Although tho delegates were not pledged ono way or smother they were honor. bound by pro-eloction promises to vote for Maines' ratification of tho 21st (repeaD amendment. An hour after Gov Louis J. Brann had claimed the state for tho vets by m overwhelming ma. jority, tho Rev Frederick w. Smith, superintendent of the Maine Chris tian Civic league and leader of tho dry forces here, conceded victory to tho repealists early to-day. With the victory the ropealists promptly turned their attention to plans for repeal of tho states S0- year old prohibitory law, written by Neal Dow, father of prohibition, and announced their campaign would begin shortly. Gov Louis J. Brann, democratic wet, indi- voted for repeal he would take care of tho matter expeditiousiy'' by calling a special session of the legislature to resubmit the amend ment to the people. In 1911, drys prevented it's repeal by some 700 votes.
 Volstead Home Stae
 St Paul, Minn, Sept 12.-(UP)- Minnesota, home state of Andrew Volstead. voted to-day on prohibit tion repeal. Indicatoins of a wet victory were numerous.
 Nearly a million votes were ex- pected because of vigorous cam paigns both by repealists and pro- hibitionists. Volstead, author of the prohibition law, campaigned for the drys.
 A last minute impetus to the repeal cause was given by Gov Floyd B. Olson, who promised that if anti-prohibitionists win, he will appoint a liquor control commis- sion tomorrow. His promise was calculated to assure marginal drys that Minnesota will not be "wide open" after repeal.
 Prohibitionists waged their | campaign through church pro- grams, religious mass meetings and at county fairs and rural picnics.
 St Paul. Minneapolis. and Du- luth. were expected to return large | repeal majorities. Drys claimed strength in western and south western counties.
 Voters ballot on a slate of 21 delegates pledged for or against repeal. Delegates meet Oct 12. to formally ratify or reject the 2lst (repeaD amendment.
