because they have captured from the "Wes' another
Of the four local option districts and compared with
the election in Wilmington ten years ago. they have cut

per cent
Although iubnant that they have carried rural New

the "Drys" so confident they also would carry
Wilmington that the loss Of 10 is keen disappointment
to them. BY the token, the "Wels" elated
highly that they have succeeded IN holding the metropolis
Of the State in the Wet column but much cast down
because OF losing the rural sections Of the county.
in the gh yesterday The "Drys" had the advantage of
controlling the election machinery They had the
special Board of Elections and In each of the election
precincts they had majority OF The election officers.
But With that handicap the Wets" swept The city
after fierce and uncompromsng fight and saved the
large realty, plant and business investments they have
here.
When, at the last session Of the legislature the Dry
workers under the leadership Of Representative Martin
B. Burris rode roughshod over the Home Rule principle
for the city of Wilmington and forced the special election
