Repea! Defeated.
REVISED RETURNS GIVE SMALL
MAJORITY FOR PROHIBITION.
Peculiar Outcome Of Revising Figures
Turns Tide.

In an election which has proved the
most closely fought and full of con-
slant surprises that has ever been
held in Maine, prohibition finally tri-
umphed by small majority of ap-
proximately 200 votes. The change
from an apparent victory for the re-
peal by 200 votes TO the 200 majority
fcr the mo" faction came as a big
surprise TO both sides. The prohibi-
tionists had already practically con-
ceded defeat and were beginning to
make plans for continuing their
fight when the question OF the repeal
OF the statutory prohibition should
come up in the Legislature. while
representatives OF those who sought
the repeal of the constitutional
amendment had sent out statements
on the strength of what seemed to be
safe majority for them.
Tuesday morning unofficial returns
were giving 700 and more mapority
for repeal but by noon the revised
figures that were continually coming
in had cut this down so that the re-
suit was hanging In the balance. All
the returns showed a continual gain
in the favor of the mo" faction. Early
In the day IL was found that two i'm
portant towns. Sanford and Wells, had
been reversed in the first returns and
this cut down the wet" majority by
nearly 400. The revision OF the vote
from the town of Limestone gave the
prohibitionists gain OF 100 votes

AT nine O'Clock Monday night repeal
had a majority against IL of 465. This
was cut down later by 10, but al
though several towns are to be heard
from, the result seems safe for prohi-
bition.
The bulletins which were issued
during Tuesday announcing the grad
ual change in the way the vote went
aroused great interest through the
city, the prohibitionists watching the
corrected returns with particular at
tcntion. When the figures seemed to
indicate a margin for prohibi-
ton there was great rejoicing by the
no faction. The w. c. T. u. work
ers gathered at the State headauar-
ters in Portland and cheered and
sang. In other parts Of the State SIM
iIar celebrations took place and there
was general rejoicing by the temper
ance workers.
The whole election was a struggle
between the cities and the towns in
which the revised returns from the
rural sections turned the tide in favor
or prohibition. All the cities except
calais gave results favoring repeal
and the total majority from the cities
favoring the yes" movement at r.
4S3. The rural sections. however. all
voted heavily in favor of keeping pro-
hibition in the constitution and the
majority given by them was sufficient
TO gain the victory.
