Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 30--Returnn
in the Alabama amendment election
indicate the proposed amendment to
put prohibition II the constitution has
been defeated by a decisive vote. From
the country precincts the reports in
dicate the farmers vote was largely
against it. The majority in Montgom-
cry county against the amendment
may go to 800
The indications are that the amend
ment lost in majority Of the court
ties. Most of the large counties went
heavily against the measure. While
women and children were at the polls
in many places, their presence did not
effect the vote to any extent.
Oscar Hall, tax commissioner Of
Baldwin county, fell dead at his home
a few minutes after voting for the
amendment. Physicians said death
was due to heart failure induced by
excitement.
Birmingham, Ala, Nov 30.-A fact
Of special interest in yesterdays elec-
ton on a constitutional amendment
making prohibition effective through
out Alabama was that it was the first
time in the history Of the state that an
expression Of the whole electorate had
been secured on a prohibition ques-
tion.
The statewide prohibition bill was
passed by a legislature which had been
elected on local option platform and
while several counties had declared for
prohibition under the local option act,
the voters of the entire state had never
before been called upon to pass on
the question direct
The polling places in the country
precincts closed at o'clock and in the
cities at o'clock and the court was
rapid because there was but one prop
osition submitted
In Birmingham the election was the
most exciting ever witnessed. Hun
dreds Of people crowded around each
polling place, women and children
we're singing, and brass bands station
