Portland, Maine, Sept. 12.—With all
cities, towns and plantations reported
and all but 196 verified by clerk's re
turns a majority of 465 votes is shown
against the repeal of constitutional
prohibition.
Cities All Voted "Wet."
As had been predicted, the cities
were the chief strongholds of-the re
peal faction, but the majority of tbe
12,000 In the total city vote was barely
sufficient, according to the latest avail
able returns, to offset*the vote of the
rural communities.
Although the vote did not equal
that of a year ago, when the Demo
crats swept the state, which for years
had piled up big Republican majori
ties, the election was without ques
tion one of the most interesting con
tests the state has ever known.
Campaign Hard Fought
There was not a home In any sec
tion of the state which had not been
flooded with literature 'sent out by
both sides, while the voters were,
waited upon by personal worker* and
harranged at public gatherings, to
cast their ballots for or against repeat
The result was that hundreds of vot
ers had not visited the polls for years
with the possible exception of last
year, were there. ,
Little excitement marked the voting
Although* the polls In some cities wero
crowded during much of the time, it
wks an orderly crowd, and gave the
officials little or no trouble.
