fcC 4 fct 8
Yearly Massachusetts Referendum
Without any fuss or much public at
tention, the seventh annual referen
dum on the license and other questions
took place In all the thirty-three cities
of the Old Bay State on December 11
and 12, 1904. This method of settling
-what is everywhere a vexed question
Is so satisfactory, that it is accepted
by the people who use it as a matter
. of course. Once a year each city
votes on whether it will have license
or no license, each city deciding for
Itself. The voters of Brockton decide
for Brockton and have nothing to do
, with the decision in Taunton nor has
any other city In the state anything
to say about what Brockton shall do
on the license question save the voters
of Brockton only. This seems so common-sense
when clearly stated that at
once the question arises: "How could
' we do anything else?" and then the
direct legislation advocate asks, "Why
not extend this method to other ques
tions?" And the answer to this is
that it is being slowly extended. At
the same time, ten cities voted to stop
using the Luce caucus law and one
city, Northampton voted to use voting
machines. It would be used much more
frequently if only the legislature would
give the cities the opportunity to use
. it but as In every other state, the cities
of Massachusetts only have such pow
ers as the legislature is a mind to
give them.
v How did this voting go? The table
Khowa the results. A study of this ta
ble shows that where twenty-three
cities voted for license in 1904, eign
teen only voted for it in nine
- teen in 1902, twenty in 1901, nineteen
In 1S99, twenty-two in 1898 and nine
teen In 1897. So a larger number
voted for license this year than ever
before. As usual, the larger cities
voted for license and the smaller ones
against it. Of the five cities in which
over 10,000 votes were cast, Boston,
Lowell, Lynn and Worcester decided
for license and only Cambridge -said
no, but Cambridge has always ' said
no and ' the others have always said
-'yes, except Lowell which said no in
1902 but every other time has said
yes. Of the ten cities casting less than
3,000 votes, six said yes and four no.
- Of the twelve cities, casting oetween
3,000 and 8,000 votes, nine said yes and
three said no.r 13d It is hard to draw a
line and say that sisse determines save
that the large cities generally vote for
license and in the smaller ones, local
. conditions and local influence deter-
mines the result. -In
these thirty-three cities 143,045
votes were cast for and 107,801 votes
were cast against license or roughly
BJefve Fa
GO ner cent and 40 Der cent In 1903,
135,C91 were cast for and' 114,202 were
cast against eo that the license vote
hag increased a little. The total vote
cast on the HeenSe question was 25'),
846, while 257,156 were cast for mayors
in these same cities. This shows that
great interest is felt in these license
referendums despite the fact that in
many places, every one knows how It
will be decided. Thus Boston is sure
to vntft for license and Cambridge is
sure "to vote against it.
bridge license vote is
its mayoralty vote.
