SENTIMENT AGAINST PROHIBITION IN N. D. APPEARS INCREASING Returns on “Straw” Poll Show Wets Leading Drys By 2.8 to1 Anti-prohibition sentiment in North Dakota has increased in the last two} years, returns from this state in the Literary Digest's poll on the 18th! amendment indicate. | The latest North Dakota returns show those favoring repeal of the} amendment leading those supporting continuance of prohibition by a mar- gin of 2.8 to 1, whereas the corre-| sponding report for this state in 1930 | showed the combined forces of modi- ficationists and repealists leading the Prohibitionists by a margin of only 2.22 to 1. Saturday's issue of the Literary Di- gest will announce that of the North Dakotans to vote, 1,802 favor con- tinuance while 5,060 recommend re- Peal of the prohibition amendment. This state's vote for the corre- sponding tabulations two years ago showed: For enforcement 6,392; for modification 6,500; and for repeal 1,735. Thirty-three states are voting More than 2 to 1 wet as more than 3,000,000 ballots from all 48 states are tabulated, the magazine will say Saturday. The 33 states represented in this ‘wet group have a combined popula- tion of more than 86,000,000 persons, as enumerated in the latest census figures. Eight of these states register a vote! of more than 4 to 1 for repeal. A total of 3,040,036 votes are tallied | this week in the “straw” referendum, of which 763,175, or 25.1 per cent, are dry and 2,276,861, or 749 per cent, are wet. The dry vote scored its fifth con- secutive gain this week, rising from 15.85 per cent of the total vote of the first week's returns to 25.1 per cent in the current sixth tabulation. Kansas still is the only state vot- ing bone dry but North Carolina is within a fraction of one per cent of registering a vote for continuance of the 18th amendment.
