WYOMING VOTERS LED
IN PROHIBITION MARCH
Had Already Decreed Dry Condi-
ton for January !, 192O-Gave
Largest Per Capita Majority.

CHEYENNE. wyo.. June 21.-wy-
oming. long the oasis of this section
of the west, will enter the ranks of
prohibition states on July 1. Sale and
manufacture Of liquor within the
state will cease on that date. regard
less of whether national prohibition
is effective in the nation.
Under terms of the constitutional
amendment adopted by the voters at
last November's election, Wyoming
When the legislature met last Janu-
airy. however. 1t was deemed advis-
able to put the state law into effect
July l. this year. at the same time
prohibition would be effective. A law
was passed by the legislature author
izing this.
In addition to the power placed by
state law in the hands Of a state pro-
hibition commissioner. there will be
a law enforcement league, privately
financed and privately operated to
enforce the new law. This league al
ready has begun the work of keeping
Wyoming free Of illegal manufacture
and sale Of liquor after July /.
State house gossip is that Fred l..
Crabbe. now superintendent of the
Wyoming Anti-Saloon League, will be
chosen prohibition commissioner.
Not only bootleggfng but CONNER
cial traffic in liquor must cease In &C.
cordance with the wishes of the peo-
pIe" said Mr.. Crabbe in a stateme mt
to the Associated Press. The voters
gave the largest per capita dry ma
jority of any state in the Union and
they are going to see that the law
will be enforced. The law as passed
by the legislature Is one of the most
drastic of its kind"
Saloons in Wyoming now pay a COM
bined revenue of 100000 for privi-
lege of operating. In the face of the
approaching dry spelr' breweries are
turning to other lines. Most of them
will manufacture soft" drinks
Data gathered in the three largest
cities in the state-Sheridan, Casper
and Cheynne-shows virtually every
barroom and saloon has been spoken
for by proprietors of candy shops,
soft drink parlors. cafes, music
stores and restaurants.
Saloon men are cleaning out their
stocks as rapidly as possible. 1t Is
stated with authority that respect
able citizens Of the state who lay in
a moderate supply of liquor now for
their own use after July ! will not
be molested, but the authorities have
announced there will be eternal and
vigilent warfare waged on the man
who seeks to buy now and sell later.
Mail order business practically is at
standstill. the Reed law having
stopped much OF the importation into
nearby states -.
