Debates Over Prohibition Amendment and Editorial Conflict
A North Central newspaper excerpt defends its anti Amendment stance against rival charges of cowardice. It disputes authorship claims, cites editor reflections, and notes Illinois county results indicating cross party support for the amendment. The piece critiques Democratic demagoguery and analyzes county voting patterns for the measure.
Democrats Shifted Balance in Amendment Vote Across Townships
The state reports show Democratic townships and precincts voting nearly for the amendment while majorities in counties exceeded usual Republican margins. A county by county analysis and comparison with past state elections suggests many Democrats supported the amendment, enough to alter the outcome if they had voted against it. The Democrats held power but voted in favor, influencing results.

Contested Basis for Congressional Convention Calls
