Portland. Maine.-From 4s9 out OF
81 cities. towns and plantations in
Maine. unofficial returns gave a ma.
jorIty Of SO4 for repeal OF the prohibi.
tory constitutional amendment
The missing twenty-five towns cast
less than 3s5 votes at the state elec.
ton three years ago. The total vote
follows: Total for repeal. 60.7S2;
total against repeal. 5S.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
hut the majority of twelve thousand in
the total city vote was barely sutfi.
cient, according to the latest available
returns. to offset the vote OF the rural
regions.
Although the vote did not equal that
OF year ago. when the Democrats
swept the state which for years had
been Republican stronghold, the
election was an interesting contest.
There was not a 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
erngs to cast their ballots for or
against repeal.
The result was that hundreds of yot.
ers who had not visited the polls for
years. with the possible exception OF
last year. were recorded.
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 a statute
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and since 1884 prohibition has
been part of the constitution.
In 1884 the question of placing pro.
hibltion in the constitution was put
before the people and prohibition won
by majority of 45,9SS, carrying ev-
cry county in the state. Following this
the attacks of the anti-prohibitionists
ceased for time, only to be renewed
In later years.
The Democratic party last year
made the question of resubmission OF
the constitutional amendment plank
IN its platform. The Democrats swept
the state in the election and the Leg
islature, aided by some RepuL leans,
voted 70 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,
does not mean that liquor can lawful.
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ed in 1857 can be repealed and the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
special session Of the Legislature for
the purpose is not definitely Known,
but among prominent Democrats it is
reported that the governor will take
such step.

RECIPROCITY THE CENTER
Furnishes Chief Topic of Public In
terest at Washington.

Washington, April 14.-Canadian
reciprocity for the second time within
a few months has become the subject
of legislative consideration in the con-
gress of the United States.
When the house of representatives
met today it was to have placed be-
fore it the Canadian agreement as re-
ported yesterday from the ways and
means committee by Chairman Under
wood. With the bill taken up the
question of length of debate was to be
determined.
Though there is opposition to the
measure in the house it has been the
prevailing opinion that discussion
could be disposed of within two days,
today and tomorrow. but the Demo
cratic leaders have not been inclined
to limit debate unreasonably if longer
time should be desired and they set
four days as the maximum limit That
would prolong the debate into next
week with vote on the bill Tuesday
night or Wednesday. Representative
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, who opposed
the Mccall bill in the past congress
and who yesterday served notice that
he would make a minority report from
the ways and means committee on the
Underwood bill, was not expected to
present his report today but at some
time during the debate. The senate
adjourned yesterday until Monday.

Washington Expects Peace.
Washington. April 14.-With the ap-
pearance here of an informal peace

graphic communication between DR..
Vasquez Gomez, head of the revolu-
ZIONIST agency here and Francisco L
Madero, the rebel leader in Chihuahua
news of definite developments toward
peace in Mexico is expected at any
time.
DR.. Gomez was advised today that
his MESA ge to Madero requesting in
structions in the formulation of peace
proposals had reached the rebel leader
and he expected to have a reply some
time today.
Oscar Braniff and EsquivaI Obregon

ton he receives from his chief. he is
however unable to treat with them
unless they be named official represen-
tatives of the Mexican government.
Oscar Braniff and O'Bregon decided
last week to devote themselves to the
cause of peace. 1t is said they con-
ferred with government officials in
Mexico City and while the Mexican
government was willing that they
might acknowledge having had such
an interview, it was pointed out that
the ENJOYS went privately and unoffi-
cially.

ticent concerning his mission when seen

days" he said.

no physical valuation of all the public

Interest in Trail Cutoff Growing.

President Biddison, of our Com
mercial Club informs us us that in
terest in the location of an Inter-
state Trail from Leon south via
GAINESVILLE is growing among the
farmers living along the proposed
line and the cutoff is practically as
sured.
Within the past ten days he has
talked with land owners on the road
between here and Pleasanton and
says that the greatest enthusiasm
prevails, one man going so far as to
agree to give land so that the road
going by his place can be stralghten-
ed and a bad hill avoided.
The road from Pleasanton to Gains
Vile is principally on a high ridge
and from here to Trenton via Mt.
Moriah would be down the Grand
River valley which route would be
ideal. Or from here the road could
go down through Goshen and Modena
to Trenton which would be another
ideal route.
Papers for the regular organiza-
ton have been sent for and on their
arrival an organization will be made
and officers elected.-Cainsville News.
