IOWA IS DIVIDED
ON REPEAL VOTE
Both Vets and Drys Claim
Victory in Tuesdays
Election.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, June 17.-Both
sides expressed equal confidence Of VIC
tory as they launched last-minute drives
tonight before Iowa's special election
Tuesday on the question of repeal of
national prohibition.
Repealists pinned hopes OF placing
Iowa alongside the IL States which have
previously ratified the twenty -hrst
amendment, superseding the eighteenth
amendment, on a heavier than normal
vote.
Hope for Large Turnout.
Prohibition leaders, anxious that Iowa
be the first State to refuse to ratify re-
peal. also profeSsed to see success in a
large turnout. Rallies and gatherings
over the State tomorrow and Monday
are to stress get out the vote" efforts.
The anti-repeal outlook was outlined
by DR.. j. w. Graves, executive secretary
of the All-Iowa Prohibition Emergency
Committee, who declared that If the
womanhood and the farmers OF Iowa
register their opinion victory Is assured. y
Judge E. G. Moon, co-chairman OF
the Iowa Repeal for Prosperity Commit-
tee, declared ratification of repeal IN
Iowa, "in our opinion, will assure repeal
Oh SlElltCClltAl
"Its repeal vote will have an inpor-
tant effect on results in other States,
particularly Kansas" he said. THE
important thing in this election, from
our standpoint, is getting out the vote"
Campaign Lags.
Counterbalancing to some extent
probability of a heavy vote were the
lethargy which has prevailed during
most of the campaign, and prospect
that farmers would be loath to leave
their fields election day. Warm weather
also may cut the total.
Predictions that the vote might run
around the 100000 mark recalled that
In 1917, when the Legislature submitted
a State constitutional amendment
against manufacture and sale of in
toxicating beverages to the people, the
total was near 100000. At that time
Iowa voters defeated the proposed
amendment, 215,625 to 214,936.
Iowa then was dry, however, saloons
having been closed since January l.,
1916.
