The article presents information on U.S. politics in the 1920s. Standing above the mass of local issues which largely determined elections that took place in the U.S. recently were two questions of national significance: prohibition and the Ku Klux Klan. Both these questions promise to increase rather than diminish in importance in the near future; they will not improbably be the most vital issues of the campaign of 1924. In the voting of November 6 prohibition played a part in many individual contests and was of State-wide consequence at least in New Jersey and Maryland, with victory going apparently to the drys in the first instance and to the wets in the second.
