ALABAMA DEFEATS
PROHI AMENDMENT
Estimated that the Constitutional
Amendment Was Lost by the
Overwhelming Majority of
.,.. $4,000 Votes.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 30-With
offieiaI returns coming in slowly the fig
ures i'm hand indicate that the constitu-
tional amendment for prohibition has
been defeated in Alabama by 1890 major
ity. All of the larger counties in the
state returned big majorities against the
amendment including Jefferson, the
home county of Governor Conner, Judge
Weakley candidate for governor and att
thor of the present prohibition laws In
the state; Brooks Lawrence, who came
to Alabama from Ohio as superintendent
OF the Anti-Saloon league of Alabama,
and Fred NJ. Jackson, state chairman OF
tho amendment forces.
Jefferson went against the amendment
by over 100 majority. The majorities
for the amendment will total about SEQ,
while the majorities against the amend
ment will foot up 22.96O. No reasons are
being assigned for the heavy majority
against the amendment for prohibition
save that a reaction in political 'condi-
tions is on throughout the state and a re-
coVery is on in the moral wave that be-
came drastic two years ago. sixty-one
counties returned majorities against the
amendment and six counties for II.
Gov. b b. Conner. leader in the amend
ment campaign. did not wait for COM
pleted returns on the election. but left
last night for a short hunting trip IN
Mississippi He declined to issue state
ment before he left the city.
Today the Temperance people them
selves are rscefving the blame for the
defeat of the amendment. Counties which
have had prohibition for % years, voted
against the aiiisndment, while in other
sections. IL is declared, the temperance
workers. feeling secure of victory, failed
to do the proper work at the polls.
The defeat Of the amendment is not
considered straightout anti-prohibition
victory and it is not regarded as likely
that the state will again go back to con-
dltions existing before the statewide law
was adopted However, notifications OF
the present laws are expected by the next
