furnished the only matters of
doubt. AT times both appeared
on the way to success, only to
have additional returns turn the
tide. With less than half of the
precincts reported on the COM
missioner proposition, it was fav-
ored by majority of 5000, but
there was no way to figure which
way the remaining reports would
affect the measure.
A see-sawing marked the status
of the prohibition initiative. For
a time it looked as if the measure
would be defeated and later the
was reversed. With less
than half of the precincts heard
from, opponents of the amend
ment had a slight lead.
