CH.U'IN PREDICTS VICTOItV.
Resume of Prohibition Movement in
Iloooiit Elections of the Nation.
Chicago, III., Nov. 17. (Special.)
Now that the various party managers
have figured out Just how badly Bryan
was beaten by Taft, they are turning
their attention to an analysis of the
vote cast at the recent election. One
of the most Interesting features in this
Connection Is the statement of Eugene
V. Chufln. prohibition candidate for
president, who, at the ' Washington
home the other night said that the
prohibition'- movement on November 3
received a decided setback. Mr. Cha-
fln says:
"With the aid of the liquor business
the republicans carried New York
City, Chicago, St. Louis and Cincin
nati. Every temperance candidate of
prominence on both sides was knocked
out at the recent election, Including
Governor Folk of Missouri. This moan
that the fight will be between the re
publicans and the 'prohibitionists from
now on, and I am confident that a
prohibitionist will be elected president
in 1912.
"There arc many thousands of vot
ers In both parties who are ready to
come with us Just as soon as they are
convinced that whisky dominates the
present elections. We are sure to
win."
That the prohibition movement made
no headway, as Mr. Chufln Intimates,
Ib borne out by an analysis of, the votes
in the various states. The storm cen
ter of the prohibitionists' fight in the
lection was In Indiana, Ohio, Illinois,
South Dakota, Rhode Island, Minne
sota and Tennessee. In each of these
states the prohibitionists were defeat
ed and a number of welt known candi
dates who championed their cause
failed in election.
Probably the hottest contest over
the prohibition question wps In Indi
ana, because of its pivotal character
In the national election. Governor J.
P. Hanley, republican, Is a well known
prohibition advocate, and secured con
trol of the republican state convention.
He secured a county option plank in
on Watches

the platform. The democratic party
plattorm advocated village and town-
hlr option. Governor lianiey, now-
ever, was not satisfied and as the cam
paign progressed, called a special ses
jlon of the legislature which was re
oubllean. and procured the passage of
a county option law. In this step be
.vas ably assisted by the republican
nominee for governor, James . Wat-
son, ana unneo Biaif r -
nwav. The action of the governor
caused much criticism and In the cam-
, ;;i,n vm.iv ciiW Nrcwrt.;th s
Hue. The state went rpubilcan on
nresldent by 10,000 plurality, but the
republican- candidate for governor,
WatHon, was defeated by Marshall,
U-moerat, by over 18.000, while the
republicans also lost the legislature,
which will now elect a democratic
United States senator to succeed Sen.
itnr Hemenway. Oovernor Hanley s as
sociate In the county option fight.
In Ohio, the birthplace of the Anti
Saloon league, the lines between the
prohibitionists and the liberals were
sharnlv drawn. The Anti-Saloon ele
ment championed the cause of Gov
ernor Harris, candidate for re-c-lectlon.
Harris hud been prominent during his
administration as an advocate of pro
hibition and had obtained the passage
of the Hose county option law by the
legislature. Ii the campaign, he was
opposed by Judxon Harmon, the dem
ocratic candidate, who was supported
by the more liberal voters of the state..
The result was thut Ohio gave Taft
65.000 plurality, but In spite of this
sweeping republican victory, the re
publican candidate on a prohibition
platform went down In defeat and his
democratic opponent, was elected by
over 20,000. State P.eniitors Rose,
.- ites. Meek and Drake, who we'o lieu
tenants of Harris In his -Anti-Saloon
campaign, also were defeated. Itose
was the father of the county option
law und Drake the chairman of the
committee of the legislature having
charge of all temperance legislation.
In Illinois the Anti-Saloon people
centered their flsht In an effort to
capture'the legislature for county op
tion. Returns show that they were
overwhelmingly defeated, 75 per cent
of the members elected to the senate
and house being opposed to county op
tion. The loader of the local option
forces In the last leglsiatureT O. F.
nerrv. was retired. '

countv option was squarely presented
to the people of the entire state under
the initiative and referendum, me
nrohlbltlonlsts and the Anti-Saloon
leaguers had Joint headquarters ana
made a vigorous fight. County option
r - - - -
uo. defeated by 7000. The defeat of
th ouestlon Is more decisive In South
Dakota because It Is a purely agricul
tural state and In recent years naa ex-
nHenc in state prohibition.
The Anti-Saloon league selected
Rhode Island as a point In which to
test Us strength In New England. Two
weeks before the election under a tie
elslon of the supreme court, It became
necessary for the state as a whole to
vote on the question of license or no
license. A short tut lively campaign
followed and resulted in the wets re-
" - 3V.T.3 M!B" they
had and regaining seven more towns
that had previously gone dry. The
aggregate majority of the towns fa
voring licenses was 20,000 or more.
The verdict of the voters of Tennes
see who In the June primaries voted
against state wide prohibition, was
sustained In the general election. At
the primaries Governor M. R. Patter
son, democrat, opposed E. S. Car
mack, editor of the Tenncsseean of
Nashville. Carmack favored state pro
hlbltion and after his defeat bolted the
primary decision and the platform and
continued his fight for state-wide pro
hibition. Patterson was re-elected by
35,000, running 10.000 ahead of the
rational ticket. A majority of the
legislature Is opposed to state-wide
prohibition and will stand by Gover
nor Patterson's policies.
The main Issue in the election of a
legislature In Minnesota was county
option. -'The fight was carried on in
nearly every district and as the con
test progressed candidate Jacobson,
lepublicitn nominee for governor,
came out squarely for county option.
He declared against the saloon In gen
eral. The result was that while Taft
carried the state by 75,000, Johnson,
the democratic candidate for gover
nor, was re-elected for a third term by
over 30,000. and the legislature is two
to one against county option.
In Colorado, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and idaho tne lewues were ulentk-al.
The county option question did not en
ter Into the state campaign, but an ef
fort was made by the Anti-Saloon
forces to capture the legislature. In
all three states the attempt failed and
a majority of the legislators chosen In
each state are opposed to county op
