Columbus, Ohio, November RE
ports from Cincinnati late today that
an error Of ten thousand or twelve
thousand had been made in the count
OF the wet and dry vote there, thus
giving the state TO the vets after 1t
apparently had been won by the drys,
caused Governor James NJ. Cox this
evening to call in Secretary Of State
W. D. Fulton, head of the state elec-
ton machinery, and Assistant Secre-
tary Of State Gregory and instructed
them that q speedy and thorough in
vestigation of the Cincinnati situation
should be made. Hamilton county is
the wet stronghold Of the state.
Counting the alleged correction there,
the vets had lead of 6,444 with 246
precincts still to be heard from.
Tonight report was received from
Cleveland through an error discov-
cred there would add $500 votes to
the dry total in Cuyahoga county. Dry
leaders announced tonight that they
have begun a private investigation Of
the Cincinnati and will fight the vets
to finish.
II the alleged mistake at Cincinnati
had not been found, the drys would
have been victorious with safe mar
gin. Tonight the drys did not hesi-
tate to charge they had been counted
out. In his talk with Fulton and
Gregory late today, Governor Cox de-
clared that vigilance and caution
must be exercised to assure an honest
count. He promised them every aid
possible in their investigation. Full
ton then called upon the Hamilton
county election officials for full re-
port Of the situation at once. He
wants to know how the mistake oc-
CURED; and, II 1t really did occur,
how it was discovered. The wet and
dry result has swung first from one
side to the other since early last
night. Late today the drys had OBJ
tained fairly safe lead with returns
from rural counties when Cincinnati
suddenly reported the alleged mis-
calculation. The first announcement
came from l.. H. Gibson, the manager
OF the wet campaign, and drys de-
! clare it significant that the first word
should come from the wet headquar-
ters instead of from the election
board
j. A. White, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, tonight issued
statement in which he picked flaws
in the explanation offered by the vets
for the alleged error in Cincinnati
He said the claim Of error was not
put forth until after the vets found
they had been defeated 1--WE still
claim victory, even with this error"
Mr.. White said. 1--WE do not propose
to be counted out Of an election fair
ly won." He said many believe there
had been juggling with the election
figures and that every suspicious cir
cumstance would be probed.

II almost impossible to be accurate,
no matter how hard they try, OBJ
serves the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle. An idea of the value and
method Of accuracy may be gained
from the following advice given by
Ruskin on the simple matter of read
ing book:
"You must get in the habit of
looking intensely at words, and as
sure yourself of their meaning, syl-
liable by syllable-nay, letter by let
ter. You might read all the books
in the British museum, if you could
live long enough, and remain an ut
terly illiterate, uneducated person 1;
but if you read ten pages of a good
book letter by letter-that is to say,
with real accuracy-you are forever
more in some measure an educated
person."
Young men and women who must
earn their living ought to realize
how much the habit of accuracy ad-
vances them in the estimation of
their employers. A person may lack
brilliancy, but if, within his limita-
tions, he is absolutely reliable, he
will always find somebody who needs
his services. Perhaps it might be
truthfully said that nothing aston
ishes an employer like a man or
woman who can be depended on to
do certain work with perfect accu-
racy.
