is no doubt many valuable trinkets
were stolen. There were many per-

Mrs McCullough's death and I be-

MAINE RETURNS
TO WET COLUMN
Voters Defeat Constitution
Prohibition Clause by a
Narrow Margin.
END OF A BITTER FIGHT
Special Session Of Legislature May
Be Called by Governor to Act
Upon the Matter.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 12.-Little
change in the apparent result was
shown today by a revision of the re-
turns of the vote cast at yesterday S
special election on the prohibition
question. The returns up to this time
show a majority of 763 for the repeal
of the prohibitory amendment
Although the vote did not equal that
of a year ago, when the democrats
swept the state, which for years had
been a republican stronghold, the
election was one of the most interest
ing contests the state has ever known.
MAY CALL SPECIAL SESSION.
There is said to be every possibility
that Governor Plaisted may be pre-
vailed upon to call a special session
of the legislature to take action on the
repeal of the statute law, which in eff
feet, is the same as the constitutional
amendment, and the enactment of an
other law for the regulation of the
liquor business. A local option law
such as prevails in Massachusetts Is
what the license advocates seek
In addition to the prohibitory, law
the people are casting their ballots on
three other referendum questions. Two
of them have to do with amending the
constitution, one to make Augusta
forever the capital of the state, and
the other to raise the debt limit of cit
ties of over 10000 people from to 71s
per cent, which affects Portland alone
The third question has to do with
the adoption of a.state wide direct pri-
mary law which was initiated by peti-
ton of $4,000 voters.
HISTORY OF LIQUOR FIGHT.
The liquor question was the first one
on the official ballot in yesterdays
election, and was as follows:
Shall the constitution be amended
SO as to abrogate and annul the TWEEN
ty-siXth amendment adopted on the
eighth day of September in the year of
Our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-four, relating to the manu-
factureg-1zz1h sale of Intoxicating IT,
quors?"
In 1853 the Maine legislature adopt
ed a statute prohibiting the liquor
business, but 1t was repealed after a
brief experience. In 1857 the law was
again placed and has never been re
pealed. In 1884 the question of plac-
ing prohibition in the constitution was
put to the people and prohibition won,
carrying the state by a majority of
1888. The largest majority for plac-
ing the amendment in the constitution
was given in Cumberland county, while
the smallest majority was given In
Sagadahoc county.
