STATE RETURNS
SHOW PRO DEFEAT

The Dallas News this morning
prints practically complete returns
from the election held last Saturday
upon the proposition to adopt an
amendment to the Texas constitution
prohibiting the sale or manufacture
OF liquor within the state.
These returns give a majority of
6307 against the amendment, the The
News believes that the final returns
will not show a material difference
from these figures mass of reports
is still coming in, but most of these
are duplicates Of former reports, and
many others make only slight changes
from the figures already reforted. The
News. therefore, regarding it certain
that the amendment has been defeat
ed upon the face Of the returns by
about 5000 majority will suspend
complication of the returns until the
official figures are available from prac-
tically all of the counties. Only a
few official reports have thus far been
received.
The returns received by The News
show these totals:
For prohibition, 23O,631.
Against prohibition, 236,6GS.
The only counties from which re-
ports have not been received are Up
ton and Winkler, the combined vot-
ing strength of which is 2O2. The
News has complete reports from 236
counties and very nearly complete re-
ports from the ten remaining Coun-
ties, in which, as a rule, the vote OF
all but one or two small boxes
has been reported.
The nine counties from which these
p artial but nearly complete reports
have been received are Armstrong,
Donley. Moore, Pecos, Preside, Red
River, Dickens, Tarrant and Bailey
The additional reports from these
counties can hardly prove an import
ant factor in the result
