But Temporary Expedients.
ANTI ANTl-SALOoN LEAGUE.
Lock Horns with That OF Chicago
Trouble Seems TO be That Chain
Didn't Get Expected Votes

Chicago, Jan 2--Iu a new years
STUDY Of the party outlook the Pro-
hibitionists have locked horns with
the Anti Saloon league. by declaring
that local option laws are n farce,
that they are nothing but temporary
expedients, with little or no real gain
10 the temperance cause and that
wherever they have been passed they
have cut down the vote OF the Pro
hibition ticket
The survey OF the situation issued
from national headquarters was
written by Michael j. Fannigan, OF
Philadelphia.
u analyses the returns OF the re-
cent election and gives point to the
paradoxical assertions recently made
by Eugene w Chain that the small
err the vote the party pohed IN 1908,
the greater would be its vote in 1912.
The writer points out that IN states
Chain vote fell off. while IN those
that turned down the bills or the
Anti-Saloon League Chain got more
votes than Swallow did IN 1904. In
part II reads:
TT is almost invariably true that
all the achievements OF which the
inter-partisan temperance workers
boast were made possible by the in-
crease Of our party vote. The COM
verse IS also true. Where the Pro-
hibitloinist vote falls of the politi-
cans lay IL 20 the inter-partisan or
carnations and do not hesitate 10
turn them down which helps to in
crease Prohibitionits vote
County option. wherever passed
has proved harmful 10 the Prohibit
ton party, and viii do so until tho
honest men who support &c learn
what a farce 70 really is I'm SITS opera
tions. If the whole country showed
a proportionate loss I'm the Prohibi-
ton party vote 10 that shown in
Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Kentucky and
Oregon. tho states IN which county
laws have been passed since the cam-
paign OF 1904. Mr. Chain would have
polled about 2O.16S votes, the smallest
vote Of any polled by any OF our cam
ddates since 1884.
con the other hand n the whole
country showed a proportionato gain
In the Prohibition party vote as shown
by the states where county option was
turned down. Mr. Chain would have
polied Sl6.476 more votes than the
highest vote ever polled for a prohi-
biuonist."
