New Election: 1918 Missouri Referendum General Election Results
   
   

A map for the deadbeats







The strong anti-prohibition vote in the German areas is not surprising. But the anti-prohibition vote in the Ozark counties is surprising.



After this 57/43 thumping of Prohibition, the Missouri Legislature promptly ratified the 18th Amendment in 1919.

The anti-Smith swing does overlap with some of the anti-prohibition areas, which can tell you why they disliked Smith

I thought Smith was anti-prohibition?

Wait, just realized that was probably a typo on your part. Pro-prohibition areas didn't like Smith. Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion.

No.. I meant that anti-prohibition (Wet) areas swung against Smith, who was anti-prohibition, showing that they probably swung for reasons that involved religion and not prohibition
