History

It was difficult to draw the line between papers that advocated prohibition in a nonpartisan way, and those that advocated the Prohibition Party method. The former would include nearly all the religions papers, and many Republican and Democratic papers. This list draws the line distinctly on the support of the Prohibition Party. A few of the papers were merely local newspapers that did not devote much space to political discussion or news, but did favor the Prohibition Party when they did speak. [2] [lower-alpha 1]

List of newspapers

The list, substantially, was published in the Voice of June 30, 1892, with the request that any person noticing any errors or omissions communicate with the author. Several corrections and additions were received, and the information added. In three or four cases, papers were referred to as omitted, without any information as to price, circulation, etc. in such cases, if the paper was not in any of the newspaper annuals, it was omitted, there not being time for correspondence. No Prohibition Party paper of any considerable prominence was omitted from the list.— [2] [lower-alpha 2]

Notes

  1. ↑ According to Copleland (1892), in each case, the publisher of the paper was written to and asked to give the information desired. In most cases the publisher replied, and his statement was used. In cases where the publisher failed to reply, reference was made to N. W. Ayer's Newspaper Annual for 1891, and the statistics taken from that source. [2]
  2. ↑ m. Monthly, d. Daily, f. Fortnightly. Where no letter is used it will be understood that the paper is weekly. [2]
