New Castle, Ind. April 1.-The un-
official but complete vote in the
Henry county local option election
SSesterday shows Henry county "dry''
by majority Of 1855.
These figures are compiled from re-
turns received by the Local Option
league and are considered reliable. OF
the forty-two precincts in the county
only one gave a wet majority, that
one being the Fifth, which went wet
seventeen votes. Factory men live in
this precinct, largely. New Castle
gave dry" majority of 326.
The temperance forces are highly
elated. The result is a big surprise
as none had predicted over $500 ma
jority.
Election Was Quiet.
The election was so quiet as to
cause comment. There were no den-
onstrations at all and no attempt at
illegal voting, officers having been
placed at the voting places to arrest
any attempting it. Committees for
the "drys" worked all day hauling
voters to the polls in automobiles. but
the "wets" did nothing. having no or
ganization. Officers of the Local Op-
tion league were in close touch with
all parts of the county all day.
During the morning voting was so
slow as to cause apprehension of a
reduced majority for the "drys," but
during the afternoon became more
regular and by evening the poll was
entirely satisfactory.
At Mooreland and Spiceland the
women served meals to election Off

were served with meals by church
