STATE OF MAINE
MOBILES BADLY
Pendulum OF Prohibition Swings First
to One Side and Then to the Other.

PORTLAND. Sept. 1870 close is
the vote on Mondays prohibition eIec-
ton. that even tonight, when most of
the returns have been revised, the re-
suit is still in doubt. The secretary of
states report late tonight shows an ap-
parent majority Of 155 for the repeal.
An error which was discovered in the
returns from the town of Limestone
contributed largely to the uncertainty of
the outcome. In the earlier returns
sent to the Associated Press it read:
For repeal u; against 175." In re-
turns to the secretary of state, the
clerk sent, For repeal 175; against12. "
The figures furnished the secretary of
state tonight show for repeal, 60,525;
against 6O,37O In view of the close
ness of the vote, it is believed tonight
only the official canvass by the COVER
nor and board of canvassers will def
initely determine the vote.

Godspeed from New England ringing

temporarily misled, in the end they

"We watched your course in the
White House. and are satisfied if YOU
made mistakes. they were the mistakes
of an honest man, who would rather
do something and be wrong than do
nothing and be right. The welfare Of
the great working classes, as well as

tending materially to alter the basis
upon which prosperity stands. l be-
lieve the American people were never
