LIQUOR MEN READY TO open

and There Will be Many Wholesale
and Retail blishments-Much
Money Used.
(By Associated Press.)

BRISTOL. VA, July S.-By the mar
row majority of IS out of a total OF
$40 votes polled. the antiprohibition-
lists won the local option election here
today, following one Of the most holly
contested campaigns of its kind known
in the South.
Pandemonium reigns here tonight in
that part of Bristol which lies in Ten
nesee as well as in the city which
has declared for the sale of liquor af-
ter "dryness of two years. Pre-
parations are already being made for
opening up saloons and wholesale
houses for supplying not only the i'm
mediate territory. but that of the doz-
en- nearby states which are in the
prohibitiye column.
The "wets" declare the victory will
have the effect of checking the state
wide prohibition movement in Virginia.
They say too, that the winning of to-
days fight is but the opening of the
greater fight for the reclamation of
lost territory in the South.
Money Spent by Wholesale.
Against the influence of prohibition
lists and their unwavering allies, the
women and children, the leaders of
the opposing forces spent thousands
of dollars. Nearly hundred repre-
sentatives of the saloon, distillery and
brewery interests were here to wit
ness the election and lend what as
sistance they might toward corraling
voters.
Many Of them came here with a
view to starting in business. Hall of
the business buildings in the city had
been Optioned for sale or rent at very
high prices. pending today's result.
The campaign began about month
ago when Judge John w. Price, of
the Corporation Court. ordered the
election On petition of one fourth of
the qualified voters. The temperance
people brought many out of town
speakers here and for two weeks
meetings have been held nightly.
Women Work in Rain.
The women served lunches and hot
coffee today near the polls. and stood
through drenching rains and contin-
ued their work from early this morn
ing till the polls closed
The ntiprohibitionists conducted a
still hunt campaign and worked IN
der cover until within the past week,
when they suddenly burst into print
and flooded the city with literature
opposing prohibition and seeking to
show its ill-effects on Bristol. The
Abingdon dispensary, 13 miles east OF
Bristol. doing an immense business,
largely from local trade, was used as
a chief argument by them.
