statutory prohibition 81, These counties will
cast 495 votes in the convention, out of

with those vet TO be chosen it is probable the
total prohibition strength win reach upwards
of-G5O votes Six counties, with sixty-one
votes, are divided, and five counties, with
fifty-three votes, are lnstructed against pro

The convention promises to be largely at

its action, for the, reason that there does
not seem to- be Sufficient z ti-prohi-

Where can they, look foG the remainder
