forcement Of the prohibition act and a
plebiscite in 1929 free from any politi-
cal tinge.
Voting in Charlottetown and vicinity
resulted in majority of 2l8 for gov
eminent control. the totals being AT
to 1899. Only third of the electorate
here went to the polls, and the wom-
ems vote predominated in many in
stances. There were prohibition ma
ioritieS for all three counties, Kings,
