AMERICAN FALLS VOTES OUT
SALOONS.

American Falls Press: The cleo
ton Tuesday resulted in a pro-
nounced victory for prohibition by a
vote of 10S to "a. Three votes were
thrown out on account of defective
marking, two of which were evident
ly intended to be cast for prohibition
and one against. The registration
was 219, but four of this number
were not qualified electors, one not
being naturalized and three not be-
ing residents. OF the remaining 20,
ten had removed since registration
began or were out of town on cleo
ton day and ten could not be pre-
vailed upon to vote. The check list
of the prohibitionists show major
ity of those who did not vote to have
been in favor of prohibition.
Nine voters were challenged dur
ing the day, seven by the prohibit
tionists and two by the ants. The
"drys" challenged Geo. J. Wheeler,
Frank Elliott King Wheeler, Thos.
Bolton, p T. Routh, Jack Burke and
Maurice Burke. The "wets' chal-
lenged Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride. All
the challenges were based on non
residence and all challenged swore
their votes in.
The only unpleasantness of the
day was at the opening of the polls
in the morning. The election make
it the duty of the village clerk to
provide all election supplies, includ-
ing the ballots, and such were print
ed by his order in the following
form
Shall the village trustees pass an
ordinance prohibiting the sale of liq-
our in American Falls and close the
saloons at the expiration of the viii
lage license?'
Chairman Clifford brought to the
polls ballot simply stating For
Prohibition" and Against Prohibit
ton, leaving the time at the discre-
ton of the trustees. The prohibition
workers, headed by MILFORD Bennion,
Charles Johnson and M. E. Coen, and
later by others, objected to this bal
lot, insisting that the time of closing
was the essence of the election. And
that If 1t was left out the election
might as well be postponed until the
regular election in April, as the trus-
tees had signified their intention of
closing the saloons, If at all, at no
earlier date.
Before the prohibitionists rallied
to the defense of the regular ballot
all the words in blackface had been
marked out on about $50 ballots.
Then the "wets" united their efforts
to have the word village" stricken
out before the word license" and
about thirty ballots were SO marked.
This would have misrepresented SEN
timent and defeated the purpose of |
the election, as the county licenses do |
not expire until April LIST next. These
licenses. however. were taken out
and the prohibition fight was begun.
1t was about $40 when Village
Clerk T. e. st. John swore in the
election officers and ended the dis
pute and the regular ballots were
Used, and the result is an instruc-
ion to the trustees to close the sa-
oons in October.
Both the clerks appointed by the
chairman of the trustees refused to

light. the case of Mrs! Atwood, who
