The Boston Herald in noting the increase in
the Prohibition vote at the November election
doubts if it was as important as it was four
years ago. 1t says: ''Then it gave the great
state of New York to the Democrats. Now it
probably changed the vote of Connecticut, and
perhaps of New jersey, but it Hid not again
decide who should be President. Notwith-
standing these figures, we see no prospect of
its essential increase in the future" This,
from Democratic source, is not very consol-
ing to the Prohibition allies of the Democracy.
