nessec Which Really Need

After two previous unsuccca5ful at
tempt8 the hniSllo3a League. with

Ohio Valley Times, Of Stcubcayille.
Ohio, thinks OF the schcme:
Tho national organization of the
Anti Saloon League is sending into
the state Of Ohio tho Rcv. Small OF
Georgia, tho Hon. Richard L. liobson.
OF Alabama, and Ex-Governor pattor-
con, Of Tennessee, - tell tho people
hore how to manage tho affairs o. thij
great state. Georgia, Alabama, Ten
nesscc!
Look ut the map! Study the tables
OF illltsracy and human depravity.
Make comparisons OF these states with
the state of Ohio on any question In
volving any matter OF American Ciyill-
cation or American welfare and de-
termino for yourself whether these
gentlemen, Rev. Sam Small OF Georgia,
Hon. Richmond u. liobsol Of Alabama.
and Ex-Governor Patterson OF Tcnnes-
sec might nO, employ their talents,
such aa ;hcy have, to the amclioration
Of conditions in tho states from which
they come.
Ohio IS an enlightened community.
Ohio places tho man above every other
consideration.
ohlo Gopresents America.
Georgia. Alabama, Tennessee do not
represent the spirit of America. They
oil live In an age that is dead, They
are decadent communities. The things
chat Rev. Small Mr.. IIobson and Mr..
Patterson are contending for may be
all very well for Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee and Russia, but Ohio Is
America at It's best. Autocratic gov.
ernmont for Russia, Georgia, Alabama
and Tennessee Is tho only form app!l.
cable to communities whCrc tho popu.
lation has been kept in tho darkness
Of Cathay, but this ig Ohio-OhiO self
RELIANT. Ohio Intelligent, Ohio awake 20
the light ard the life OF the twentieth
century.
Ohio does not vote the Democratic
ticket nor the Republican ticket at the
behcst Of the bosses. ohio has more
Independent voter7 than any state in
che union. Ohio thinks for herself.
Ohio Is able 10 take care Cr herself.
We sag unto you, Richmond y. Hob.
son, go back 10 Alabama, aud taIo
those poor halr.staWci children ont CT
the factories, whore tho grind i5 de.
stroying tho future citizens OF Amer,
ica. You sank tho Mcrrimac in the
straits of Santiago, but We warn you
not to sink the Alabama.
To Sam Small OF Georgia we say
unto you, put Georgia on the map as
a civilized community and then come
TO Ohio and tell ua how YOU did II.
Anti-Sa'c,0 League r2,i.ics.
To Ex-Governor Patterson Of Ten.

came by that EN' In front OF your
name. Did tho fac that !ol helped to
destroy civil liberty ana local self

thing to 10 wish Il, You have Couv,
appointed mayor In Memphis, pui
there by subgOvicnt court, and In
defiance of tho expressed vii! OF tho
people. You have in Tennessee whuU
you are pleased 10 call prohibition, hUy
you have not local SER government
neither have you a judiciary tAa
dares to LIT IT'S head The Artl.Sa
loon mob has m,midatGd your courts
and the state has taken property with
out due process Human slavery ma
been abolished within your borders
but not by YOU nor your fathers, but IL
spite OF you and the race from whisl
you spring.
You cannot fo!st upon Ohio either
human slavery nor any OF those sub
stitutes which yol bring undcr an
other guise. Ohio demands clear
hands and a pure heart, Show you

wardness OF Your hearts, We do no

We trust 10 your Judgments Fool
