Columbus, O.-The defeat by the
people of Ohio of the McDermott sa-
loon license act, and the Sprague cop
gresslonal ripper, was more over
whelming than first returns indicated.
The McDermott act has been slaugh.
tered by majority Of more than 10O,-
900 against 1t, while the Spragpe act
was rejected by majority which will
approximate $4,000. Returns from 78
counties show that the McDermott act
carried in only two counties, Scioto
and Union.
The Sprague act was successful in
but nine counties, namely, Athens,
Delaware, Harrison, Jefferson Law
renee, Miami, Morgan, Scioto and
Union.
The majority against prohibition in
the state will run about 10000. A
year ago it was defeated by $4,000, so
it will be seen that the drys have
made substantial gain. They have
brought up their strength some 10000.
The stability amendment ito pre-
vent the abuse of the l. and r." was
thrown into the discard by a majority
Of $1,000. It is proposed to bring up
this proposition again under the l. and
r. next year. This proposal was
fought less vigorously in west coun-
ties.
The impression that the rural coun.
ties would not turn out because there
was no state election on and so would
not return as heavy dry majorities as
a year ago was not borne out 1t was
these counties that cut down the big
wet lead. Six counties that were wet
last year came over to the dry col
umn-Seneca, Miami, Jackson, War
rem, Clermont and Lake.
By killing the McDermott act, the
people retain in effect the Greenlund
license act, which means a two years
extension of terms of appointees un.
der it.
Cincinnati, O.-Sunny skies and
moderate temperature over the entire
state brought out an unprecedented
number of voters. Officials of the Anti
Saloon League reported indications
were that one-third of the total vote
in cities and villages had been re.
corded before $3.50. Interest in the
local contests in most cities of Ohio
delayed returns in the prohibition and
stability amendments.
George Puchta was elected may.
or of Cincinnati by a majority
over Charles Sawyer, Democrat, that
will exceed 10000, and the entire Re.
publican city ticket also wins by a
big majority.
