years. In the town and city elections
held a few weeks ago mo license"
scored tremendous victory and re-
trieved the reputation of the State for
voting as II prays." Out of 2i6 towns
less than fifty voted for license. Five
cities voted license as might be expect
ed. The liquor interests made their
fight for local option principally to
gain a foothold in the cities. This
they have temporarily accomplished
but the country homes and firesides
have refused to be led astray for more
than two years. The vote is now so
strongly towards local prohibition that
it must be but a short step. back into
the old system which places mtoxicat-
ing liquor on the contraband list
through the State. g...
The lesson of this reversion is that
the citizens dissatisfied with prohi-
bition that does not prohibit find, after
a short experience, the prohibition
scheme with all its shortcomings far
preferable to legalized liquor sale in
any form. 20
