Wtl Again—What Next?
The Fort Worth Record commends
Chairman Ball of the State-Widers
for the spirit with which he took de-
feat in the recent election.
^Chairman Wolters of the Anti's
declared before the election that his
side would not be satisfied with v
thing less than an overwhelm.bg
majority and a decisive victory.
The amendment was lost by a
small number, anything but a de-
cisive victory for the Anti's, in fact
it could well be said: "In the midst
of victory they are undone."
The question is—"Wet Again—
What Next?"
All this talk about contesting the
election may be ill advised and un-
less there is strong evidence of
wholesale fraud, no good could be
accomplished for the Pro side.
The saloon question is being dis-
cussed in every state in the Union,
and in every county in the states.
Prohibition of the liquor traffic is
fast becoming the issue. At no dis-
tant day it will invade the sacred
precincts of the national parties and
the question will become national-
wide.
But the Texas Pros now have sev-
eral avenues open to them. The
widest field is to push local option
in all counties which a possible
majority for state'* tL.Tprohibition.
The Anti's have promised from the
press and the stump to help local
option. "Local self government"
was their battle cry. The next step
is to center on a strong, good man
to defeat the present gubernational
incumbent at the next general elec-
tion. He is an avowed saloon ad-
vocate and declared from the stump
that prohibifion could not be enforc-
ed. In as much as the execution
sentiment has largely to do with law
enforcement, it would be well to
make a change.
In connection with the election of
a governor in sympathy with the
state-wide movement, all state offi-
cers and representatives should be
of the same faith and kind. With
the Capital filled with the right kind
of men it would be easy to pass
stringent "regulation, moderation
and peace" laws. And then when
the time was ripe for submission, the
dominant party would gladly allow
the people to vote on a similar
Iment. In the mean time the
>unties and the state depart-
jhould get in after the whiskey
>w operating in Texas. If it
iwful for harvest machine
and oil trusts to operate in
te why is it right for a whiskey
|o do business? Talk about
of revtn^n^ien the saloons

,re thrAr cap by collecting a

In 1911 the total pro vote was
230,464; the total anti vote, 237,022.
This is an increase of 101,194 votes
for the pros and only 16,395 for the
antis, that is an increase of 78 2-10
per cent for prohibition sentiment
and only 7 4-10 per cent increase
against prohibition.
It the pro vote has increased 78.2
per cent in 24 years and the anti
vote nas increased 7.4 per cent in tbe
same time, how many times faster
has the pro vote increased than the
anti vote ? If the anti majority was
101,194 in '87 and only 6,558 in
1911, how many years must elapse
before the pros would have 5,000
majority ?

A Change of Sentiment.
Twenty-four years ago, that is in
1887, the first state wide prohibition
election was held in Texas. A study
of the figures of that election and of
the present recent one will indicate
tbe growth of the prohibition senti-
ment in Texas.
Out of a total vote of 349,917 in
1887, thele were 129,270 cast for
pro ticket and 220,627 for the anti
side, a majority of 91,357 votes
against amendment. This shows
that 63 per cent of the voters of
Texas were opposed to prohibition
and only 37 per cent favored it.
The antis argued then as they did in
the recent campaign that they were
opposed to the intemperate use of
whiskey and its attendant evils, and
favored the abolition of the saloon
by education. "Teach your boys
not to drink, ' they said, "and the
saloon will be unnecessary. Create
a healthy public sentiment against
the saloon business," they advised.
This education has been going on.
Over half of the counties of the state
have "gone dry" under the advised
educational plan and local option.
The good results of this temperance
education has had a telling effect
upon the sentiment of the voters of
the state, as will be seen from a
caretul comparison of the recent
election with the election in '87.
