we can get the nation sober long

the liquor traffic again to become in

There is nothing. however, in the
national program which should in any
way lead to a slowing up in activity
in the state of Ohio. On the con
trary, it should spur us on to re-
newed efforts If, as a war measure.
congress prohibits the manufacture

would close 900 training Soho Is for
vice in this state and the people could
see the splendid result Of such a
policy before the election.
The action of congress would be
an emergency measure. and the peo-
pie in Ohio should c1inch this VIC
tory by constitutional amendment
and make the state OF Ohio forever
dry territory. 1t must not be forgot
ten that If congress pi.sses a national

therefore subject to repeal at any
time after the war closes With the
dry amendment written In the Ohio
constitution we will be on the SAL g
footing with the other states that
have enacted similar legislation. and
further fulfll the purpose for which
this campaign was inaugurated. With
the tremendous sweep of sentiment all
over the world against the liquors
traffic, the temperance forces in
Ohio are encouraged as never be-
fore to push their fight to a sue
cessful conclusion--that of constitu-
tional prohibition.
