New York state and, in consequence,
the nation. The Prohibitionists polled
the surprisingly large vote of 150,626.
That the Republicans credited them
with giving victory to the Democrats
was proved by the fact that in more
than a hundred cities st. John was
burned in effigy.
The Prohibition convention of 1896
split the party over woman suffrage
and money. The ''free silver" minor
ity formed Liberal party, with Bent
ley of Nebraska and Southgate OF
Illinois as it's standard-bearers. They
polIed about 1900 votes.

appeal to Governor Stanley. He told
her he did not approve of her methods.
She also addressed both houses OF the
state legislature. She visited Chicago

States Enact Dry Laws.
The activities of these early leaders
of the prohibition movement gradually
brought about the enactment of state
legislation prohibiting or regulating
the sale Of liquor. Some of the early
state laws provided for local option,
which made possible local prohibition,
as in Connecticut in 1889.
In 1887 Neal Dow, alarmed by the
vast quantities of rum entering Maine
through the West Indian trade, began
his agitation for prohibition in that
state. Stringent regulation of the
liquor traffic was established in sever
al states, but the passage of the Maine
prohibitory law in 1851 afforded the
first real test Of prohibition. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island in 1852
passed laws forbidding the sale Of
liquor; these laws were subsequently
repealed. Massachusetts adopted local
option by towns. Iowa passed con-
stitutional amendment in 1892; it was
declared void and was superseded by a
statute (1S84). This In turn was done
away with by the famous Mulct law.
which itself was modified. Several
states rejected prohibition sought to
be secured either through statnte or
by constitutional amendment. Kan
sas adopted prohibition in 1890 and a
little later openly violated the law. So
there was spasmodic activity in most
parts of the country toward pro-
hibition, but It was without plan or
cohesion. When the ratification Of the
eighteenth amendment began the situa-
ton by states as to prohibition was as
indicated by the following table:

The final adoption of nationwide
prohibition calls to memory numper
Of men and women who have achieved
not only national but worldwide fame
through their connection with the pro-
hibition. or, as it once was known, the
temperance movement.
Some of these persons who have
been most prominent in the movement
were active so long ago that their
names mean little to those who have
not been closely connected with the
prohibition movement, but others are
well remembered by the present gen.
GRAFTON. Among those who have won
the widest fame at various times
through their. activity in this work
NAV be mentioned Gen. Neal Dow,
who is credited with bringing prohi-
bition to Maine, the first state to be-
come dry; John B. Cough, who be-
came a world-famous Temperance"
lecturer after having been drink adj
dict at twenty-five; Frances E. VIII
lard, who personifies the W. G. I. o.,
and Carrie Nation, the eccentric sa-
loon smasher, who died only a short
time ago after tempestuous career.
Gen. Neal Dow.
Neal Dow was born in Portland.
Me-, of Quaker parentage. He was
twice mayor of Portland and MEM
Der of the state legislature. He en-
tered the Civil war as colonel of the
Thirteenth Maine volunteers. He was
wounded and was prisoner in Libby
prison and was made brigadier gen.
eral for gallant service. Yet the coun-
try knows Neal Dow simply as ia
Their of the Maine Law" and as tenn
perance reformer. Maine passed the
law of which he was the author in
1851 and was the first state to estab-
lish prohibition. General Dow trav-
eled widely in foreign countries work
ing for temperance, and on his nine
tieth birthday memorial meetings
were held In many parts of the world.
He died in 1897.
John B. Cough, who was the first
temperance advocate to attract more
than local fame, was a native of Eng
land, where he was born in 1917, but
he came to the United States when he
was twelve years old. He learned the
bookbinding trade, but early became
addicted to liquor and could not hold
a position. He made such living as
he could by singing in saloons. Later
he made new start and married, but
when he lost his wife and child he
again took to drink and sank to new
depths.
The turning-point in his life came
when he was induced by a Massachu-
sets Quaker to sign total abstinence
pledge. He became temperance lee
turer, and after making many tours
in the United States he visited Eng
land, where he conducted two cam
paigns. His fame spread throughout
the English speaking nations and his
books have been translated into many
other languages.

In 1874 the National Woman's Chris

Cleveland, O., and Frances Willard

five years as corresponding secretary
and then became president. In 1893
she founded the Worlds w. G. T. u,

BEFORE congress ~ feaFSs
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 I'll. w. Blair of
New Hampshire proposed the first
amendment in 1875. This provided only
for the prohibition Of the manufacture
and sale of spirituous distilled liquors
for beverage purposes. He introduced
similar measure nine times, chang
ing 1t in 1886 to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Congressman Hobson Of Alabama in
troduced the famous 'Hobson resolu-
tom in the house December 10, 1913.
The amendment was amended many
times by Hobson himself, finally pro-
viding for q division of responsibility
for the enforcement of the law be-
tween state and federal governments.
This was done to secure the support
of certain advocates Of Estate rights"
The resolution came to vote Decem-
Der %, 1914, but received only 1917
votes, while 258 were necessary for its
adoption.
In 1914 Senator Works Of California
introduced a bill providing for the pro-
hibition of spirituous liquors, including
wine and beer, but 1t received little
support from prohibition leaders and
did not come to a vote.

Tie.Up Set for Nov. :
Recalled 100 Sailors Started
Russian Revolt; Leader
Promises a Like Action

PARIS, Oct. 80 (By The Associated
Press. Heavy pressure is being
brought to bear by Syndicalist leaders
upon railway men to endeavor to per
suade them to join the movement for
revolutionary general strike on No
vember l. Revolutionary orators at a
meeting of the Federation of Syndical-
lists to-day called upon the railroad
men to demand an increase in wages of
1000 francs (S200), not, as Citizen ST.
role admitted, with the idea of gaining
this, but with the sole object of caus-
ing difficulties by the failure to OBJ
tain their demands
Railway brakemen and switchmen
had asked for a wage of $500 francs
(s76O), and from all indications it
seemed the demand would be granted.
VI. Sirolle therefore proposed they
should ask for $500 francs (s9GO),
! 900 francs more. because "the COM
rades must be kept busy with claims
for increased wages"
Cites Russian Revolution
Continuing, Citizen Sirolle cited as
an example the fact that the Russian
revolution was brought about by 100
sailors who seized the parliament
building. and said the railroad men
must act in similar manner.
81 have my hundred men ready
said NJ. Sirolle
1t was decided that work should stop
completely on all railroads at 3 o'clock
the afternoon of November Z.
"If we don't" said NJ Sirolle, "the
majority will never accomplish any
thing. We must give the signal and
try to get minority to lead the ma
!ority."
The absence from Paris of Leon
Jouhaux. pres ident of the Gen
eral Federation Of Labor. who is on
his way to attend the international
labor conference at Washington. is
considered to have given the extrem-
lists their opportunity to plan the
strike.
Opinions Of Unions Asked

throughout France asking the opinion
Of local committees as to the advisa-
bility Of ali organizations starting a
general strike in protest against in
tervention in Russia and convoking a
commission to examine the PROPOSE
tion.
Keen opposition to NJ. Jouhaux and
the other four delegates to the Wash
ington conference developed before the
missions departure. The extremists
opposed the voyage, claiming French
labor should not collaborate with GER
tain classes attending the conference
which they consider harmful! TO the
French worhingmen's interests.

that there are between twentysix and
