As a result of the elections through out the United States on November 5, antt-saloon workers In Oregon are assured by the officers of the National Anti-Saloon League that the ratifica tion of the National prohibition amend ment by 36 of the 48 states Is certain. In a letter reaching Oregon head quarters of the league yesterday the officers of the National organization confidently predict that the ratifica tion of the amendment by the requisite 36 states will be completed by March, 1919. The next step by the antl-Iiquor forces will be to secure the enactment of legislation by Congress and In the various states to enforce the provisions of the constitutional amendment. In the recent election Ohio, Florida, Nevada and Wyoming voted dry and elected ratification Legislatures. The official count of Minnesota, which at first appeared to have voted dry, shows that the state has remained in the wet column. The drys also lOLi New Jersey, but they are greatly encouraged by the fact that many of the municipalities In that state voted "no license." The four st js that voted dry In the election this month Ohio. Florida, Ne vada and Wyoming added to the 14 states that have ratified- the amend ment and the 19 states that are now dry, and which, according to the 'cal culations of the Anti-Saloon League, are sure to ratify the amendment, will make a total .f 37 states, or one more than the required two-thirds of the states to give the constitutional amend ment effect. In addition, the prohibition advocates report that Vermont, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, California and Pennsylvania have elected Legislatures that can be depended upon to ratify the amendment. These forces also claim to have a fight ing chance to put their amendment over in tha states of New York and Connec ticut. They also regard that Rhode Island is a possibility. The order in which 14 states already have ratified the Nation-wide dry amendment to the Constitution follows: Mississippi, Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Dakota, -Maryland, Mon tana, Texas. Delaware, South Dakota, Massachusetts, Arizona, Georgia, and Louisiana. The amendment is assured of ratifi cation by the Oregon Legislature when It convenes next January. The great majority of the members of both houses are already pledged to vote affirma tively on the question. WOMEN ACTIVE INM0RT0N Movement on to' Elect Feminine Town Officers.
