(Ions.
Party qui'HtloiiH have been shoved
Into the Imckuround by the "wets"
and "drs" fight. The UHual itiestlou
of "Who's v.uuk to ho our next k'v
ernor" linn been renlured by "Will the
slato go dry?"
Here are a few of the reasons for
this ultuatlon
From three to sx tltiieo as much
money wan spent by the Plate "wet"
and "dry" organizations as" wait ex-
peiided by the democratic republican
nml bull 1110030 Mate rnmmltlecH com-
bined In their efforts to elect their
state and legislative tickets.
Five times nu mntiv 'workers were
nrollwl In the "wet" and "dry" nr
mien as were found (u the three state
political organlzatlona.
For tnery piece of literature dis-
tributed by the three political parties
at least ten pieces .vere distributed
by the "wets" and "drys."
"Wet" or "dry" tulsed and spent
about SlfiO.000 in their fight to write
a state wide prohibition amendment
Into the state constitution..
The wets" made no announcement
of the size of their campaign fund
but It was reported to be around the
million dollar mark
The "drys" claimed to have 75.000
active workers with precinct organi-
zations to get out their- vote- The
wetfl" had the backing of 304.OO0
oters who signed their petition and
organized home rule" associations
throughout tho atnte.
Tho constitutional amendment pro-
posed by the "drys" provides' state-
wide prohibition. In opposition the
"wow" presented a proposed amend-
ment wltlch repeals the Hose county
option law and prevents ntntewlde
prohibition through legislative enact-
ment. Two moro proposed constitutional
amendments confront tho voter. Ono
provides for woman suffrage the oth-
er writes the Smith one per cent tax
law Into tho constitution.
The HHffragUts have made a determ-
ined fight to carry the state the na-
tional organization sending Its best
speakers hero a tho suffragists he-
llevNi with the vot In Ohio tho most
eastern stato to vote on the question
they will have moro chance for suc-
cess When Uiey inovu on New Nork
nnd other eastern states next year
Tho "wet" and "lrv" tlgbt. howovur.
has nerved to prevent the spotlight
from being turned their way
The proposed tax amendment has
been lost In the shuffle and vrobMr
not more than one per cent of I
voters knows what It provides. The
writing of the original one percent
tax law Into the constitution

welfare of tho farmers and desirous
of assisting tho farmers to enter Into
crop diversification wilt make up tho
party which will leave here a la auto.
Tho name of the first community to be
visited Is to be selected Inter.
The meetings will be In the natun
of talks and visits among the farmers.
The success of past efforts In dairying
has been widespread and the Interest
created already among the fnrmers Is
such iib to warrant a 'renewed effort
upon the part of the government ex-
pert nnd the Chamber A meeting will
be announced for a certain community
for a certain hour one night during the
weok. Farmers and their children are
to be welcomed. They will be told of
the need of dlveralllcatlon and of the
groat outlook for dairying. The far-
mers will be shown the necessity for
co-operation along this line. Tho
children arc the hope of tho country
and this Ib accepted as onu of the
Krcatvsl reasons why they nhould- 1k

It Is not the Intention Just ns tho
