The Ohio campaign was marked
perhaps by more extensive and
intensive attention from periodicals
than any other that has been part
OF this years programme. This was
partly due, no doubt. 70 the fact that
the issue was very live one In Ohio,
violently opposed BY the liquor inter

consciousness with euddenness
that was stimulating. And partly due,
too. to the fact that the press bureau
