DENVER MUNICIPAL ELECTION

Denver, Colo, May 18.-Single
tax and prohibition were issues de-
cided in municipal election today
after bitter campaign. The single
tax amendment seemed certain to
defeat.
The liquor issue came up under an
amendment providing that Denver
shall stay "wet" after the remainder
of the state goes "dry" next January.
A provision of the state constitution
giving Denver home rule was the
hope Of the liquor interests, but the
|anti-saloon league promised to carry
the question into the courts again,
the supreme court having declared
that state liquor laws are enforce
able in municipalities. Further liti-
cation is just what the Denver "wets'
desire, hoping that an injunction
will permit them to do business even
after the state goes dry in January.
Denver is normally in favor of
saloons, 10000 wet" majority be-
ing returned in this city when Colo
ardO was voted dry last fall.
Eight other amendments and three
city Offices were purely local issues.
Women have tried to back a single
woman candidate for commissioner
of social welfare but the election of
a woman today was doubtful.

North river to watch President Will
son, on the yacht Maytlower, accom-
panied by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and other notables review the
battleships of the Atlantic fleet, num-
bering more than 70 vessels.
The Mayfower, which was anchor
ed at 72nd street, steamed up the
river at 10 o'clock this morning, pass
ing each vessel where the "jackies''
on the decks were drawn up at tat
tention" and every officer was clad
in the blue and gold uniform of the
navy. The Mayfower was accompa-
MED by the naval yacht Dolphin.
After passing up the river to 125th
street, the Mayf1ower turned and
passed down beside the fleet again,
anchoring at 72nd street at the con-
clusion of the review.
At four o'clock this afternoon the
president reviewed the Atlantic feet

day stay in New. York. After the
feet had disappeared through the
Narrows the Mayfower followed and

APPEAL LITTLEFORK CASE
Liquor Dealers Will Attempt to Re-
verse Ruling of District Judge. !

Saloon men of Littlefork are to ap-
peal from the decision recently filed
by Judge Stanton of the district court
in which he ruled that the village
was made "dry" by the vote of the
township. Notice of the appeal has
been served on Franz Jevne, Koochi-
ching county attorney, by Judge Mar
shall A. Spooner of this city. This
case was of a peculiar nature since
the town of Littlefork voted "wet" at
the April election by the narrow mar
gin of one vote, while the town of
Jameson, in which the place is To-
Gated, voted dry" by three counts.
Technical points of law arose and
the matter has been fought hard on
both sides. 1t will be decided in the
state supreme court when the case
again comes up on June 2.
