MANY ISSUES BEFORE
OHIO VOTERS TODAY
Progressiveisn, Prohibition,
Harding's Administration and
Organized Labor Will Figure.

BY Associated Press 70 Every Evening.
Columbus. Ohio. Aug 3.--Ohio voters
today are wa ging a battle OF ballots
that will determine whether the State,
so far as the Republican party Is con-
cerned. shall swing into the progress
I've column. or remain conservative as
It decided by Harding landslide two
years ago; whether Il will continue
to stand for strict prohibition en-
forcement or advocate an alteration OF
the yolstead act that will permit the
sale OF light wine and beer.
Both issues are being fought out IN
the campaign for governor. Nonina-
iton OF Carmi A. Thompson, OF Cleve-
land. would decide in favor OF prohi-
bition and the national admiu.stra-
ton success OF Congressman c. l.
knight OF Akron. or Daniel W. VIII
l.ams, Jackson publisher, would mark
victory for the Progressives. A VIC
tory by c. Homer Durand. Coshocton
attorney, would be a repudlation OF the
Volstead act and an endorsement OF
restoration of light wine and beer.

date. He has been classed as a wet
by the dry organization. which urged
it's followers 10 support other candi
dates, preferably Thompson, on th'
ground that he was the strongest

many votes from among the dry eie
ment. He has advocated strict Law
enforcement.
