BIG LIQUOR FIGHT
ON IN BALTIMORE
0vershadows the Presidential
Election and All Other Is
sues of Campaign.
PROBLEM FOR POLITICIANS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. October 21.-Wet or dry
that is the question in which the
$4,000 voters of this city are more in
terested than even the presidential and
senatorial contests On the same day
that they vote for President they will
vote for or against the no-iicense
amendment. There are over 1900 sa-
looms and hotel bars in Baltimore and
the city's revenue from liquor sources
is more than 100000.
Twenty of the counties In Maryland
are now wholly or partly dry. On
November the voters of the counties
in which are located Annapolis. the
state capital; Hagerstown and Cum
berland, the largest towns in the state.
outside of Baltimore, will also vote on
the question. The newspapers of Bal
timore city generally oppose prohibit
ton for the city. The American, re-
publican. is non-committal. The Sun.
democratic, is for prohibition in the
counties. and against it in Baltimore
city, drawing the line of distinction on
business interests. The News is straight
out for license. In the betting, the
odds are in favor of a wet victory, to
/. Baltimore is the largest city in the
country to vote on the proposition.
Politicians Are Worried.

Gratis. VINO practically control the city,
are really devoting more thought and
energy to the liquor fight than they are

election the result will mean much.
very much, to the politicians. A here

The Saloon League and the Anti-Sa-

INDIANA WAKES UP
TO THE CAMPAIGN
People Now Attending Political
Meetings and WhirIwind
Finish Is Predicted.
WILSON STRENGTH GROWS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, October 81. -
Although the campaign in Indiana
started with a woeful lack of interest
among the people of the state and for
many weeks it dragged along without
any apparent progress, Indications now
are that there will be a whirlwind
finish. 1t is still the case that the
people are not excited or noisy about
politics, but there has been a sort of
awakening that adds zest to the cam
paign at last. -..-t.
The Independent vote this fall will
be more pronounced than ever before
in the state. and no one appears to be
able to get line on what it will do.
There is this noticeable fact. oWever,
that this Independent element. as far
as it can be sounded out seems TO be
favorable to Wilson. The politicians
and workers are reporting that in
most cases here a voter d>cla- eS his
intention of changing his vote this
year he says he is going to vote for
Wilson. The number who say they
have been democrats but will vote for
Hughes is said to be small in COM
par1son with the number of republicans
VINO say they will vote for Wilson.
- iS@oe, tHdl IS tHc way Tie WI hci .
report.
Many Voters Are Silent.
But there remains a very large ele-
ment among the voters who are not
telling any one what they propose t"
do. 1t is this element that injects the
uncertainty in the situation in Irdian IA.
No one can question the statement
that Wilson will run far ahead Ct the
democratic state ticket in Indiana. 1t
is said that many republicans who say
they will vote for Wilson also declare
their intention of voting the repu 5lican
state ticket.
Politicians say that the large indie
pendent element this year and the
strong indep ndent attitu .e of thou
sanas of voters are traceab1e to the eff
feet that the progressive iarty had in
the state. Voters in both old parties
no were inclined to assert their. in
dependence in 1912 and 1914 found in
the progressive party an avenue
through which they might do so. T.,ey
discovered that the in3epend mt voter
was an important factor in Indiana
politics II he but used the power that
he possessed. And. 1t Is pointed out.
having discovered his power in those
two elections, the Independent voter
has become accustomed to asserting his
independence at the polls and he Aoes
not hesitate this year, as he did in
former campaigns.

Strong Protective Tariff State.

New Jersey is a strong protective
tariff state. and there was a very Sc
we're depression in it's industries i'm
mediately after the Underwood tariff
went into effect. This extended through
1913 and most of 1914 While business
now is booming. the conditions of two
years ago have not been forgotten.
The tariff is a very vital issue in New
Jersey. and will influence many to
vote for Hughes who on other points
are more in sympathy with the Wilson
policies.

Counting Independent Vote.

Spreading slowly but thoroughly over
the state is the feeling that this indie
pendent vote will favor Wilson. and the
republicans are doing everything in
their power to head it off. Whether
they will succeed is a question. but

Mouie Operators
(By George w. Thomas.)

Patty Molloy is still looking for his

it is at the Plaza. If there are any more
of the boys playing the back door We
would advise them to 60 slow as they
might lose more than raincoat.

The Bide.a-W Wee theater has been de-

ture Operators and the Denver Trades

card.
The operators have decided to fall in
line for the Labor day parade in an at
tempt to make it the most successful
seen in Denver.
Brothers Galabaugh and Janacio are
compelled to change their socks every
day; that is because they insisted upon
buying white ones.
Some one asked us what the difference
between Brother Davis and n victrola.
The only answer that we can give is that
you have to wind up a victrola.
Brother Ellison has the spot picked
where he will take his daily sun bath
this summer, and cast his optics on the
fair sex as they pass by.
Speaking about Brother Barton as
pool shark. he would no doubt make a
better chocolate dipper.
The boys who are working with the
intention 9f forming social club for the
operators are having good success. And
there is no reason why they should not.
Listen to reason, boys; don't you think
that you could afford few cents every
week or month to get this startcd' Don't
you think that II would be nice to have
place to hang around during your spare
moments The cost would be very small
and the benefit that you derive would
be very large. We intend to have read
ing rooms, rest rooms, pool tables and
everything that would interest the boys
Now figure out how much money you
throw away every week and see IL you
don't come to this conclusion that We
can save money and have a far better
time if we have place OF our own
Think this over then and let US hear
from you.
Well. boys. harmony is what we want.
Let's get together and pull for a better
and stronger local, and in doing that we
pull for bigger and better Denver.

MINER MAKES THE BEST SOLDIER.
This Fact Has Been Recognized by All
European Military Experts.

In the opinion of British officer, the
best soldier is the miner.
He is strong in the back, used to
cramped position, familiar with danger
and explosions, and is said to put two
and two together much quicker than
men from other trades.
This has evidently been recognized by
the Canadian military authorities, who
have sent out special appeal to all the
mining camps for men for a proposed
pioneer battalion.
