NO PLACE ON THE FENCE
Here In ohio For the StraddIer on
the Liquor Question.

the Liquor question.
(Xenia Republican,
Heretofore it has been possible in a
large number Of the legislative dis
tricts where candidates were afraid
to express their views on the liquor
question to avoid doing so.
Now every candidate in every dis
trict will be forced to state where he
stands, because that will become the
vital issue.
Candidates for state Offices, be-
cause Of their supposed influence in
legislative matters, will likewise be
forced out into the open on this ques-
tion.
In the last state campaign, al
though the liquor question was on the
ballot in two forms, candidates, in
cluding those for governor, were care
full to avoid the issue.
The fence will not longer be good
roosting place. Every candidate for
public office will be compelled to
climb down on one side or the other
painful as the process may be.
