Arkansas Votes
For Prohibition
Remarkable Story Of Thirty Years
Battle With Whisky
CONCLUDED FROM LAST ISSUE

n critical examination OF this table
shows, almost without exception, that
the marked growth OF the Prohibition
party vote has been accompanied by an
equally marked decreasing majority for
license.
And almost without exception where
the Prohibition party vote has stood
practically stationary there las been
but iitilc change in the license silua-
ton.
Take Il feYs conspicuous examples of
the FIRST proposition:
In rulaski county Q-ittle Rock the
Prohibition party vote junpci from .

TO 1880.
In Benton county. where HE party
vote jumped from IS to l-3, The ma
jority against license jumped from II
to LOCO.
In White county, where the party
vote jumped from % to HI, the no
license vote jumped from 81 for license
to 722 against license.
In Van Buren, county, where the Pro-
hibition party vote nearly q%uadrupled,
the license vote changed from 245 for
license to $40 for Prohibition.

Another most useful situation de-

the growth of Prohibition to the growth

The total increase in population from
1890 to 1900 amounts to 1S3,3S5.
