ofieial returns from the recent piebiseite in
Nova Scotia upon prohibition show that the
majority In favor Of Il was nearly $4,000 in q
vote Of almost 89.500. The total number OF
persons entitled to vote was about 95. 900 and
more than 10.O00 persons who voted at the

to vote upon prohibition. There was thus
majority OF oil the votes east at the election
favorable to prohibition but not majority OF
all persons entitled 10 vote.
The vote was nothing more than q declara-
tion In favor NJ q prohbltory act for the
whole Dominion by the Dominion Parliam ant.
The Liberal party Of the Dominion declared in
convention at Ottawa In Juno Of last year in
favor Of taking a plebiscite OF the whole Do-
minlon upon the abstract question. but the
Liberal party Is not In power and cannot sub
init such . plebiscite. In these circum stances
the Prohibltlonlsts have undertaken the pleb-
iscite In the several provinces. Votes have
been taken In Ontario. Nova Scotia, Manitoba,
and Prince Edwards Island. The Provincial
