In reply to his criticism that

The figures below show that nearly
two.thirds Of the territory and nearly
one half Of the people in the south under
prohibition in 1904, rs, ,U0 people in
1908.
There are today 25O prohibition cities
in the United states having a population
Of over 5000 each, with a total population
Of nearly $500 900.
In 1904 there were scarcely 100 prohi.
bition cities Of 5000 or over; there are
nov ninety prohibition cities of 10000 or
over.
In 1904 the liquor trade through its
National Prospective Bureau, announced
it had circulated within twelve months
over 1900, 600 specially prepared leaflets
attacking the prohibition argument.
Since that time at a low estimate 2O,0UO,.
900 of these leaflets have been distributed
broadcast and in the most carefully
selected fashion.
In 1904 the Nationa, Liquor League Of
the United States was organized at Gin.
c%innati, January I and 8, to put the lid
ON the apparent beginnings of a prohibi.
ton renaissance. -Four years of the
National Liquor League Of the United
States has resulted in 2O,OOO,OCD people
being added to the prohibition popula-
ton of the country; $50 new prohibition
cities; five new prohibition states; hun.
dreds Of new prohibition counties, and
thousands of new prohibition towns and
villages in all the rest of the country.
One Of the most striking contrasts be.
tween 1904 and 1908 is seen in the trans.
formation which has been wrought in the
attitude of the daily and secular press
toward the prohibition question. Since
1904 leading daily papers in all parts Of
the country have begun to exclude liquo,
advertising from their columns.
The daily press of America is today
giving ten times more attention to and
far more friendly treatment Of the prohi-
bition issue than was the case in lV0A.-
