Ex-Senator Tom Sumner, of Ever

one of the best known politicians of

other Everett men, organised a com

Mabton In the Yakima valley. The

acres above the ditches, and will at

"This Yakima proposition looks

Most people familiar with the con

Llould refreshments of an aicononc

complished by the local option law,
under which all the Important cities
of the state, except Wilmington, Salis
bury and Winston-Salem, have abol
ished saloons. Seventeen counties now
have dispensaries, but those will be
put out of business by prohibition.
. Public Sentiment Strong.
While public sentiment against the
liquor traffic is such that the measure
would probably have secured a ma
jority without any campaign what
ever, tne "arys nave m n
extensive crusade and have utilized
every possible method of turning pub
lic sentiment against the saloons.
Governor Glenn has been a leader In
temperanoe movement and has cover
ed a considerable portion or tne Biaie,
stumping for prohibition, during the
campaign. Prominent Jurists, clergy
men, lawyers, legislators and other
public men have also taken part In
the crusade against the rum demon,
with the end of making the assurance
of prohibition doubly ur. United
States Judge Peter C. Fritcnara nas
delivered several addresses and three
ex-governors, nearly all the North
Carolina congressmen ' and speakers
from other states have assisted In the

been one of the leaders of the crusade.

their poll tax prior to May 1. will be
allowed to participate. This win
largely eliminate the blacks and the
"poor white trash" of the cities and
backwoods districts, who would like
ly favor a "wet" regime. Two bal
lots will be used, one reading "For the
Manufacture and Sale of Intoxicating
Liquors" and the other "Against" that
proposition.
The campaign In North Carolina has
been marked by the religious, ethical
and emotional appeals that have been
so effective In other states and cities
of the south. Meetings have been
held in every school house and church
the speakers demanding In an Impas
sioned manner "the avlng of the
children and the home." Women and
children, praying and singing, have
held meetings' on the streets and
banners and posters bearing prohibi
tion sentiments have apeared every
where. - Temperance literature has
been spread broadcast through the
state.
The prohibition campaign In North
Carolina had Its Inception immediately
fnilnwlne the disfranchisement of
negro voters eight year ago.' At that
time there were saloons in nearly
every county in the commonwealth,
and hundreds of distilleries, most of
which have already been put out of
business, were' running at their full
capacity. The distilling Industry waa
a large and important one, but the
prohibitionists assert that th state
has been more prosperous since most
of them have been abolished than be
fore. Crimes Less Frequent.
As in other sections of the south,
the race question has played an Im
portant part in the prohibition cam
paign. It Is alleged that crimes
against women have become much
less frequent In all parts of the souui
where prohibition has been- enforced
and that the traffic in vile liquors has
been largely responsible for the com
mission of such crimes.
That "respectable" whites will not
be foroed to totally abstain from in
toxicants under a prohibition regime
is evidenced by the large number of
"prescriptions'" which have been
filled by druggists of the towns now
presumably "dry." Charlotte Is point
ed out as an example of this method
of evasion, since nearly 40,000 medical
prescription for ' "boose," mostly In
pint and quart quantities, have been
filled in the last year. The "Jug
houses" of neighboring states have
also served to ameliorate the arid con
dition in the "dry" counties and they
will doubtless contlnus to do an even
more flourishing business under the
prospective prohibition regime.
