The Outlook In Cincinnati.

Cincinnati-The wet and dry cam
paign in this liquor stronghold is not
entirely satisfactory, viewed from the
wet standpoint. Of course Hamilton
county will continue to vote wet but
the liquor interests are not dominat-
ing public sentiment here as in former
campaigns.
Many business and professional men
are out in the open for the drys, and
the papers, while not dry editorially,
are carrying effective dry advertising,
showing that the city must draw its
trade from an area almost wholly dry,
and that it cannot keep the good will
of the people of this territory by kow-
towing to beer and whisky.
1t is noticeable that merchants are
not permitting wet cards in their win
dows as in former campaigns, and in
numerous ways there are indications
that many voters are ready to break
away and vote dry. 1t is believed the
wet majority in Hamilton county will
not exceed 10000 this year and many
keen observers do not believe it will
reach this figure. Two years ago the
wet majority in the county was 68,-
444.

Looks Good In Toledo.

Toledo-This is a city of working
men. The drys have put on hot
campaign in the factories and are
pleased with results. Nearly 800 dry
shop meetings have been held and dry
leaders report the workers favorably
inclined to the dry side. In fact many
oil the best workers in the dry organ
ization are shop men.
The business and professional men
OF Toledo, as well as heads of the big
industries, are giving the drys boost.
Talk about clubs, cigar stores and on
the streets is to the effect that the wet
majority OF two years ago in Lucas
county will be cut in two. That ma
jority was 1925.

Ohio's CAPITAL CITY,

Columbus-The capital city of Ohio,
together with Franklin county, will
give dry majority November 9th.
The drys claim it and the vets do not
deny the claim. Two of the three
English daily papers are advocating
the adoption of the dry amendMent,
and not one of the three will accept
wet campaign advertising.
While the local Democratic organi-
zation now in control Of the city is
noticeably wet, it is in such bad re-
pute even with Democrats, that it is
a liability to the wet cause. The drys
have held scores of factory meetings
and report most friendly reception
from the men. Here, as elsewhere,
drinking men are sore over the in
creased prices of all kinds of liquors,
and threaten to vote dry to even up,
for they realize saloonkeepers are
making them pay not only the in
creased war tax, but also profit on
this tax. Two years ago this county,
including the city, went wet by little
more than 1000 majority.

GLIMPSE OVER THE FIELD

Expect Wet Majority In Cleveland,

Be Scaled Down-cIeveIand and Co.
Iumbus Newspapers Are Powerful
Factors For the Dry Cause-se-
Iieved Wet Majority In Cincinnati
Will Fall Below 10000 and That
Franklin County Will Go Dry.
Cleveland-There are some enthus-
iastic dry workers here who actually
believe this city and county will break
even on the wet and dry vote Novem-
ber 9th. No doubt they are over
enthusiastic. 1t is generally believed,
however, that the wet majority of two
years ago will be brought down until
the wet majority will not be near so
wide as in 1915.
The drys are the aggressors. They
have the best organization ever put up
here. In every ward they will have
the assistance of formerly wet men.
Business and industrial interests are
assisting them and labor is more
friendly than in former years. The
drys of Cleveland made many friends
for their cause when they cancelled
the Bryan meeting because it was
scheduled for the same evening booked
for a monster Liberty Loan meeting.
Another big assistance to the drys
here is the attitude of the Plain Deal
er, which until this campaign, was
recognized as the advocate of license.
The Plain Dealer is the only morning
paper in this, the largest city in the
state, and its vigorous advocacy of
prohibition means thousands of dry
votes.

Plant Lilac5 Now.

One of tie shrubs that should
be planted at this time is the lilac.
The reason is that shrubbery
starts growing very early in the
spring and should the planting in
spring be delayed, a weak growth
will result, thus making it a pIey
for borers.
When planting in the fall, bear
in mind that the soil must be in
good shape, not too wet Or too
dry. The sell should be firmly
worked about the roots. After
cold weather commences, prot ct
the surface by mdlching with ma
nure.

Two Counties In Contest.

Warren (Special)-Two years ago
Trumbull county gave the statewide
Prohibition amendment 1904 majority,
the largest dry majority given by any
county in the state. The dry majority
in Ashtabula county in 1915 was 2,841.
Now Ashtabula county has challenged
Trumbull for the champion dry major
ity on the 9Th of November: The
challenge has been accepted and the
fight is on.

late his strong taste for liquor;
Lever found at any Institution
that exists for the upbuilding of
mankind; an enemy of the church,
home. state, nation and world ;
among the lowest of the financial
class; unfit to be the star, whose
sparkling light might be seen by
our pcsterity.
AS stated in the beginning,
there is still another stage of de-
velopment, necessary for his car
to pass through before he finish
eS his trip, and that is the stage
of Morality" " The fact is sure
ly self-evident, that there's moth
ing more demoralzing in the sight
of God than for Him to see both
the beautiful physical form and
the active soul, (flled with love,
sympathy, friendship, happiness
and truth), which He has given
man, destroyed by this poisonous
alcohol.
AS an illustration, please let
this trip represent, in your mind,
a distance, say, from New York
to San Francisco. The car has
not as yet reached it's destina-
ton. 1t is speeding swiftly a.
lorg, drink after drink. until,
alas!. Behold! What has hap
pened? A sound as if it were
the crushing Of steel; the break
ing OF glass; mingled together
with shouts of fear. The car has
fallen from a ledge into one of
the great canyons Of Colorado, or
in other words, the traveller is
seemingly half-crazy. In the
modern way of expressing the
thought, he is a victim of deliri-
um tremens; a sufferer of great
pain and hardships until "a short
time later, Death, written in
those dark and mournful letters
of sorrow, places its inscription
upon him and he is noTmore.
So far as he was from San
Francisco. that many years of
his life was stolen by the use of
strong drink.
This is only one of a rumber of
such careers which liquor has de-
ceitfulIy made. therefore, in con-
clusion, I think that l can truly
say that total abstinence from
the use OF alcoholic liquors will
make a man stronger physically,
wiser intellectually, friendlier
socially, and better morally thus
putting him IN such a condition
as to be called lone of the sue
cessful men of Gods great uni
verse"

How WILL TOTAL ABSTINENCE

LIQUoRslBENEFIT THE lNDIv-
IDUAL?
There is no man. so great or so

more or less degree, wishes to
have his name written among
those names, whose biographical
worth is sufficiently great, 10
cause them to be placed beneath
that golden, monumental inscrip-
ton called Success Time and
experience has proven to man
that such a position cannot be
obtained by merely the collection
of coins, the carrying out of ones
ambitions, or, in the time re
quired t. snap the finger, but
generally speaking, one desirous
of such a characteristic must de-
vote his time to development a.
long four very important lines,
which are namely, as follows:
Physically, intellectually, socially
and morally.
Thus, we come to the subject
of today-"How will total absti-
nence from the use of alcoholic
liquors benefit the individual, y
or, in other words. what are some
of the great .destroyers of man
that could be overcome by the e.
Elimination of liquor from his u.s.
age?
First, let us take man as hear
ly physically perfect as he is able
to become, addict him to the use
OF alcohol and notice briefly his
transformation. In the beauty
aud splendor of his great physi-
cal appearance he enters upon
his alcoholic tour across the great
continent of life" With a
beautiful home, an earnest wife,
happy children, and all Of the
necessities which go together to
make his a happy and useful life,
he starts his car with the first
drink from the snake-like foun-
tain of alcohol. Almost immed-
lately the question is asked by
many, why did a man Of such
characteristics enter upon a Ca
reer of this kind2" Was it be-
cause of that supposed good
feeling" which, it is said, comes
