In Three State
Prohibition referendums are TO be
held in three states, questions for
voters to answer appearing on the

Several other states = notably
Ohio, Montana and Pennsylvania
are holding elections that closely
resemble prohibition referendurns as
the wet and dry issues are so close
j. drawn.
In Ohio. Robert j. Buckley, DEM
ocrat. is running fer the senate on
a wet platform against Senator Ros-
o McCulloch, cry Republican. Pro-
hlbition is the outstanding issue.
In Montana Senator Thomas j.
walsh. dry Democrat. is opposed for
reelection by Alfred j Galen, re-
publican. who boasts that he is drip
ping wet. Both men are Catholics.
Practically no other issue IS involv-
cd.

both the republican and prohibition
party candidate against John Hemp
hill. wet democrat.
