Of votes flowing in from every state

of the straw vote on the light wine and

that those in favor of modifying the

minority as the drys seemed TO think.
Final tabulation of the votes may
prove the reverse.
In the meantime the significant
phase of this contest. aside from the
question at issue. lies in this demon
stration of the practicability of the
radio as a means of public referendum.
And it is believed that the future will
see q far wider use of the radio for
similar purposes and along many lines.
