Another point, which the advocates
of prohibition count in their favor, is
the fact that prohibition Is to be voted
upon in 10 or IS states at the same
time. This will make the sentiment
widespread and scatto the forces and
funds of the liquor element. The
brewers also find themselves engaged
in contests to prevent women's suf-

MISSOURI IS IN
THE MIDST OF A
warm CAMPAIGN
Prohibition Issue to Be Sub
mitted to Voters of the
State at the November
Election.

- jefferson city, Mo-, Oct. 10.-The
anti-liquor forces have commenced a
vigorous campaign to make Missouri
dry. The question is to be voted on
at tho November election, and the
leaders of the anti saloon forces are
confident that they will win by good
majority.
The campaign up to this time has
been one largely of organization There
were two plans originally, the Anti
Saloon league and the w. G. T. u
counselling work for dry legislature
and the statute with a clause that
would prevent referendum vote, while
the Dry Federation proposed a consti
tutional amendment
The recent primary election in which
the candidates of the dominant par
ties arc wet has made the first plan
useless, even thought the "drys' have.
as they assert, the control of the legis-
lature no matter which party carries
the state.
Faced by fhis situation the two fac
tions within the dry" element are
again united and are now ready to be-
gin the campaign in earnest. Quanti

are in the dry" column and 1t is ex
pccted that Missouri will shortly be
the scene of one of the hardest politi-
cal bates ever experienced in the
middle west. According to a statement
OF the anti-saloon leaders the brew
cries are working overtime to keep the
state wet" yet several of them al
ready have arrangements made to turn
their plants into other lines of manu-
facture.
SAYS TIME is RIPE.
The Rev. q. Edwin Bertch, state SUI
perintendent Of the Anti Saloon league,
says that this is the most suspicious
time to undertake the fight for prohi-
bition in Missouri.
There are several reasons for this"
he says. 'the first is that the vote will
be taken at the same time that ma
tional election is being held and we
are therefore more likely to get a fair
count, as the chances of tampering
with the election are diminished in
view of the action of the federal au-
thorties in the Terre Haute case. Then,
too, there are only three amendments
to be voted on. Usually there are so
many amendments that the voter be-
comes confused and votes against them
all to be on the safe side. In this in
