After returning from trip through
out the State of Ohio, Clinton Wunder,
manager of the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers Association, gave out
the following statement:
The State OF Ohio is now engaged in

The chief feature of this campaign
is the almost universal quiet through

spite of the most frantic efforts Of the
paid Anti-Saloon Agitators to spread
dissatisfaction and dissension in every

(84,152) votes.
Indeed, the expressions OF these pro
hibitionists have been even more in
temperate than ever before. AS an in
stance, Wayne B. Wheeler, acknowl-

and ole OF the highest-paid workers
OF the AntiSaloon League, stated re-

fectly plain. These dry" forces have
