ISSUE IS NOT SETTLED
SAYS CHAIRMAN BALL
Statewide Leader Declares Fate Of
Amendment Will Rest with Courts
or Be Again Referred to People.

Col. Thomas HI Ball, chairman of
the Statewide Prohibition Association,
in signed statement issued at IL
o'clock Monday morning, said:
The complete returns will likely
show an anti majority of less than
5000 votes. The law passed by the last
legislature provides for contest OF
the election by either side II dissatis-
fed with the result on account oil
fraud or illegal voting or irregularities
that would affect the result. or course,
am not in position to say whether
or not the pros will contest. That can
only be determined by conference
with friends of the cause. ] am sure
however that the question will be
taken either into the courts or BACK
to the people as soon as 1t can be re-
submitted, which can be done at any
regular session of the legislature. II
appears from the reports received that
large numbers of negroes and Mexi
cans and large element who do not
usually pay their poll taxes have used
poll tax receipts paid by themselves
or paid for them, and that the cleo
ton result has thereby been deter
mined adverse to statewide prohibi
ton. The local prohibitionists have
voted larger majorities for statewide
than for local prohibition, just as We
claimed advise deliberation and
calm judgment and action, and thai
prohibitionists consider and proceed t
solve the great question of how consti
tuions should be made, with patriotic
and thoughtful purpose"

The Horseshoe Legend.

Here is an explanation of the old
horseshoe superstition: st Dunstan
was skilled farrier One day while
at work in his forge the devil entered
in disguise and requested Dunstan to
shoe his single hoof." The saint, al
though he recognized his malign Gus
toner. acceded, but caused him SO
much pain during the operation that
Satan begged him to desist. This st
Dunstan did, but only after he had
made the evil one promise that neither
he nor any of the lesser evil spirits
his servants, would ever modest the
inmates of house where the horse
shoe was displayed.

Barrett, president of the National Farmers union.
