EIGHTY PER CENT
OF NORTH DAKOTA
TO VOTE u. $. DRY

Competent forecasters predict that
80 per cent of the legislative votes
cast in North Dakota on the question
OF adopting prohibition amendment
to the federal constitution will be in
the affirmative. If there is any wet
sentiment in North Dakota, it is con
fined today almost entirely to the
very small number who in the old
days reaped harvest of gold and an
occasional Jail or penitentiary sent
ence from illicit traffic in liquor
And this element is much smaller
than it was five years ago. Many old
time blindpiggers have reformed and
become substantial good citizens
They would he among the first tc
raise their voices in favor of national
prohibition.
North Dakota as a state has never
known legally licensed saloon. A
prohibition amendment was included
in the constitution adopted in 1885,
after warm fight in convention. For
many years after the state was theore
tically dry, saloons flourished in the
cow-towns west of the river. In the
capital city, itself, wide-open, saloons
existed within the last quarter-cen
tury.s The fact that they have gone
is due to gradual crystalization of
public sentiment against the liquor
traffic rather than to any excessive
viligence on the part OF law-enforce
ment agencies and professional farm
ers. With the passing of the open
saloon, came the blindpigger and the
bootlegger, and slowly but surely
they, too, were frozen out. At first
tolerated as, violators of law waived
by more or less common consent,
slowly but surely they came to be
looked upon first as undesirable ant
then as dangerous citizens, a menace
to the community upon which they
preyed, and, altho at one time, the.
flourished and had a powerful protec-
tive organization prepared with abund
ant finances to fight the prosecution
of any of their members, they are to-
day, as a class, almost extinct, con
fined to very few throw-backs whose
days are numbered.
In the early days of constitutional
prohibition many re-submission cam

Until July I, 1917, vast quantities
of liquor were legally imported into
North Dakota by people who main
tanned wcll-stocked cellars for per-
sonal use. This was permitted under
the constitution. In the last legisla-
tive session, with so few dissenting
votes that they were hardly counted,
North Dakota was voted "bone dry
The importation of intoxicants was
confined to registered pharmacists un-
Ter severe restrictions assuring that
t be designed for medicinal or scien-
ific uses. Law enforcement officers
we're empowered to revoke the lic-
enses of pharmacists violating the
bone dry act, and heavy fines and
)enal sentences were provided. In
cooperation with the federal Webb
Kenyon act, the North Dakota statute
placed the burden of proof as to Ne
gality of liquor shipments on inter-
state carriers. and made the traffic
so unpopular that it has been an utter
mpossibility to induce any freight or
express company to accept for trans
portation into North Dakota intoxic-
ants whose legitimate purchase is not
:learly established. Drunkenness has;
been almost entirely eliminated. In
all of the large cities police court
business has been greatly reduced,
and jails have been almost depopu-
lated. North Dakota thoroughly ap-
proves of real prohibition, and it will
voice that approval when its legisla-
ture given an opportunity to vote on
the federal amendment.
