the drunkenest State in the Union. The people of that State, at last

ashamed of that stigma, attempted to remove the obnoxious law of pro'

hibition from its constitution. A vote was taken in 1911. The wets did

not succeed in bringing the State to their side, but they only failed by the

small number of 700 votes, thus showing that after an experience of over

fifty years nearly 60,000 voters had changed their minds and gone from dry

to wet.
