This week will witness the final tabulation in | the Literary Digest's much discussed and sharply de- | bated Prohibition Poll. Whatever attitude one may | have taken regarding the canvass and the meaning of the respective votes, all must admit that it has| struck a popular chord. The ninth report of the| count, under date of May 17, showed a total of 4,562,761, the largest vote ever tabulated by the | Digest in any poll. The final figures probably awill| be in excess of five million. This is approximately | 15 per cent. of the voting population of the cmm-; try, sufficiently strong to form a basis for estimat-| ing how the voters as a whole feel about the| Prohibition problem. The tabulation gave 1,386,216 for enforcement, 1,340,441 for modification and 1,836,104 for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Twenty-one States gave pluralities for enforcement, two for modifica- | tion and 25 for repeal. Five States still give ma-‘ Jorities for enforcement—five for repeal. The former are Kansas, North Carolina, Arkansas, 0kln~" homa and Tennessee while Connecticut, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey and Rhode Island carry the‘ banner of repeal. Drys, who have maintained that Prohibition ad- herents have refrained from voting, will find little | solace in the poll which shows Kansas's vote still climbing and other Dry States continuing to vote dry in about the same percentage as was indicated in former reports. Nor will the special tabulation | of defective votes which was carried by The Digest | afford them a great deal of comfort. There has been much argument pro and con about where the modification vote should be placed. Drys have| argued that it should be combined with enforce- ment as both were opposed to repeal. Wets replied that modification was a vote of protest against the present system and as such should propm'lyi be linked with repeal which also represented the | demand for a change. Earlier in the poll, it was suggested that the defective ballots might throw | some light on the subject. That is, the trend of mind of those who voted for modification might be} Indicated by determining in what percentage those | who had marked their ballots in two places had' voted for repeal and enforcement. In publishing: @ list of defective ballots, the Digest announced a | total of 85674. Of this number 2527 voted for enforcement and modification and 83,147 for modi- | fication and repeal. If, therefore, this indicates | the frame of mind of the modificationists, the ma- Jority against the present sytsem is large enough to impress even an apparently Dry Congress, and to offer encouragement to the forces that’ are work- Ing for a change. For instance in North Carolina, where enforcement has a majority of 755, the de- fective vote balance is sufficiently large to put the | Drys in a minority. And the same is true of Tennessee. On the other hand, the defective vote In the five Wet States would add to their varying degrees of wetness. The closing report on the poll will come this week. It will be awaited with interest throughout the country. Probably it will the Wets or Drys, but it will furnish legislators | and candidates for lawmaking bodies, as well as political organizations generally, with material for much pondering during the next few months, PORT ANGELES JOINS 10,000-CLUB. Port Angeles, Wash., has joined the 10,000-club, that is the cities in the country having a population of 10,000 or more. Preliminary Federal census figures | While off duty. recently gave it a tally of 10,052. This is an in- crease of more than 87 per cent. during the past decade, the count in 1920 being 5351. The biggest factor in its remarkable growth dur- ing the past ten years has been the development of the woodpulp and paper manufacturing industry in Port Angeles. It stands today as the pulp center of the northwest and, with continued expansion in that and allied industries, its growth in the next decade should be as satisfactory as in the one Just closed. Juneau is on the eve of a similar growth in Within a short time, the beginning of the establisment of pulp and manufacturing plants here will be seen. By should not be materially less, if any at all, than of Port Angeles today. LOCATING THE MISSING. One last appeal is to be made to the Allied its to locate some of the army of missing who disappeared between 1914 and 1918. The _number listed in the Allied countries and Ger- w is 85,000.
