Population

Twelve counties in Minnesota have
been voted "dry" by the provisions
of the county option law and it seems
likely that five more will be added
to the list when Douglas, Fillmore,
Jackson, Mobiles and Rock vote next
Monday. The elections have illus
trated conclusively that the wave of
prohibition is of great strength and
act as a forecast showing that the
entire country is soon to be dry"
Option has carried in the following
counties: 'Chisago, Clay, Isanti,
Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lyon, Lincoln,
Carlton, Polk, Roseau, Swift and
Yellow Medicine. Contests were
made in Clay, Polk, Carlton and Lin
coin. In Lincoln, located in the
southwestern part of the state, county
option carried by only thirty-on
votes, while in the northern counties
it has in all instances carried by
large majorities, showing that this
section Of the state is not as wild as
our southern friends would believe.
