For ths Antl-L'quor Hen.
Atlanta, Not. 23.—By a vote of
to 66 the Willingham prohibition bill
passed the honse at 1:26 this afternoon.
Eighty-eight votes were necessary and
the faot that only 6 more than that
number were received made the contest
closer than the opponents of the meas
ure had hoped it would be.
The friends of the bill were satisfied,,
although they did not develop the
etrength they had hoped for, and the
announcement of the result waa re
ceived with a perfect storm of applause.
In the galleries the* enthusiasm was
almost wild, and it was soma mlnntes
before order conld be restored.
The bill as it patted provide! for gen
eral ‘ prohibition thronghont the etate,
and contains only snoh amendments as
its friends offered. It will be enrolled
thie afternoon and will go to the senate
tomorrow. There will be another bat*
tie royal over the measure before that
body.
Among the speakers against the bill
today was Hr. Bryan of Floyd, a Primi
tive Baptist preaoher, who said while
he favored prohibition he thonght the
bill nnwite.
The orowd in the gallery was larger
than yesterday, and at one time was so
demonstrative in support of the bill that
the. speaker ordered the arrest of the
people who were applauding. No ar
rests were made, but qniet was restored.
The first amendment, providing for
ratification by the people, was lost by a
vote of 07 to 93. A second of a similar
tenor waa loet by 70 to 86. A third,
whioh provided for ratification and that
in the event the bill failed the whole
state should be “wet,” was lost by a
vpte of 86 to 120.
The dispensary bill, a substitute, woe
overwhelmingly defeated.
The scene in the honse when the
amended bill pasted was most interest
ing. The friends of the author, Hr.
Willingham, gathered around to con
gratulate him.
