VOTE FOR RETURN To
THE LICENSE SYSTEM
Montgomery County, Alabama,
People Repudiate Prohibition
After Thorough Trial.
Special 10 The Tribune.

DPSSidI " ne IlUuNs.
MONTGOMERY. Ala. Aug. 5.-By an
overwhelming majority Montgomery
county has repudiated prohibition after
sided vote establishes clearly that the
huge majority registered in favor OF
license and regulation. as opposed TO no
license and no regulation, was not piled
up by the bad element Of the population,
for that would be impossible, but that 1t
was registered through the help of some
or the best citizens who had witnessed
the collopse OF prohibition in Its trial In
Montgomery.
The vote shows the remainder of Ala
bama the sentiment of Montgomery. The
people have registered their will, and In
SO doing they have recorded their views
OF those who forced prohibition on Mont
gornery when Montgomery did not want
IT. Montgomery. In the overwhelming and
clear that IT resented the enactment of
arbitrary and sumptuary laws In opposl- =
ton to the Will and sentiment OF It's
people.
Montgomery county. In declaring It's
will, does not attempt to force its Views
on the people OF other counties Of the
state. 1t only asks that radical laws af-
fecting the habits and customs of its
people should first be submitted to a
vote OF Its people; it submits that II II
ls wrong. for It's people to compel the
views, It Is wrong for the people of other
counties to force their views on Mont
gomery county.
Montgomery county has not voted for
the return of liquor. for liquor has never
been banished from the county. Mont
gomery county has asked for regulation,
License and restriction in opposition to
the loose and practically unrestricted
liquor traffic which has prevailed during
the past two and a half years
The campaign just ended, while one
OF the most important. was one OF the
quietest and most pleasant that the resi-
dents OF Montgomery county ever wilt
messed.
