under consideration the Canadian
system of package purchase seems
to be the one most favored.

sale of LIQUOR in hotel dining rooms
and restaurants Seven states have
adopted this system, or q modihca-
tion Of It, or have the system un-

sale Of beer and wine In restau-
rants and providing sale to the
public through state dispensaries,

other states plan state-controiied
liquor stores.
Washington, Nov 7.--(UP)-
From President Roosevelt down,
administration leaders were SUI
premely confident that repeal bal
loting in six states today would
redeem the democratic pledge to
scrap prohibition.
The favorable votes Of only three
Of the six were required
Mr. Roosevelt already has moved
to have temporary control machin-
cry ready for repeal, to deal with
the liquor situation In the period
from December s, until congress
acts. A special house committee,
under the craftsmanship of Repre-
sentative Samuel 3. Hill, dem,
Wash, is working with various
agencies OF the government on
permanent liquor control and taxa
ton laws. These will be consid-
cred by congress in January.
At the presidents direction an
nter-departmental report on tenn
porary control machinery has been
drawn up under the leadership of
Undersecretary Of Treasury Ache
son. It's content has not yet been
revealed. The president Is anxious
| to meet with all the power at the
governments command the possi-
| bility Of conntiue bootlegging after
repeal. Through proper taxes and
duties It Is intended to make boot
Logging improbable, and at the
same time assure revenues to make
up for several tax levies that die
with repeal
Among conflicting reports Of Its
content was one to the effect that
the state department had recon-
mended high import taxes on all
liquors to give 1t bargaining power
in negotiating for reciprocal trade
agreements.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov O.
(UP)-Repeal In Utah by slight
majority In today's balloting was
forecast by observers.
The forecast was based upon an
indicated revolt among younger
Mormans. Temperance Is part OF
the Mormon faith. Ninety per cent
younger Mormons last fall elected
II. s. Senator hilbert Thomas on O
wet platform
In any case, today's election will
not bring hard liquor to Utah. Bal
loting was on ratification of repeal
and on legalizing manufacture and
sale of $50 per cent beer.
Herber J. Grant, president OF the
Latter Day Saints (Mormon)
church insisted throughout the
campaign that Utah should vote
dry even though all other states
repeal.
Raleigh. N. c., Nov ---(UP)-
Fate Of both national and state
prohibition In North Carolina was
seen as hanging In the balance to-
day, although this state was not
voting directly on the repeal issue.
A bitterly contested election will
decide whether North Carolina
will hold q convention on ratifica-
ton Of national repeal and, II so,
whether the majority OF delegates
will be wet or dry.
Until recently wet sentiment APP
peared preponderant. But drys
succeeded In organizing every nook
and, Granny of the state.
If vets win the fight today for
q convention, It was seen as pos
sible that drys may gain the final
Victory by electing q majority OF
delegates. Their rallying slogan is
that o wet victory will doom the
state bone dry act
Columbia, s. c., Nov 7.-(UP)-
An extremely close vote in South
Carolina today on national repeal
was foreseen by observers. Fewer
than 100000 ballots were expected
to be cast.
Both vets and drys were con-
fident Of victory. The result will
probably be known early tonight.
Polls close at p M, except in
Columbia and Charleston, where
they close'at 8.
Balloting today ends a campaign
In which neither vets nor anti-re-
pealists apparently were able to
| stir much interest.
State Democratic Chairman
Claud N. Sapp said South Carolina
would repudiate national prohibit
ton by three to two. DR. G.. Il.
Burts, dry leader, was equally con-
fident.
Butte, Mont, Nov 7.-(UP)-
Holiday cheer this Christmas with
anything stronger than 3 2 per cent
will be illegal even though cleo
lions today ring out the prohibition
amendment, according to Federal
Judge George M. Bourquin.
| The Judge warned that repeal
can not lawfully be realized until
congress votes out the Volstead act.
His opinion differs with previous
interpretations. II has been held
that repeal will become effective
when SO states have ratified the re-
peal amendment.
Columbus, o., Nov 7.-(UP)-

tualIy unanimous in predicting
