Portland, Maine.-From 499 out Of
621 cities, towns and plantations in
Maine. unofficial returns gave ma
Jority of 904 for repeal Of the prohibit
tory constitutional amendment.
The missing twenty-five towns cast
less than 1856 votes at the state cleo
tion three years ago. The total vote
follows: Total for repeal. 60,7S2;
total against repeal, 59,s7S.
One hundred and twenty thousand
voters cast ballots on the question. AS
had been predicted, the cities were the
chief strongholds of the repeal faction
but the majority of twelve thousand IN
the total city vote was barely suffi-
cient. according to the latest available
returns, to offset the vote of the rural
regions.
Although the vote did not equal that
OF q year ago. when the Democrats
swept the state which for years had
been a Republican stronghold, the
election was an interesting contest
There was not home In any part
of the state which was not flooded
with literature by both sides. while the
voters were waited on by personal
workers and harangued at public gath
erings to cast their ballots for or
against repeal.
The result was that hundreds of vot-,
srs who had npEss3faA the polls for
years. with TIM ~ exception Of
last year. were lid.
Little excitement marked the voting
Although the polls in some Of the
cities were crowded during much OF
the time. 1t was an orderly crowd and
gave the officials little or no trouble.
Since 1857 Maine has had statute
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and since 1884 prohibition has
been part OF the constitution.
In 1884 the question of placing pro-
hibition in the constitution was put
before the people and prohibition won

the attacks of the anti-prohibitionists

In later years.
i The Democratic party last year
made the question of resubmission Of
the constitutional amendment a plank
In its platform. The Democrats swept
the state In the election and the Leg
islature, aided by some Republicans,
voted to put the question before the
people.
The apparent decision Of the voters,
on the fact of the returns to take
prohibition out Of the constitution,

ly be sold. The Legislature must act
before the present statutory law adopt
ed in 1857 can be repealed and the
question must again go before the
people.
Whether Gov. Plaistead will call q
special session of the Legislature for
the purpose is not definitely Known.
but among prominent Democrats 1t is
reported that the governor will take

Tuberculosis in Horses.

From the thirty-fifth annual report of the Ontario Agriculture college this is taken: An interesting case oi tuberculosis in horses came to oul notice. During September we re ceived a piece of peritoneum which we later learned was from a horse, and stained preparations from which gave the characteristic reaction for the or ganism of tuberculosis. Arrangements were made with the owner to apply the tuberculin test to the remainder of his horses with the result that three out of eight tested gave typical reactions for tuberculosis.
 Two cows in the same stable also reacted to the test at the same time. The particular interest attached to these cases lies in the fact that tuberculosis in horses is considered very rare. So far as we have been able to determine from the literature available less than 50 cases have been reported. In our cases complete isolation of the reacting from the healthy animals, thorough disinfection and a retest in six months were rec. commended.
