MAINE BEAT
 PROHIBITION
BY SMALL MAJORITY VOTES TO REPEAL LIQUOR SECTION
 OF CONSTITUTION.
There Still Remains an Ancient Stat ute Prohibiting the Sale of Lquor--May Call Spe-
 cial Session.

Portland. Me-, Sept. l1.-Unoffi- icial and only partly revised returns from 499 out of 521 cities and towns in Maine today give a majority Of BOA for repeal of the prohibitory con |stitutional amendment. The missing 22 towns cast less than 3S5 votes at the state election three years ago The total vote was:
 "For repeal 6oFs2; against os,- ls7S.
 Unofficial returns tate tonight in ldicated that prohibition has been vot- ed out of the constitution of the state of Maine by a majority of about l, 400 votes.
 About 25 small towns had not been reported and the vote of these togeth ton of tetnrns by telephone, still left the exact result in some doubt.
 One hundred and twenty thousand voters cast ballots. With the 25 CT with errors incident to the colec- towns missing, line vote was e0,s5o for repeal and 59,563 against a change in the constitution.
 As had been predicted, the cities were the chief strongholds of the repeal faction, but the majority of 12;oO0 in De total city vote was barely sufficient. according 10 the
 latest available retudns, to offset the votes of the rural communities.
 The election was without question one of the most interesting comes, the state has ever known There was not a home in any section of the state which had not been flooded with literature sent out by both sides while the voters were waited upon by personal workers and harrangued at public gatherings to cast their ballots for or against repeal. The result was that hundreds of voters, who had not visited the polls for years with the possible exception oi last year, were there today. Little excitement marked the yot- ing.
 Since 1857 Maine has had statute prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors and since 1884 prohibition nas been a part of the constitution In that year (1sS4) the question of plac- ing prohibition in the constitution was put before the people and pro hibition won by majority of 45,9SS, carrying every county in the state Following this attack of anti-prchibi- tionists ceased for time only to be renewed in later years.
 The democratic party last year made the question of sumbission of the constitutional amendment to the people a plank of it's platform The democrats swept the state in the
 election and the legislature aided lby some republican votes voted to Iput the matter before the people.
 The apparent decision of the yot- lers on Hhe face of the returns to- might to take prohibition out of the Iconstitution. does not mean liquor can IlawfuNly be sold. The legislature must act before the present statu- ltory law, adopted in 1857 can be re. Ipealed and the question must again lgo before the people.
 Whether Gov. Frederick w. Plai- lsted will call special session of the legislature for that purpose is not definitely known, but among prom Iinent democrats it is said he wirL.
