his reported ability to name a successor
to the goVernorship in Judge S. N
Kley, author of the prohibition bills
have figured prominently in the result
Significant Feature
"A significant feature of the result is
the fact that sentiment against the
amendment is so widespread. Rural
precincts, small towns and cities, for
the most part returned substantial vic
tories on the winning side.
A fact of especial interest in today's
election is that it was the first time
in the history of the state that an
expression of the whole electorate had
been obtained on prohibition.
The statewide prohibition bill was
passed by the legislature on a local
option platform. In Birmingham the
election was the most exciting wit
messed here. Hundreds of people
worked around each polling place,
women and children sang, and brass
bands stationed by the anti-amend-
ment forces played patriotic airs.
Each polling place was enlivened by
fist fights, there being so many that
it was impossible to keep track of
them. Feeling was so high that a few
words were sufficient to bring on a
blow. Practical yevery other voter
was challenged and required to make
an affidavit that he was qualified
elector. This delayed the casting of
ballots, but the total vote was heavy.
AS an instance of the deep feeling
displayed, prominent minister went
to the polls and a young woman at
tempted to pin a white ribbon on him.
The minister declined, telling her that
he considered it improper for young
ladies to speak to men on the streets
whom they did not know.
The woman began crying and the
minister apologized for hurting her
feelings. but he said he considered
the polling places improper places for
the young women to be. The affair
was discussed all over the city.
Oscar Hall, tax commissioner of
Baldwin county, fell dead at his home
few minutes after voting for the
amendment.
Physicians said death was due to
heart failure induced by excitement.

Nine Speed Violators Arragned
AS the result of the activity of Mo-
torcycle Patrolmen Coe and Gardner
Sunday nine autoists were arraigned
in police court yesterday morning to
answer to charges of violating the
speed ordinance. Six pleaded guilty
and paid fines OF $25 each; two asked
for time to plead, and one, who is
juvenile, win be tried in juvenile court.
Those who paid fines are George w.
Kitchen Il. J. Randall, Fred Pardee,
William Bargman, F. c. White and b.
Livas. When Henry Ulrich, who is ac-
cused of riding his motorcycle faster
than the limit provided by law, was
found to be under age, his case was
transferred to the juvenile court.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 29.-All
indications point to a majority of be-
tween 10000 and 10000 in Alabama,
against the prohibition constitutional
amendment today -
Chairman J. Lee Long, who has been
in charge of the fight against the
amendment, claims that the majority
against the amendment will be tully
10000.
A band of music was placed around
each of the four voting places In BIZ
mingham early today to drown out the
prayers and singing and pleadings OF
the women and children who gathered
early in the morning in an effort to
influence voters eor the constitutional
amendment.
Deputy sheriffs and extra policemen
were on duty around the polls and the
excitement was intense.
All business in birmingham was
practically suspended.
Early returns indicated a landslide
against the amendment and succeed
ing bulletins fully bore out the early
indications.
Jefferson county, in which is Bir-
mingham, the largest city in the state
in spite of the fact that the fight has
been concentrated here, gave a major
ity OF more than 1000 against the
amendment. Mobile. Montgomery and
Cullman counties show large majorities
on the victorious side, and apparently
the amendment carried in only three
counties--Talladella, Macon and Sum-
ter-with Lee in doubt.
Today's election cannot be regarded
as a straight prohibition victory
because of personal politics injected
into the issue. Its association with the
administration of Governor Conner and
