are beginning to
peImeate the whole state. 1t is an
unpleasant duty, but the public will
just have to hold its nose until he
gets through. The deodorizer OF a
good clean administration viii coun-

Soon it will be decided whether
this or some other city is to have
the factory, whether those skilled
mechanics are to come to Marion or
go to scme other city; whether Ahe
people of Marion are to receive the
benefits OF that fifteen thousand dol
lars addition to the pay roll each
week. or whether this money will
be spent in some ether Iity It is
time that the weaker brother was
being bolstered up and made TO see
the opportunity which presents itself.
You may have signed the amount
which has been apporioned to you,
you may even have gone the pro-
moters one better and doubled or
dhrlbbled the amount, but you have
not done your whole duty if you have
not volunteered your services to do
everything in your power to con-
vince the doubling ones that this is
purely a business proposition and
that they are proving stumbling
block to the interests of the city by
banging back and refusing to go
the way the crowd is going.

gance seriously threaten the states
finances and that, II the present dis
crepancy between income and outgo
is to be allowed to continue, some
such step as that urged by the gov
ernor is necessary. The Woods
bill was fair enough in its proV-
sions to receive the cordial support
OF a Democratic executive and Re-
publican house, and apparently for
no other reason than a short-sighted
political policy was blocked in the
senate, which put the interests of
the party, as 1t misunderstood them,
above the interests of the tax pay
ers 4"
This is the way all the fair-minded
voters i'm the Republican party, and
tax payers in particular regard the
governors action and the Republican
legislatures inaction.
On the theory that every knock

ton county by his unwaraanted at
tack on Governor Harmon succeed
ed only in making more conspicu-
ous the political duplicity of him

CleYenger continue to be one of
their spokesmen in the senate at the
regular session next year.

President Taft has decreed that
hereafter United States senators
shall not name judges OF the fed
eral courts. If this meant that tie
judgeships were to be taken out Of
politics, the people would hail the
announcement with delight. The
probability is, however, that 1t mere
ly means that the senators are to be
deprived OF this patronage and it is
10 be usuTped by Fne president
Even that, though, is better than
having the judgeships peddled around
by senator's who have bought their
way into the Washington millionaire
club.
