Prohibitionists to Celebrate Fortieth Anniversary of Party.

On September 24 the prohibitionists will celebrate in Chicago the fortieth anniversary of the founding of their party. In 1888 the popular vote in the Whole country for the prohibition presidential candidate was 249,907. In 1892 their vote was 264,133; in 1906, 132,536, and 1908, 260,000, in round numbers. It will be seen that the vote cast in 1908 is 4,000 less than was cast in 1892. This certainly indicates that while undoubtedly many have believed in the abolition of the liquor traffic, there has been no popular change of sentiment and consequent rush to the prohibition standard politically, of the great political organizations has suffered material inroads upon its voters by reason of the prohibition movement and neither has yet deemed it advisable to include a prohibition plank in its platform.
