APPARENT WET MAJORITY
 OF 644 IN OHIO ELECTION

Columbus, O., Nov. 10.-The courts may be called upon to decide whether Ohio voters upheld or repudiated the action of the state legislature in rati- flying the fedora lprohibition amend ment. With an apparent wet majority of 644 against ratification, Manager James A. White of the Ohio Dry fed eratton tonight made formal demand on the secretary of state for a recount.
 White. however, has not yet admit ted defeat of the proposal, contending that it will take the complete official count to decide the result. Hamilton county's official count. including Gin cinnati. has not yet reached the office of the secretary of state.
 Should the election be forced into the
 courts, the final result may not be known for weeks or even months.

It is better that we should lhave our own seif-respect and hand down to the generations yet to come the principles of freedom and the iworthiness to battle for freedom than ito die and to live an inglorious life Proclaiming American labor to be in kfhorough accord with American prin- Icipies and ideals. Mir. Gompers added {:
