Prohibition Party predictions fall short in national bid
The Prohibition National Party predicted at least 2,000,000 votes for their presidential candidate next November, but in the last election they gathered only 25,840 votes. Analysts note the party has been a longtime fixture, yet its peak vote was 264,143 twenty years ago, highlighting its failure to sway public opinion. The piece argues drink reform is a physiological economic moral issue, not a political solution, asserting virtue is personal not legislated.

Des Moines candidates for the state legislature favor the Shankland ballot plan to let communities decide liquor regulation by vote instead of petition.
