in this city for several ysass. writes
an interesting lettsr from that pay-
ticular section Of Uncle Sans do
main. and gives some details Of The
wet and dry fight in that state. ~
follows:
Just . few lines 70 tell you about
our recent election. or course you
have heard long ere this that Ohio
gave the vets . majority. At first
the vets came out vesy boldly and
said they carried the state By l00,-
900. but final returns showed they
had only . little over 5000 70 the
good. 80 you zee We are not beaten
so badly after all--but, OF course, too
badly. Home rule" won BY about
$4,000. The Anti-Saloon League
put up desperate fight but were de-
feated. Mr.. Wayne b. Wheeler. SUI
perintendent Of the Anti-Saloon Lea
que. informs US they are preparing
10 launch another vet and dry cam
paign In January 1915.
Six years ago. under local option,
Allen county gave the vets majori-
~ OF 81. This last election II gave
a dry majority OF over 1000 nice
gain. Even Lima. with her popula-
ton OF 10000 and seventy-six "a
looms gave le5 dry majority. no you
see Ohio Is on the right road. but has
Its goal yet 70 attain. We hope that
In 1915 we may be able TO put Ohio
in the dry column along with the
other sane states that are enjoying
peaceable prosperity. Every ono Of
ohio's eishty-eight counties gave .
dry majority. except three or four.
Hamilton county. Of which Cincin-
NATL is the county seat, was unani.
mously wet and this majority carried
the state.
Well. election news have Just
about stopped echoing and re-echo-
Ing through the minds Of the people,
possibly because they have . anoth-
er vital proposition on hand the
mouth and foot disease Of cattle. A
little breaking out Of the disease here
and there has caused great excite
ment and general alarm. with the
situation growing no better. One
dairyman at Toledo had over 100
fine blooded milch cows that became
injected and the state authorities is-
sued ON order that every one BE- KILL
ed. which was done. The state a.
praised each COW ct 70 nueh, vhicA
stsl BE- paid TO the owner. In differ.
snt parts OF the state the dissass has
been rampant. and even here In our
own county Of Allen.
The state game warden issued q
proclsmation requiring every county
in Ohio 10 be put under quarantine.
which order was put into effect Sat-
urday. November 18th. consequently
no hunting will be allowed this fall.
and not just few OF the 1900 fel-
lows that put si.25 each for . hunt
