BIGGEST CAMPAIGN
/ IN OHTO'S HISTORY
/ DRAWING TO CLOSE
State in Throes of Vote-Get-
ting Struggle of "Wets, !"
| "Drys," Sufragists and
| Ants.

COLUMBUS, o., Oct S0.-ohio voters
will 20 to the polls next Tuesday to cast
their ballots In the most important cleo
tion ever held in the State. Not only
are the voters to elect state, Congress
sional, county and judicial tickets, but
they are to decide the Statewide pro-
hlbltion and woman suffrage questions.
Party questions have been showed into
the background by the vets" and
"drys'" hght The usual question OF
"Who's to be our next GOVERNOR has
been replaced by "Will the State go
dry?" =
Here are few of the reasons for this
situation:
From three TO six times as much money
was spent by the state wet and dry"
organizations as was expended by the
Democratic, Republican and Bull Moose
state Committees combined in their eff
forts to elect their State and legislative
tickets.
Five times as many workers were en-
rolled In the wet" and "dry" armies
as were found in the three state politi-
cal organizations.
For every piece OF literature distrib-
uted by the three political parties at
least ten pieces were distributed by the
"wets" and "drys."
wet or dry" raised and spent about
$4,000 in their fight to write State
wide prohibition amendment into the
State constitution.
The "wets" made no announcement OF
the size of their campaign fund, but It
was reported to be around the Million
dollar mark
The constitutional amendment proposed
by the "drys" provides Statewide pro-
hlbltion. In opposition, the "wets" pre-
sented proposed amendment which re-
peals the Rose County option law and
prevents Statewide prohibition through
legislative enactment.
Two more proposed constitutional
amendments confront the voter. One pro-
vides for woman suffrage, the other writes
the Smith l per cent. tax law into the
constitution.
The suffragists have made deter
mined fight to carry the State, the ma
tlonal organization sending it's best speak
ers here, as the suffraglstS believe with
the vote in Ohio, the most Eastern State
to vote on the question, they will have
more chance for success when they move
On ne" IoTh anu oIner Eastern states
next year
Naturally, the prohibition issue was ex-
tended to the political arena. The Pro-
gressives, with James r. Garfield. former
Cabinet member under Theodore Roose-
welt, their candidate for Governor,
came out for Statewide prohibition and
woman suffrage.
The Democratic party, with Governor
James NJ. Cox as its candidate, ignored
both issues.
The Republicans, who have as their
Gubernatorial candidate Congressman
Frank B. Willis, took no sides on woman
suffrage, but adopted n liquor plank in
their platform which, after asserting that
Statewide prohibition is question for
the voters themselves to decide, declared
for strict law enforcement and for the
decentralization of liquor license boards,
which are now appointed by the State
government in each wet" county.

TO EXCEED TENER'S VOTE
Brumbaugh Poll Expected to Be 25
Per Cent. Greater Than Governors.

DR.. Martin c.. Brumbaugh's vote next
Tuesday Is expected to exceed that given
Governor Tener four years ago by more
than 2 per cent Such an increase would
mean that at least 100000 more votes will
be cast for Doctor Brumbaugh than were
cast for Tener
This forecast, apparently far fetched,
In view OF the estimated total of 1000 900
votes to be cast at the coming election,
and in face of the supposed strength of
the Washington party forces in the
Western part of the State, is based on
tho expected action OF counties such as
Montgomery, Lebanon, Berks, Lancas ster
and Dauphin, where Doctor Brum-

OLD PARTIES IN DELAWARE
PROFESS CONFIDENCE
Indications as Campaign Closes Ap-
pear to Favor Republicans.

WILMINGTON, Del. Oct. so.-Tn most
parts of the State the political campaign
will end on Saturday night, though all
of the parties expect to hold meetings
in this city on Monday night. which will
be the night before the election. The
campaign has now progressed SO far that
the political experts are making a pre-
dictIon as to the outcome. Naturally all
sides assert that they will make a good
showing, and both the Democrats and
Republicans claim that they are going
to win.
Indications. based on the best intorma-
ton which can be obtained. are that
the Republicans will elect the member OF
Congress and will also elect their State
ticket but the majority over the Demo-
Gratis will be small by reason OF the fact
that most OF the Progressive votes will
come from the Republicans.
