ONLY THREE COUNTIES
CARRIED BY THE "DRYS"
Result Regarded as Significant Be-
cause This is the First Time Liquor
Question Has Been Submitted 70
People of State-Repudiation Of Co
mer's Administration.
tBy Associated Press-)

BIRMINGHAM. ALA, Nov. 20
All indications point a majority of be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 in Alabama
against the prohibition constitutional
amendment today.
Chairman ]. Lee Long, who has
been in charge of the fight against
the amendment, claims that the ma
jority will be fully 10000.
Jefferson county, in which county is
Birmingham. the largest city in the
state. in spite of the fact that the
fight has been concentrated here,
gave a majority of over 1905 against
the amendment.
Mobile. Montgomery and Cullman
counties show the largest majorities
on the victorious side and it appears
the amendment has carried in but
three counties, Tal!adega. Macon and
Sumter, with Lee In doubt.
Regarded as Significant.
This being the first time the state
has erer had an pnpcrt,pty to pass
upon the prohibition question is re-
garded as especially significant. Still
1t cannot be regarded as straight
ati-prohibition victory because OF the
personal politics injected into the is
sue.
Its association with the administra-
ton OF GoyernorsR. b. Conner and his
reputed ability to name a successor to
the governorship to Judge S. d. Weak
ley, author of the prohibition bills.
have figured prominently in the
suit.
Sentiment is Widespread.
A significant feature of the result
is the fact that sentiment against the
amendment is SO widespread. Rural
precincts, small towns and cities,
alike, are for the most part, return
ing substantial majorities on the win
ing side.
There has never been seen here
anything like the enthusiasm shown IN
Birmingham over the result.
The result is regarded as distinct
reputation OF the present State ad-
ministration, which has been particu
larry radical in its so-calIed reform
program.
Women Sing; Bands Play.
In this city the election was the
most exciting ever Witnessed Humid
reds OF people crowded each polling
place, women and children were sing
ing and brass bands stationed by the
anti amendment forces. were playing
patriotic airs.

SPECIAL ELECTION COST
Refutation of Report Which
Is Now Being Circulated
Cost VIII Not Exceed 500.

The report has been freely cir
cnlated the past few DAYS that
the cost of the special election,
which will be held for the pur-
pose of either granting or turning
down the proposition of Klein &
Van Nostrand for power, will
cost the town the sum of $500.
This is indeed extremely enron
eous, and where. the party or
parties secured their basis, is vet
to be learned. as no one who
can handle pencil has been able
to figure fast enough to reach
any such an amount or in fact
anywhere near it.
Twenty dollars will be ade-
quate to cover the entire cost of
the special election, and it is
easy to prove it:
The main expense will be the
advertising of the proposition
and notice of election and print
ing of the ballots. To this both
the Villas County News and the
Eagle River Review will guaran-
tee to do all advertising and
printing free of charge.
The meeting of the three mem
hers of the town board to ratifv
the proposition and order the
election will be gratis, while
$12 will cover the expenses of
the election board on the day of
election. The drawing up Of
the proposition and notice of
election will take but minimum
length of time and the charges
will be in accordance.
Authority. therefore, is given
us to truthfully state to the
voters of the town that the cost
will not exceed $20-if~it costs
even that much.

JANUARY THAW HITS US

Those of the weather prophets
who predicted a January thaw
are ext emely happy, and the 81
told you SO" expression on their
usually placid countenance is
rated by Bragstreet as sound.
The soft snap got busy last
Thursday, and by Sunday night,
aided by a misty rain and fog
put the hountiful crop of "beau-
riful' which King Winter had
given us earlier in the season,
clean out of the race. It was a
Knockout and no mistake. Sun

It's genuine spring weather
and according to curbstone pre-
dictions shirt sleeve weather will

weather for the coming three
weeks.
In the meantime, notwith-
standing all the promises given
as to sunshine and flowers, just
keep your eye on the woodpile
and fatten it up for what will
undoubtedly catch the unprepar
