repeal the Volstcad act and permit
the sale of 2.75 per cent beer and
light wines will be carried to the vot-
crs of Ohio this fall under the terms
of the referendum law, according to
Capt William II. Stayton, managing
vice president of the National Asso-

Petitions will be circulated and a
vigorous campaign waged to deter
mine whether public opinion has
changed since the act became effec-
tive.
"Wc are daring the drys to fight US
on open ground" Captain Stayton
said. "We feel that public opinion
has undergone a change and we have
come to the home of the anti-saloon
league and into a state that was dry
before the national amendment to
determine whether we are right or
wrong. If opinion has changed in
Ohio, we will proceed in other states.
No brewers or distillers will manage
our campaign. 1t will be in the
hands Of business and professional
men who have seen the error of the
Volstead act and who are looking for
a law that will correct its evils"

ton has more than 250,000 members,
5000 of them in Ohio.
