Ohio last Tuesday _yoted to sustain
the action of its legislature in rati- J
fying tile federal prohibition amend- j
nienj l>y a majority of SSI. according I
to compute returns from all but two j
precincts in the stat?. ar.il official re- j
turns from eighty of the eighty-e'.ght ;
counties, received and tabulated to- j
night at the office of the secretary of j
State. The vote stood:
For ratification, 499,776.
Against, 499,395.
Although returns on the other pro
hibition questions voted upon had not
been tabulated officially, they indi
cated that the repeal of state-wide
prohibition was defeated by 30.000 or j
more majority, that the 2.75 per cent
beer proposal was defeated by a ma
jority of 15 000 or more, and that the
?wets succeeded in defeating the
Ciabbe prohibition enforcement act
by a majority of 25.000 or more.
Included in the nine counties from .
Which the official vote has not been re- I
c.ived upon the ratification referendum j
iire Cuyahoga (Cleveland) "m<! Hamil- i
tou (Cincinnati), both of which return- '
ed large wet majorities.
However, advices from those counties i
said that in Cleveland the canvass of |
' the vote had been completed without
disclosing any large errors, and that in
Cincinnati approximately sixteen wards
bad been canvassed without any big
errors having been discovered.
As the situation stood tonight the drys
conceded the defeat of the Crabbe en
forcement act, while the wets conceded
the defeat of the prohibition repeal and
?.75 per cent beer proposals.
Both wets and drys. however, con
tinued' to make claims of victory on
the ratification referendum. Both con
tended that the official count would
show them victorious.

Your Ckildren s Ch
Y^OU'VE all known "Grandfather's Old Arm
chair," that comfortable old chair that has
been handed down for generations in nearly
every family and has given such faithful service.
Grandfather bought wisely when he bought that
chair. He looked farther than the mere finish or
upholstery. He insisted upon dependable con
struction and built-in quality, and his judgment
is vindicated by its years of sturdy, faithful
service.
YOU'LL buy wisely and well if you buy Life
time Furniture, for its sturdy, stanch con
, struction will withstand years of hard and
trying wear, and, although it costs no more than
the ordinary kinds, it is built to "last your chil
dren's children."
