WETTEST TOWN IN DRY CAMP

The following confession from F. W. Chain, who once ran for president on the Prohibition ticket, and stump ed" the country for the "drys" as q member of the famous Plying Squadron" was entirely unexpected

 Thus dose E. W. Chain, at one time candidate for president of the United States, sum up the situation with relation to the suppression of liquor sales in this state.
 Iowa's prohibition laws do not pro- hibit, declared the noted temperance worker and rcformer. Mr. Chain left his home in Arizona several months ago to stump Iowa in the in tercsts of prohibition and woman's suffrage. He has made more than 800 spperhcs in this state.
 Chain attacked the private con- sumption clause in the Iowa liquor statutes and urged Iowa prohibition ists to eliminate this clause at the next general assembly.

COMMISSIONER REVIEWS
 PROHIBITION ELECTION

DAWSON, Sept. S,-When asked today as to what further proceedings could be taken in regard to the pro hibition plebiscite the commissioner stated that under the terms of the plebiscite ordinance the returning of fcers for the various districts, within fourteen days after the day on which the pcbiScitc was held, will sum up the result of the returns of all the deputy recurring officers and make a return to the commissioner of the re- suit of the plcbiscitc, and that after receiving these returns a statement of the result of the vote will be pu,- lishei in one issgc of tine Official Ga zcttc Up to date returns have been made by the returning officers for North Dawson, Bonanza and Nondikc Returns for South Dawson and White horse are yet to be made.
 The commissioner states that un- der the terms of the ordinance it is doubtful whether recount can be had, although this IS a matter of opin- ion on the interpretation of the pIcb- jscite ordinance and the election or dmuyc. Except for the purpose of deciding bets, the commissioner says tEat a recount would not seem to be of much use, as public opinion is quite apparently very evenly divided in Yu- kon on the question of prohibition, with a slight majority against it. To justify the government in making such sweeping change in the exist ing state of affairs, he states, it should have behind it a substantial and decided majority of the people, which, he adds, it would apparently not have in Yukon.
 Asked as to what he thought of the
 {, the commissioner said that he vas not surprised, as during the cam paign he had judged public opinion to be fairly evenly divided, that if h, had been convinced of the correctness of the assertions of the supporters of prohibition that vast majority of the electors wore in favor of pr,hibi- ton le would have been greatly sur prised at the result. They doubtless were misled, he says, by the large number who signed the petition in favor of prohibition but who did not vote that way. The assertion of some people that the council should have the government for pro- hibition on the strength of the peti-

tion is shown by the result of the vote, he states, to have been errone- ous, and that the council, in referring the matter to the vote of the electors took the correct and proper action. The unreliability of petitions in Yu- kon, he adds, long has been a matter of general knowledge, but has been more fully demonstrated in this in- StanCe.-EX.
