COLUMBUS. O., Nov. s-Com-
plete but unofficial returns compiled
by the international News service

revolutionary step in its history and
adopted prohibition by a majority
of 2.1O4 votes. The vote was; For
prohibition. 517,934; against. SIS.
$50.
This tabulation gives Hamilton
county (CincinnatD credit for an al
legged error Of 10000 votes. Some
Cincinnati wet leaders said the mis-
take was $4,000 and other but 5000.
Even allowing for an error of $4,000
the state still is dry by a majority
of 1O4.
Watch Errors Closely.
The alleged error at Cincinnati
was regarded with suspicion. GOV.
Cox. Sec'y OF State Fulton, James
A White. superintendent of the
Ohio Anti-SaloOn league and private
and individuals started investigation
of the matter and the count there
will he watched very closely.
The surprising thing about the
Cincinnati vote of prohibition was
that il was 5000 in excess Of the
com oined mayoralty vote. Another
thing that was regarded with sus-
picion was that the error was first
announced by the Cincinnati vets.
The drys' victory ENDS a four-year
fight in this state to ust John Bar
leycorn The victory means that a
state Of 5000. 600 inha Ditants. with
many large cities and considered
next TO New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts,, a bulwark of the
liquor forces. will no longer permit
the manufacture or sale OF intoX-
iCants for beverage purposes.
Official Count Started.
The official count of the returns
on prohibition was started through
out Ohio today. This may disclose
slight gains or losses in various
precincts for both sides. This count
will be the only one by the state,
unless Of course. recount OF the re-
suits disclosed today should be or
dered by the courts through petition
by either side.

BUY Ell PAsO MADE GOODS.

Editor Ell Paso Herald;
It appears an opportune moment to
call the attention Of homekeepers
especially. to the need OF patrOniZing
now being done. We are urged upon
all sides to be loyal, to show our
willingness to make the most OF all
opportunities. to spend money to the
best advantage How better can we
do this than standing BY our own
manufacturers During the past
week I have spoken with dozens Of
women who had not the slightest
idea what nor where different com
modities are made right here in FL
Paso.
Therefore. 7 urge every wonan's
organization, church societies and
all clubs to proceed as bodies or in
dividually to learn for themselves
what we have here in our midst and
where, the prices. and all particul-
ars.
We have IN FL Paso the finest fresh
butter and other dairy products,
paste foods. coffee. lard, meats. lard
products. sauces and relishes; bread,
cakes, cookies, pies. broor1s. SOAP
syrups, polish, aprons-and several
other needful products.
suggest that every man and
woman who IS interested visit these
factories and see for themselves, then
for lust one week, use in their own
homes, our own products Prove how
well il will succeed. and have the
satisfaction Of helping the concerns
who are in our midst and spending
their money with US.
I do not advocate not buying any
thing unless II be made here, but l
do urge giving these firms and indi.
viduals a fair chance, as well as
profiting by being able to purchase
goods made consequently IN
better condition than most shipped
in products could be.
