Official Vote of the State

The returns of the recent election have all been received by Secretary Osborn and the canvass of the vote is now under way. The following is the vote on each candidate and the amend ments to the constitution, referred and initiated measures. The one measure receiving the highest vote is the mis- called "Mothers Pension Act" This measure, on account of the misleading wording on the ballot was innocently voted for by thousands of people who thought they were providing a pension for the old and infirm and the poor mothers of the state, instead of which they were voting to deprive the poor fellows in the aims houses and county farms of the comforts and care of home. The following is the vote in full:

DRY NAVY
is ORDERED
No Intoxicating Liquors Al
lowed on Ships or in Navy
Yards After First
of July.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, April 6.-Oficers
of the navy wondered today whether
the service will really go dry after
July l. That is the date fixed by Sec
retary of Navy Daniels when the
wine mess on all war ships must be
abolished.
A liberal construction of the Dan
iels order, means that not alone Is
the mess abolished, but that any Of
f1cer, out:lde of the surgeon and his
assistant who introduces, even for
medicinal purposes a bottle of any
inloxicant aboard a warship, faces
court martial and dismissal from the
service. And If that Is the construc-
ton Secretary Daniels places on his
order, and 1t is supposed so to be,
court martials likely will be frequent.
The order is admittedly unpopular.
Officers assert that 1t was issued un-
der a misrepresentation. They point
out that no distilled spirits have ever
been sold in the mess, that only beer
with a minute percentage Of alcohol
and the lightest of wines have been
disposed Of. They place responsibility
for the order on Captain Richmond P.
Hobson, who has recently been de,
manding that the army and navy be
iofficially made dry. 1t was pointed
out here today that the order OF the
secretary of navy is far more string.
ent than that in effect in the army
No secretary Of war has ever order
ed the army officers clubs to refrain
from serving intoxicants. But the
naval order covers even the 1ntroduc
ton OF intoxicants into any navy
yard or ship. It Is accepted that the
order will stand for all time. 10 sub
sequent administration, 1t is believ'
| ed, would dare to revoke It in the
face OF certain storm Of protest that
waaald rise frpVs tem1erAneA erEsn
lixations through61t the United State
Because OF the naval regulations
no oflicer can even protest for publ
cation against the order. To do sc
would mean a courtmartial as il
would be criticism CT his superior
officer, one Of the heinous crimes laid
down in the rules. Only those OF
fcers who favor the order will be
heard from by the navy department.
The most outspoken OF the secre
tary's critics today was Representa-
tive Bartholdt, Of Missouri.
| This is an unusually harsh meas
ure," he said. "It violates persona
liberty. The men Of the navy are
American citizens and should have
i their rights respected. I do no
think the use of beer or light wine:
harmful. Other nations permit thi:
practice. The German soldiers, wat
drink beer. have proved in many bat
ties that they are ideal soldiers.
The antisaloon forces received the
order with much joy. Jesse c. Sutor
