Upper Marlboro, May I-Should the
weather tomorrow be favorable there will
be large vote cast at the special cleo
ton 10 decide the question as TO whether
or not intoxicating liquors shall be sold
in certain sections OF Prince George
County after September l. 1903.
The local option people are relying for
their big vote upon Hyattsvine Chillum.
Bladensburg and oxon Hill districts,
while the saloon people claim that they
viii receive at least 200 majority in
Queen Anne and Spaulding districts In
Bowie district, where there is a large
coloTed vote, the vets" claim a small
majority. and in tails district 1t all de-
pends upon the negro vote II this latter
vote is split the local option people VIII
probably carry the district. There is q
total Of about 700 voters IN Prince
George County and il is figured that
about 200 OF these viii be unable 10
vote tomorrow, being residents Of sec
tions where prohibition laws now prevail.
The local option people claim the victory
upon the assumption that they will Sc
cure three-fifths OF the white vote, and
will probably split nearly even on the
colored vote. Should they do this and
1900 voters go TO the polls, they can
count on at least 200 majority In the
county. In other words. they viii get
1.500 votes out Of the $500 white voters
and 80 Of the 800 COlOTed voters. or d
total Of 2250 out OF the 1000. This esti-
mate is believed TO be conservative. and,
II anything, the white vote for local op-
ton is rather modest. while the colOred
vote for liquor may be slightly more than
One-haf
Both parties are preparing 10 bring out
their voters, and II is expected that few
teams will be unemployed. The anti-sa-
loon people in Bladensburg. Hyattsvilie.
and Chillum districts have engaged a
brass band, and shortly after the polls
open tomorrow morning the Sunday
school children from these sections Will
form a parade around the polls during
the day The law prohibits the opening
Of saloons in the county tomorrow but
the ladies OF the various committees Will
serve refreshments in the shape OF cof-
fee and sandwiches. The polls open at 5
o'clock a. m. and close at o'clock p.
m. The result should be known not later
than 10 o'clock tomorrow evening, al
though the inaccessibiIity OF some of the
polling places in the southern end of the
county may delay reports
