of men most of whom were cadets to-

This means that there is hardly a

not know the methods and the manners

be said also that there is barely q
brigadier general who does not know
all about the record, the penalty and
the idiosyncrasies of the major general
who, as a division commander, Will
give him orders.
Some of these men who have been
appointed to high rank In the new

years of the retirement age. 1t may be
that out of their ranks will come

THE TRUTH

The attitude of the people of Ohio
towards prohibition, as reflected in
their vote at the polls Tuesday, will
not Countenance any crookedness
which may be evolved in Hamilton
county to save the state for the wet
cause.
Hamilton county has always borne
the reputation of converting election
returns into such a shape as its lead
ers willed. Is It then not significant,
In view OF this widespread attitude to-
ward the most southwesterly county
In the state, that mistakes" s"--always
favoring the wets-should suddenly
be discovered In the Hamilton county
count particularly at time when
there was an imposing dry lead in the
state?
The people of Ohio essentially be-
lleve In fair play. There have been
too many glaring instances of shady
practices In Hamilton county not to
View everything which issues from
there with great deal Of suspicion
That this county coulG influence an
election to It's will. especially in locat-
ing mistakes Is challenge to ev-
erybody who possesses sense of
decency and fair play.
If the Hamilton county vote legti-
mately shows tho majority against
prohibition that was reported, after
the mistakes" had been included in
the totals, well enough. But, on the
other hand, If the returns were doc
tored to suit the occasion. to throw"
tho election, as 1t were, there should
be the most searching investigation
ever undertaken by the state to ar
rive, with impartiality, at the truth.
Tho people are not to be toyed with
this time.
