In many places, licenses were granted
in only the county seat or the larger town.
This very thing created much dissatisfac-
ton The towns under license took to
themselves all of the local license money
Then the county as whole had to pay the
expenses of taking care of the crime caused
by the sale of liquor. The country and
smaller towns were thus taxed to pay the
expenses incurred by the saloons in the
cities.
The penitentiary reports for the bien-
NAL period just closed are not yet avail
able, but the biennial period ending with
September 80, 1910 was the record used in
the campaign 1t showed I76 convicts re-
ceived from the dry counties, and OF from
the wet ones.

The story of the campaign for the
Prohibition amendment in West Virginia
is largely the story of Tom" Hare. In
the books, it is Or T. NJ Hare" but all
over West Virginia it is simply tom"
Hare.
Hare came into the state some years
ago. labeled the superintendent of the
West Virginia Anti-Saloon League" He
held his head aloft in the air just as though
he owned property, and yet he walked
around among the common herd with all
the ease and grace of a Pekin duck
Hare soon came to know every hack
driver and hotel porter in the state. He
slapped them on the shoulder, and they
poked his ribs in return. "Have you got
a room with bed in it ?" Tom would bawl
out as he walked into the hotel. "Yes,

The Story Of West Virginia Great Fight

That section forty-six of article six of
said constitution as it now is be stricken
out and the following inserted in lieu
thereof:
Sec. 46. On and after the first day of
July, one thousand, nine hundred and four
teen, the manufacture, sale and keeping for
sale of malt, vinous or spirituous liquors,
wine, ale, porter, beer, or any Intoxicating
drink, mixture or preparation of like ma
ture, except as hereinafter provided, are
hereby prohibited in this state.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
manufacture and sale and keeping for sale
of such liquors for medicinal, pharma-
ceutical, mechanical sacramento, and scien-
tihc purposes and the manufacture and sale
of denatured alcohol for industrial purposes
may be permitted under such regulations as
the legislature may prescribe. The legisla-
ture shall, without delay, enact such laws,
with regulations, conditions, securities and
Dena1ties as

and the proposition was defeated with much
irreverent raillery on the part of the poll
ticians. They didn't understand.
But the legislators got themselves on
record. The result was that Hare went out
into the mountains and told how about it
to the people. When the next legislature
met, only three of the recalcitrant legis-
lators were able to "come back" the voters
attended to their case. That tanned the poll
ticians; they would come right up and eat
out of Hare's hand. Both of the old po-
litical parties declared in convention for the
submission of the constitutional amendment,
and it was submitted, the vote to be taken
on November s. 1912.
The proposed amendment read as fol-
lows:

and we have begun straining the
flies out of the soup since you were
here last" the clerk would retort.
This. sort of horse play meant
little as it occurred from time to
time, but it was all big with mean
ing when the time came to poll the
votes. The people had instinctively
begun to feel that it was their own
personal fight for freedom from
saloon domination and not the fight
of somebody outside of the state
or of some clergymen in the sane
tuary.
And while Tom Hare was JOSH
ing sinner and saint all over the
state, getting them in good humor,
band of the noblest women that
ever lived were working up another
canyon, along different lines, but to
the same mountain goal. These
women, led by Mrs. Lenna Lowe
Yost, of Morgantown, presiden
of the state w. C. T. u, were
working all the time in perfect har-
mony with Hare, but until toward
the last neither fully knew it.
Initial Operations.
AS soon as Hare got his sea
legs, the movement began to sub
NIT the question of a constitutional
amendment to the people.
Two years ago this matter
was threshed out in the legislature,

essary to carry into effect the pro-
visions of this section.
The result is now a matter of
history. The people ratified the
amendment by a vote of I63,673 to
72,I7o, majority of oI,5o3.
License Conditions.
After Virginia seeded from
the union at the outbreak of the
Civil War, the counties which now
comprise the state of West Virginia
seeded in turn from the mother
state and rejoined the union, form
ing new state. From that time
to the present, the license policy
has been followed In that time,
the various legislatures have passed
more than twenty laws, all looking
to the curing of the evils of the sa-
loon by regulating it in some form
or another. Each one of these laws
has utterly failed in its purpose, and
the people began to think.
The state has no local option
law. The licensing authority lies in
the county court, and the granting
of a license is in the discretion of
the court. SO the people had drift
ed into the policy of electing county
judges who would refuse to grant
any licenses. In this way, the sa-.
loon had been driven out of about
three-fourths Of the state.
