•
At the close of a strennons campaign voters in the State decided yesterday by a majority which is approximately estimated at 600 that the Constitution, in so far as it prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors, shall be amended. The result was undoubtedly due in a large mes sure to the scientifla campaigning by the liquor interests, who while the most eloquent fem- perance orators were exhorting the electors to uphold prohibition flooded the country with pamphlets and made a thorough house to house
anvass in
every city, town, and hamlet in the error, Stato.
The contrast between the methods of th two parties was strikingly apparent yesterday, for while the sati-prohibitionists brought votors to the polls by the aid of thousands of motor ears, the other side contented themselves with Prayer meetings and the tolling of church bells. A apsatsenlar feature of the section was the activity of women, who entrounded the booths entresting met for the sake of the wives and obikiren" to say no to the proposal for an amendment of the Constitution, Every hour the churches rang a solemn tell of bells, while the streets were crowded with women and children carrying prohibition banners.
The verdict showed that the towns were over. whelmingly in favour of abolishing prohibition, while the raraf districts advocated its retention. In one small town a solitary citizen was the saly one who voted as a prohibitionist, all the rest being for reform. Altogether some-130,000 persons recorded a vote on tha
speciflo
question of prohibition or no prohibtiion."
It is expected that the Governor will imme alately ammon a special session of the Legisla ture to amend the Constitution of that Legisla ture and substitute for prohibition the principle of local option."
