Throughout the State, there was deep
interest manifested in the measure, the
provisions Of which have been widely
discussed. Naturally, there was consid-
erable anxiety, especially on the part OF
liquor men to learn the result.
The provisions of the local option bill

but in substance it provides that voters OF
the state shall vote at special election,
by districts, on the question OF whether
that particular district shall 60 "dry."
Governor Lea also signed another i'm
