By B. C. Hoyt. The Prohibition vote in Kansas for Wooley in 1900, was for Emerson, in 1902, it was and for Swallow, in 1904, it was 7,245 about 3-44 per cent of the total cast. The vote cast for Mr.

Emerson was not a fair index of the strength of the party, but was largely a tribute to his personal reputation and eloquence, as witness the largely increased Prohibition vote in Shawnee and four or five adjacent counties, where Mr. Emerson was well known and had many friends. In Shawnee he polled a vote of 790, which was about 650 more than the real Prohibition party vote. In the five or six counties including and law.

The tfosf-important cause of ouf Increased vote, judging from the election" reports, it seems to mc, was the county organization work done in about 25 of the counties, especially that done by DcLay, Hoyt and others in something like 15 or 20 of those counties. This work comprised making a three to eight weeks' poll of voters, the wide circulation of our state paper, public speaking and private canvassing. In some places one or more of these means only was followed.

A second cause was the straight Prohibition party work done by ministers from their pulpits and in social conversation. Another quite important cause of increase was the agitation caused by Mrs. Nation and her followers, who brought to light and notice matters not well known before, and demonstrated to the people the falsehood, puerility and cowardice of the claim that the law could not be enforced, and that all was being done by the parties in power that could be done. We also note the inlluencc of state and national Prohibition papers and other literature as important causes. We also consider quite important the work done by the Mcnclcys, the Don-sibs, Delay and others.

Last, though perhaps no't least, was the judicious personal, unorganized, local work of the common people in the daily walks of life, in conversation, in literary societies, in Sunday schools, class meetings, prayer meetings, conventions and elsewhere, by word of mouth, by letters and by forc.utcnt.
