prohibition.
Predictions of victory by leaders
of repeal forces ranged all the
way from to l to 3 to l. Gov
Guy B. Park leaned to the more
conservative estimate.
Because of expectation that
there will be no contest, an ex-

While wet forces wound up a
vigorous statewide campaign, drys
were concentrating on court ac-
