Ohio Sees Liquor
Tax Aiding Schools
Voters Will Meet at Polls November to Repeal Pros
hibitiOn Amendment to State Constitution

to ballot on repeal of the 18th
amendment, but on repeal OF the
prohibition amendment to the OHIO
Constitution.
The election will climax a spec
tacular struggle, involving church
groups, the Anti-Saloon League
and w. C. r. IT,; the Ohio Repeal
Council, spearhead Of the drive to
pile UP a majority for repeal; the
Women's Organization for Prohibi-
ton Reform, the Ohio Hotels asso-
citation, the Ohio Federation Of
Labor, the Voluntary Committee of
Lawyers Of the American Bar as
ISOLATION, and the Association
and the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment.
Governor George White, antici-
pating a repeal victory, has APP
pointed "The Governors Advisory
Commission on Liquor Control"
charged with the task of submit
ting recommendation for legisla-
ton to govern the liquor traffic.
Similar recommendation will be
prepared by the Liquor Advisory
committee Of the state senate.
The last official step to place
the repeal issue on the November
ballot was taken recently when
delegation of militant repealists
filed, with the secretary Of state.
105,465 names for the Ohio repeal
slate Of SO delegates, pledged to
vote repeal December 5, at a rati-
flcation convention.
Anti-repeal petitions. with more
than $1,000 signatures attached,
were filed by drys who selected 81
convention delegates, pledged to
support the 18th amendment.
Ohio's legislature probably
would be recalled, in special ses-
sion, in December, to provide a
liquor control system for the state,
should repeal win in the United
States.

der the Mosier act, which provides
for the constitutional convention,
calls for election Of So delegates
sat large who shall constitute the
convention. Names of candidates
for delegates will APPEAR in three
columns, headed respectively "For
Ratification Against Ratiflca-
tion," and "Unpledged." The form
