Birmingham, Ala, October 20. --Jeffer-
son county, after one of the hottest cam
paigns In its history, has gone dry. The
city of Birmingham gave a majority of
32o against prohibition. The feature of
the election was the presence of ,hous-
ands of women at the polls. They parad.
ed the streets with banners, sang hyms
and pleaded with voters and 1t is believ-
ed that they played an important part in
carrying the county for prohibition. The
day was clear and cold and the vote cast
was the largest ever recorded in the
county.
A thousand cheers for the good women
and children and good old Alaban.
