The Fourth Ratification.

Prohibition is marching on through
the legislatures. South Carolina has
now joined Mississippi, Virginia and
Kentucky in ratifying the federal
amendment, making four states that
have approved the proposal, or one
ninth of the necessary number. Seven
more legislatures meet this year in reg.
ular session Massachusetts,
Maryland, New jersey, New York, Rhode
Island and Louisiana. OF these Georgia
is the only one now wholly dry, and
ratification is expected there without
question. This will make five ratihca-
tions out Of eleven sessions, or not a
sufficient proportion for the present test
of strength. Success, however, is pre-
dicted by the prohibitionists in New
York, Maryland and Louisiana, which
would give eight ratifieations out of
eleven, or shade more than three
fourths. Still the main fight will come
in next falls elections, when the legis-
latures Of thirty-four states will be
chosen, Of which seventeen are now
wholly dry. Should the amendment be
ratified this year by eight of the eleven
states in regular session and by all of
those next year that are now dry the
total would be twenty-five, or eleven
less than the requisite number, making
it needful to overturn ten states in next
falls election, Washington, which is now
dry, meeting next year without an in
teryening election.
