Synopsis
Excerpt from The Temperance Problem: Past and Future
Local option has been tried in several States. Better results seem to have been achieved in Massachusetts than elsewhere. In several of the Southern States, also, a feeling of satisfaction with its opera tion has been expressed, though generally the areas to which it has been confined are almost exclusively country districts. The caperi enese of Michigan and Missouri give a reverse side to the picture. In the former an important contention of critics seems to have been justified. The ratio of licenses to population in places not under local option increased, during the last census period, eight per cent.
