PROHIBITIONISTS ARE FOR LITTLE
It is Reported That They May En
dorse the Democratic Nomi
nee For Governor
It is reported that there is a
probability that in lieu of nominat
ing a candidate of their own for
governor the Prohibitionists of
Arkansas will endorse Hon. .John
S. Little, the Democratic nominee.
Prominent men express the opin
ion that .Judge Little will poll the
full temperance voting strength of
the state, because of the esteem
and confidence in which he is held
by all.
While it is pointed out that the
prohibition nominee for governor
in 1904, J. E. Williams, received
only 2,527 votes in the state, it is
also to be remembered that the to
tal vote of the state was against
liquor license, the total figures on
this question at that election be
ing 68,963 for license and 70,916
against license.
Temperance leaders over the
state declare that .Judge Little’s
lead in the tight against the sale of
intoxicating liquors in the capitol
at Washington won him the ever
lasting gratitude of temperance
advocates all over the country.
They predict that he will receive
every Democratic vote and the
vote of practically every Prohi
bitionist in the election in Arkan
sas next September.
