DRYS WIN STATE:
home RULE LOST
IN RECORD VOTE
UPSTATE GOES HEAVILY
AGAINST ALL WET ISSUES
UPPER PENINSULA VOTES DRY
PrOhibitionists jubiIant as Coun-
ties Rolled Up Majority Ex-
ceeding Their Expectations

Detroit-From the moment the re-
turns began to roll in from up the
state the prohibition cause took on an
aspect of victory that exceeded the
expectation of the most ardent of the
"drys" as voiced in the campaign.
1t was evident from early returns
that many of the supposedly wet"
strongholds were polling a large num-
Der Of votes for prohibition. The
wet" vote in the copper counties
was distinct disappointment to the
home rule adherents.
Vets Win In Detroit.
Wayne county and Detroit particu-
larly was relied upon by the "wets"
to register in whopper vote in favor
Of home rule and against the prohi-
bition amendment. The small major
ity received by the vets in Detroit
was a surprise to all the campaign
managers.
Towns Vote Dry.
Grand Rapids went on record for
q dry Michigan as did also Battle
Creek and Jackson. The first returns
to reach the ranks of the "drys" at
their headquarters the night of cleo
ton was the report from Worthwhile.
The vote from Worthwhile Endorsed
prohibition by 426 to las, while. the
home rule amendment was defeated
40 to 126.
First returns from Oakland county
increased the majority in favor of a
dry state. Pennington gave a major
ity of 200 for prohibition and the ma
1ority against home rule was 1856.
Holly expressed itself for the dry
amendment by 218 majority and bur-
led the home rule amendment by
217 votes. The township OF Bran
don, in Oakland county, went for the
dry amendment by "a and against the
liquor interest measure by 113.

Many Voters Delayed.

insufficient instructions from the
election commission, failure OF super
visors and inspectors to appear, I'M
incidents of the sort. caused marked
delay in the voting in large num-
Der of precincts in the city Tuesday.
In the First district, Fourth ward,
the delay threatened for time to
disfranchise many voters, who 1t
appeared, would not be able to cast
their votes before the polls closed.
This ward had registration of
more than 600. Outside the booth a
line extended half a block. After
the polls opened in this precinct
about an hour and a half after the
prescribed time, the voters were
handled slowly, 1t requiring consid-
cradle time to give out the ballots.
For some time after the polls were
supposed to open confusion reigned
in this precinct. The only member
of the election board to appear was
Thomas G. Crag, registrar. The
election commission, it appeared,
had not provided inspectors to take
the places of the former board, e. +.

were refused.
Ballots Were Missing.
The election commission was i'm
mediately notified and inspectors,
clerks and supervisors were obtain
ed. Then when it was announced
the scores who were waiting outside
could begin voting, it was discovered
one form Of ballot was missing and
in its place was a duplicate ballot.
The polls were closed again until
the ballots were secured.
Unfamiliarity with their work
caused considerable confusion among
members of the election board at
the opening of the polls in numerous
districts. In several precincts the
policemen instructed the men on var
ious points until the election commits
sion could be consulted. In several
Of the districts an inspector or super
visor failed to show up, with the re-
suit that the commission was ap-
pealed to.
There was little evidence Of crook
ed work. Challengers. with lists OF
names of those who registered and
were under suspicion, stood by. There
were a large number of challenges
against those registered whose ad.

New York, Sept. 22.-The record Of
today's session on the Stock Exchange
promises to form a part of the import

ing assumed the highest proportions Of
1.525.o0O shares. making the 18th con-
secutive five-hour day in which oper-
atoms have exceeded one million
shares.
Almost from the outset the move
ment was led by United States Steel
which scored a gross or extreme gain
of AZ to the unprecedented price Of
114%. SteelS contribution to the day
amounted to about 20 per cent. of the
whole.

were almost continuous but their ef-

News bearing upon the market was
mainly favorable. including the reports
of the Mercantile agencies. which re-
ferred to favorable trade conditions.
Foreign exchange markets were dull
with no material alteration in rates.
