p. w. MARSH EXPLAINS
FIGHT ON IN NEWARK

"The fight now on in Licking county
and Newark, o., Is not a wet and
dry fight" says Pliny w. Marsh, at
torney for the Michigan Anti-Saloon
league. 1T is an opportunity for New
ark TO say whether she is going TO
stamp with approval the riot and
lynehing. by voting in again the sa-
loon element which brought about the
disgrace that Newark has been un-
der. She has shown herself TO be In
earnest In demanding better things by
the way in which she has handled
the lynchers. Six or seven OF them
have been sent TO the penitentiary TO
serve out sentences ranging from one
year to life.
This second test of her desire to be
right before the world is upon her. II
she will emphatically vote down the
element that disgraced her 1t will be
declaring 10 the world that she is
right at heart. Her citizenship may be
either wet or dry lut that Is neither
here nor there, she cannot .atford to
leave the saloon element and the
world In doubt as to her stand upon
that tragedy. She can never hope TO
claim the commercial respect of the
world and win business industries IL
she wlnks at matters In this contt>~
"The incoming administration has
unequivocally declared for the en-
forcement OF law and this viii show
that q real test of the county option
law will be given"
