of four to one. Three townships are
yet to be heard from but they are
expected to return "wet" MAORI

a light vote being polled. The ow-
men held prayer meeting in the
church and a long column Of chill
dren marched ~Hn Main street this
morning, lining up in front Of the
court house and singing a number of
songs

these all being in the country. The
total majority in this ciunty against
prohibition will not be less than 500
and may be between 600 and 700.

church bells in the city rang every
hour until the time for closing the

prayer, five minutes being given each
hour to prayer for the of pro-
