VETS LEAD WITH 900 VOTES.
Close Fight Over Prohibition In
Maine

Portland, Me.-Unofficial and only
partly revised returns from 499 out of
521 cities, towns and plantations in
Maine give majority of 904 for re-
peal OF the prohibitory constitutional
amendment. The missing % towns
cast less than 4S5 votes at the state
election three years ago.
Returns indicate that prohibition
was voted out of the constitution of
Maine by a majority of about 1,4o0
votes. About 25 small towns had not
been reported and the vote of these,
together with errors incident to the
collection OF returns by telephone. still
left the exact result in some doubt.
One hundred and twenty thousand
voters cast ballots on the question
With the 25 towns missing the vote
was 60,S7S for repeal and 59563
against a change in the constitution.
AS had been predicted. the cities
were the chief strongholds for the re-
peal faction, but the majority of 12,-
900 in the total city vote was barely
sufficient, according to the latest
available returns, to Offset the vote of
the rural regions
