years at the least. Anti-prOhibitiOn
leaders felt that they had won vic
tory when they placed a provision in
the Sheppard resolution providing that
ii would be imperative if not ratified
by the legislatures of three-fourths OF
the states within seven years.
The Sheppard prohibition amend
ment, which has just been ratified by
more than three-fourthS of the states
of the Union. the number required to
make it effective, becomes. the eight
eenth amendment to the Constitution.
The resolution providing for its sub
mission to the state legislatures, intro
duced by Senator Norris Sheppard of
Texas, was finally adopted by congress
December is, 1917. On January 16,
1919. less than thirteen months after
the adoption of the resolution by con-
greSS ratification of the amendment
by the states was accomplished. No
other proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution has been adopted with such
speed, with the exception of that
which provided for the abolition of
slavery. Action on the seventeen other
amendments that have been adopted
has required from nine to forty-three
months
The war is given the credit for has
tening the adoption of prohibition in
this country. The economic aspect of
the question was emphasized by the
war emergency, and the handwriting
on the wall was seen when congress
passed a law providing for nation
wide prohibition as a war measure. to
become effective July l, 1919, and to
continue until the armies of the Unit
ed States have been demoblized. If
this law goes into effect, as contem-
plated, the country will go dry July l.
although the constitutional amend
ment will not become effective until
one year after its ratification by the
required number of state legislatures.
Text of Amendment
The text of the resolution embody-
ing the amendment which has now
been adopted is as follows:

Before Congress 40 Years.

Bills providing for nationwide prohi-
bitiOn by legislation and resolutions
proposing constitutional amendments
for the same purpose have been before
congress almost continually for more
than 40 years. Senator II. w. Blair of
New Hampshire proposed the first
amendment in 1876 This provided only
for the prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of Spirituous distilled liquors
for beverage purposes. He introduced
a similar measure nine times, chang
ing it in 1886 to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Congressman Hobson of Alabama in
PRODUCED the famous "HObSon reSolu-
ton" in the house December 10, 1913.
The resolution came TO vote Deem
Der 80, 1914, but received only 1917
votes, while 25S were necessary for its
adoption.
There is probability that antiprohi-
bition forces will attempt to secure an
annulment of the ratification vote in
several states and will attack the le-
gahty of the action of congress. In
San Francisco a court order has been
secured restraining Governor Stephens
temporarily from signing the ratitica
ton of the amendment. 1t has been
stated that similar action may be taken
in other states. including Arkansas,
Colorado, Maine. Nevada, New Mexico.

by the state legislatures may be sub

Attorneys for the liquor interests
claim that there are many points on
which the amendment may be attacked
in the courts and plans have been
made, ii is declared, for action along
these lines.

First National Ticket.
Nearly three years later, on Wash1

met in convention in Columbus, O., to-
place a national ticket in the field
James Black was nominated for presl-
dent and John Russell for vice presi-
dent. Mr.. Black was a prominent Good
Templar and also was one OF the
founders of the National Temperance
Society and Publication house and OF
the Camp Meeting association at
Ocean Grove, N. J. Mr.. Russell, also
a leader of the Good Templars and a
Methodist minister, was known as the
father of the Prohibition party. for he
published newspaper, the Penlnsular
Herald, which led the way in advcSat-
ing the organization of the party for
political action.
With all their devotion to the cause,
the Prohibition leaders had no hope of
success in the election of 1872, and
they were not disappointed. Their
ticket received only 5,607 votes. This
did not discourage them, and four
years later they put Green Clay Smith
of Kentucky and Gideon T. Stewart
on the ticket. These, gentlemen re-
ceived 9,737 votes. General Neal Dow

to the Republican convention great
petition asking that consideration be
given the pleas of the temperance adj
vocates, but it was ignored and even
thrown into the dirt on the floor. and
Miss Willard promptly turned to the
Prohibition party. Her help was wei
coined and John P. st. John of Kan

Civil war as lieutenant colonel of the

but his party thought him too warm a

was defeated for reelection in 1SS2.
