Prohibition Advance.

Six months ago there were nine
prohibition states. Today there
are nineteen, provided the governor
of Utah signs the bill just passed
by the legislature: An increase of
more than 100 per cent in less than
half year! Arkansas, Iowa and
Idaho were all made dry last month
by legislative enactment, the law
to 60 into effect january l, 1916.
South Dakota's legislature has sub
mitted the question to popular vote
at the next election. The lower
house of Vermont has passed a pro-
hibition referendum bill. South
Carolina, tired of its unsatisfac-
tory dispensary law, has referred
the question of statewide prohibi-
tion to the people, vote to be taken
September ID. Montana has sub
mitted statutory law to be voted
upon in 1915.
In eight other legislatures state
wide prohibition measures have been
introduced, namely, New York, Della
ware, New Hampshire, New Mexico,
Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Wisconsin. States planning for
campaigns next year are, Califor-
mia, Florida, Kentucky, Nebraska,
Texas, Wyoming. Ohio enters a

DR.. E. Clay Doyle. of Seneca, is
mentioned as a probat.r candidate.
Henry. c. Tillman, Senator Ben's
younger son, now Ill attorney Of
Greenwood, is likely to shy his cas-

nent and progressive Pendleton
farmer, is figured upon as a posi-
bility. And doubtless vhcre will
be others on the track When the
flag falls for the race to start in
1916. An old saying declares "the
more the merrier, but the fewer the
better fair" If a Candidate for re-
election be opp.:"c!, his chances are
improved by having many rather
