figures showing the tendency Of Massa,
chuset.s on the question Of licensing the
sale Of intoxicating liquor were sub.
mitted TO the Legislature yesterday by
the Secretary OF State. In 1886, out Of 44s
cities and towns, only "A, or 81 per cent,
voted to grant licenses. The popular
majority against license showed 50 pei
cent Of the people OF the State TO be In
favor OF the policy Of prohibition. In
1887, with the same number OF cities
and tows, 03 voted yea. The majority
against license had become lO.8 per cent
greater than in 1885.
In 1887, when the number Of cities
and towns was S5l, 81, or 92 per cent
voted yes. The total vote increased 2.t
per cent in this year, and 5S.46 per cent
was in favor Of license. This is quite O
set back for the Prohibitionists.
