Massachusetts Turns Toward Prohibition

MASSACHUSETTS is tired of saloons. Twenty-four more towns in that State held their annual meetings recently, and voted on the license question. Only one town out of the number voted for license, and three which went license last year changed to prohibition. The total vote on the license question in these 24 towns was 2,569 yes and 4,061 no, as against 2,361 yes and 3,424 no last year, showing a handsome gain for prohibition. Two large towns, Natick and Pepperell, changed from license by a majority for prohibition greater than was last year’s majority for license.—Selected.
