600 votes, out Of probably 100000 cast,
had been definitely accounted for.
These give majority of over 4,OO1
against statewide, and incomplete re-
turns from every part Of the state
indicate the defeat of the measure by
safe majority,
While the count progresses the
ljouor interests are claiming victory
by from 10000 to 10000 and Rev
Frank Barrett, head of the Anti

his calculations are based.
