Wet

Closely following in the footsteps of Manitoba, the Province of Saskatchewan clambered down from the water wagon on which both had clambered so recently as 1920. The majority in favor of the descent was stated to be "overwhelming."

The "dry" provinces are: Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, the latter of which is to wage a furious battle in the Fall to decide the vexing question of prohibition. As almost one-third of the entire population of Canada lives in Ontario, the outcome of the fight is not without moment to wets and drys alike. The Drys were reported to be preparing a desperate defense against the Wets, who were organizing a violent at tack on the Drys.

The wet Provinces: Quebec, Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territories.
