movement without neglecting the work
in their own States,
CAMPAIGNS THIS YEAR
This year, there are three Statewide
campaigns in progress. In October,
Iowa will vote at special election on
a constitutional amendment making
the State dry. Some years ago, the
State Legislature enacted a Prohibl-
ton law for the State and a succeed
ing Legislature enacted what is called
a "mulct law,' providing that the
Prohibition law was not to be enforced
in counties that got up statutory Pc
tition to that effect, securing thereto
the signatures of majority of the vot
ers of the county.
The last Legislature repealed the
"mulct law,' thus leaving in full force
and effect the original Prohibitory
statute. At the same time, the Legis-
lature submitted to the people con-
stitutional amendment forever prohib-
iting the traffic, which is to be voted
on in October.
At the general elections to be held in
November, two more wet States, New
Mexico and Ohio, will vote on the State
wide dry project. In each Of these
States, the campaign is now being
waged with the utmost fury. In each,
the drys are confident Of winning but
are taking no chances and bending ev-
cry possible effort to rolling up as large
a majority as possible. Ohio has voted
on the measure twice before, but lost
each time by small majorities. Each
time, the drys were defeated by alb
normal wet majorities in Cincinnati
and Cleveland. Last year, the vets
won by very narrow margin and have
little hopes Of success again this year
BOOSTED BY THE WAR
The war has given a great impetus
to the national dry game. The lesson
~
that alcohol not only makes for inef
iciency in the military operations but
also involved an enormous wastage in
foodstuffs has made serious impress
sion in America. This idea has been
diligently promoted by the Anti-Saloon
League organizations with the result
that Congress tackled a provision onto
the Food Control bill, enacting that
after thirty days, the use of foodstuffs
in the manufacture of distilled spirits
for beverage purposes should cease. 1t
is estimated that this will save to the
people over 30,000,OO0 bushels of grain
that formerly has been destroyed annu-
ally in the manufacture of beverage
spirits.
At the same time, Congress, in the
same Act, authorized the President to
take the same action toward malt
liquors should he, at any time, deem
such an act necessary. If the Presi-
dent should use his powers in this di-
rection, there would be further saw
ing of nearly 7O,OO0,00O bushels of
grain annually as there is more than
twice as much grain used up in the
manufacture of malt liquors as in the
manufacture Of spirits.
It is to further arouse the people of
Arizona to getting in behind these ma
tional movements that the national or
ganization of drys is now conducting
these extensive operations in Arizona
which has adopted the dry policy ard
whose aid is now coveted in putting

Maynard, Of Dubuque: Belden Hill, of

Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Maynard were IN
Ottumwa last week on the same mis-

by the municipal campaign before the
work was completed.
Yesterday the league executive and
members Of the committee returned to
Ottumwa to assist Rusty Owens and
others interested In the retention OF
the franchise, IN Strengthening out
matters IN controversy and securing
funds to promote the game for the
season.
Mr.. Maynard, in commenting on the
situation at Ottumwa, said that good
progress was made last week, and that
be had hope Of Ottumwa remaining on

Should Ottumwa fail, Boone likely will
be given last chance, and then at
tention will be turned to the Wfscon-

will be awarded the franchise. In any
event it Is felt that the circuit soon
will be completed.
