Ohio "Wets" Give Farewell
Parties to John BarIeycorn;
Suffrage Vote Close in
Lone Star State.

Dallas, Tex, May 24.-The fates
of both the prohibition and the
woman's suffrage amendment to the
state constitution were in doubt to-
night when reports from two score
scattering cities in the state had
been counted. The vote then stood:
For prohibition, 1888; against pro-
hibition, l7,769. For suffrage, l6,-
5l4: against suffrage. 1890
This count included many of the
larger cities, some of which had
been counted on to vote against
prohibition and suffrage. The coun-
try and the smaller towns voted dry
and for the women, and the earlier
returns piled up substantial leads
for both amendments.
The first setback for the drys
came when San Antonio reported AZ
precincts out of 90 as giving 1,585
votes for prohibition and 5,845
against, and 2,654 for suffrage and
1898 against.
Galveston Aids Vets.
Galveston added to the wet advan-
tage when 27 of 81 precincts in the
county gave prohibition 1867 votes
to 5,017 against. and l,542 for suf-
frage to 1905 against
The drys gained in Dallas, and so
did the suffragists, the vote being:
For prohibition 4,003, against 1885;
for suffrage 4.2SS, against 2S85.
Cleburne. Texarkana, Paris, Beau
mont, Austin, Navasota, San Angelo,
Waxahatchie. Denton, Long View,
Mineral Wells, Palestine and others
of the smaller cities voted strongly
dry. Brownsville voted wet. but
was outvoted by Cameron county, in
which it is located.
Mavery, the border county, In
which Eagle Pass is located. re-
turned a total of 66 votes for and
10S against prohibition.
1t is estimated that amendments
to raise the governors salary from
$4,000 to $4,000, and to provide
means to extend the states credit
to homeseekers had been lost.
Ohio Saloons Close.
Columbus, Ohio, May 24.-Ohio
tonight threw her hat into the pro-
hibition ring. Although constitu-
tional prohibition does not become
effective until next Tuesday, all but
1853 of the 5000 saloons in the state
quit business tonight at midnight
rather than pay $3O5 license in or
der to keep open next Monday.
Every wet center in the state to-
night gave farewell parties to
John Barleycorn. Some saloons
closed their doors early rather than
attempt to weather the closing fes-
tivities.
As the closing hour drew near
some bars auctioned off their re-
naming stock. The "end" found
many bars completely sold out. Pre-
vailing high prices did not tumble
until near midnight.

A number of saloons closed to-
night will reopen Monday or some
