Mected to remain in the wet column,
in Ohio the new amendment to the
institution practically places the
state in the wet column forever, as it
provides that no new liquor legislation
shall be introduced into the legisla
lure. The present laws, however, are
eery strict and are carried out to the
letter. The new amendment does not
prohibit the holding of wet and dry
elections in communities, under the j
laws that are at present in force. I
The states that have voted dry dur
ing the year 1914 are Arizona, Colora
do, Oregon, Washington and Virginia.
