"Wets" Sweep Ny

In Christian, Davies and McCracken
Counties Voters Decide in Favor
Of Licensed Saloons.
"pRoHr' FORCES GREATY SURPRISED

In three Kentucky countiesz-
Christian, Davies and Me- Crack
en--where option elections were
held yesterday the "wets'' scored
In every instance over the 'drys'
by majorities ranging from GOO
to 700 votes.
In Daviess the county outside
the city of Greensboro went dry
by 800 votes while in the city
the "wets" had a majority Of
952.
McCracken county, outside of
the city, gave the "drys" ma
jority of 597 while the city of
Paducah gave the ''wets" ma
jority of 1891.
10 Christian county the "wets''
majority was 585. The result
was a surprise to the anti-saloon
men who believe they would be
able to cut down the vote of the
liquor forces in the cities of Hop
kinsville and Pembroke, Both
of these cities went .wet," the
latter by close margin,
In Daviess county where VIC
tory had been expected by the
"wets" the advocates of licensed
saloons, following announcement
of the vote, paraded the street
headed by the Third Regiment
Band. Cheering crowds greeted
the marchers in the business dis
trlct where the saloons are To-
Gated but when the paraders
traversed the residential thoro-
fares they were Kissed and jeer-
ed.
The "drys" in McCracken
county announced as soon as the
result was known that they
would be ready three years hence
to dispute the right of licensed
saloons to do business in the
county or the city of Paducah.
