Up and at 1t Again!

In the recent election the dry forces of Ohio
were beaten in their efforts to bring about the de-
feat of the brewers home rule proposal and the
adoption of Prohibition. The next day the wet
campaign managers gave out the statement that
Prohibition was forever dead in Ohio, and that the
election had shown that the people wanted to be Sc
cure in their glorious liberties.
All this was said despite the fact that Ohio was
one Of only two states that went wet on election day.
The vets completely forgot the fact that four other
states went dry, thereby showing that t~wo-thirds of
the states voting had given up their glorious liberty.
Well, folks have been known to be buried alive,
and that is just what happened to the Ohio drys. They
were buried, all right, but they weren't dead by a long
shot. Sometimes a man gets SO hopelessly showed
under that he decides to quit politics. The drys, how
ever, never have any such notions. They believe Pro-
hibition is right, and, being right, it is bound to pre-
vail sometime, even in wet Ohio.
So, just as soon as the air was cleared a bit, they
began to take stock, and to make an inventory. First
off, they found they were not beaten as badly as they
had thought on the day after election. Late returns
continued to come in and to put a new face on things.
Then, they began to find out wherein they had
erred in conducting the campaign, and located the
weak spots. So the trustees of the Anti-Saloon
League of Ohio got together and voted unanimously
to begin another fight right off the bat. The year
1915 will be the date of the election. However, before
1914 has passed into history, the campaign will have
been started.
This decision on the part of the drys deeply pain
ed the wet leaders. They pointed out that this is an
inopportune time to bring on an election. Why not
give the people a rest?
That, of course, is precisely the thing the drys
have no purpose of doing. There must be no peace
that is dishonorable. "Woe to them that are at ease
in Zionr'
In the campaign of 1915 the Ohio drys expect to
fight on the single issue of statewide Prohibition.
They will not be compelled to defend the state against
home rule, for, to carry Prohibition means to repeal
home rule. 1t is we'll recognized that the dry senti-
ment in Ohio is much stronger now, since election,
than at any previous time.
