The question that has been foremost
In the minds OF the people OF Polk
county for several months has at last
been decided, and the county has been
voted dry" for the first time In It's
history, by large majority.
All day today men have gathered In
groups on streets and In stores, talk
ing and discussing the various phases
OF yesterdays election, eager throngs
have greeted the arrival Of the official
returns from each precinct, and the
whole town has throbbed with the
interest Of hard and close contest in
the vote for both county and state.
Every precinct In Polk county
reports an exceptionally heavy vote,
the two absorbing Issues OF the contest
being the senatorial race and the con-
test between the factions for and
against prohibition. Those interested
in the outcome OF the struggle left no
stone unturned to bring out the voters,
and scores OF men In Polk county who
had failed for some reason to register
were hunted out, led to the polling
places and sworn In, so that they
might add the weight oftheir ballot to
the uncertain contest lt Is believed
that larger percentage OF the voting
force OF Polk county was represented
at the polls yesterday than at any OF
the elections for years.
During the entire day the streets Of
Dallas were alive with people, and as
the day progressed the interest grew
steadily more intense. Gradually the |
public interest seemed TO be with
drawn from the minor issues, and 20
concentrate about the two central
points, the United States senatorship
and the prohibition question, aud |
finally the latter subject seemed 10
usurp the entire field OF interest.
Right TO the last. the two factions
fought the Issue. and when the polls
had closed Il was a matter Of doubt as
10 which held the advantage. Both
manifested the utmost confidence in
the outcome. aud the prevailing words
on the lips Of the men Of both sides,
during the period OF suspense between
the time when the polls closed apS me
hour when the first returns oegan 10
come In. were "walt until the ,ote is
counted; then we'll SEE" Rotwith-
standing the intense interest In
