MAINE GOING WET,
| IS THE PREDICTION
Of EARLY VOTERS
Prohibitionists Admit the
Silent Ballot Has Not
Materialized.

PORTLAND. Me-, Sept. 11.-Maine.
which for more than half a century
has been the rock ribbed stronghold
OF prohibition. is today voting to decide
whether its constitutional edict made
In 1884. prohibiting the manufacture and
sale Of Intoxicating liquors within the
borders of the Pine Tree State, shall
be repealed.
the State today came returns on early
voting indicating that the anti-pro-
hibttionists tonight will be counted vic
torious after one of the bitterest politi-
cal fights in Names history-a fight
more strenuous even than one recently
when the sturdy ''way-down Easters''
turned Democratic.
From the early vote ana from virtual
admissions by even prohibitionist lead
ers and papers, the results before noon
presaged the repeal of the prohibitory
amendment by counties as follows:
scoggin, sagadhoc. Knox, York, Cum
berland, Franklin, and Hancock In
the early hours the much mooted "si-
lent" vote failed to materialize.
Leaders OF both sides said they looked
for It this afternoon, and much de-
pended on this silent vote.
By the same Indications the Pro-
hibitionists expected to carry the fol-
lowing counties: Washington, Aristook,
Piscataquis, Somerset, and Oxford.
The other questions pending are
whether the constitution shall be
amended as proposed by resolution of
the Legislature providing that Angus
ia is hereby declared the seat of gov
ernment of this State" the establish
ment OF direct primaries and a local
question as to whether towns of 10000
or over may be permitted to increase
their Indebtedness.
The Augusta proposal Is designed to
prevent the removal OF the capital
from that city.
