Vote Down Prohibition.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Nov. For the
second time in two years Ohio voters
today rejected a statewide prohibition
amendment to the constitution.
Estimates based on partial returns
received up to midnight show that the
proposal was defeated by a majority
which may reach forty thousand. Last
years majority against prohibition
was $4,000.
Incomplete returns from 40 coun-
ties gave the following result:
For prohibition 1920, against
12O.50O.
Among the 33 counties yet to be
heard from are several districts which
are expected to give majOrities Of from
500 to 1000 for prohibition. Prohibit
ton was defeated in Cincinnati by
about seventy thousand votes.
There was considerable uncertainty
as to the fate of the constitutional
stability amendment which would pre-
vent for six years a vote on a consti-
.tutional proposal which has been
twice defeated. Apparently it was re-
jected.

Assyrian Applied for Naturalization Pa.
pers before Judge Smith.

Charleston, Sept. 15.-Word was
received here this evening that the
United States court of appeals has re-
versed the decision of Federal Judge
II. A. M. Smith in the case of George
Dow, an Assyrian. who applied for nat
uralization papers here last May and
was refused on the ground that there
Is an old federal act preventing the
naturalization of Assyrians.
When Judge Smith rendered his de-
cision In the matter. Assyrians In all
parts of the country took it up and
carried the case to a higher court.
There has been much interest in the
case locally and Assyrians in all parts
of the United States felt that the final
decision In the matter would mate
rally affect their welfare In this
country.
The reversal Of Judge Smiths de-
cision probably means that George
Dow and other Assyrians will be
granted naturalization papers.

Dorchester and Charleston Counties

Between $4,000 and 10000 Votes
Cast, 33,75o for and 15,1O7 Against

Columbia, Sept. 16.-Later returns
from the election held Tuesday did
not materially change the result as in
Gicated by the earlier figures, which
showed a majority of about 20, 600 for
Statewide prohibition as opposed to
county option.
Only two counties appear to have
gone against Statewide prohibition
Charleston. which gave a tremendous
percentage in favor Of the retention
of the present system, and Dorchester,
which finally has given small ma
jority against Statewide prohibition.
All the other dispensary counties
voted for Statewide prohibition, sew
eral by sweeping majorities, and all
the dry counties went in favor of a
Statewide law, the only ones in which
the contest was in. any way close be-
ing Horny, were prohibition has a
slight, majority, and Berkeley, where
the vote appears too slight to count
for much.
With all the votes accounted for,
except probably 5000, in about 200 of
the 1000. approximate, precincts yet
to be heard from, the count stands:
For prohibition, 33,755.
Against prohibition, 15,1O7.
Majority for prohibition, 2O,648.
This accounts for 5O,S62 votes and
with the 5000 estimated to be out
standing. it appears that not more
than $4,000 ballots were cast Tues
day. The boxes yet to come in are
believed to be small ones, with an
average Of not more than 25 votes To
