PROHIBITION WINS IN UNION.
Decisive Majority Against Establish
ment of Dispensary.
News and Courier.
Union, October 27.-Prohibition
wins again in Union county. In the
election held today, with three small
boxes still to be heard from, the vote
was strongly in favor of prohibition.
Out of a total vote so far reported of
1,494 there is a majority of 282
against sale. The remaining boxes,
which will not be heard from before
tomorrow, will not materially change
the result, though it will probably
reduce the majority.
The vote today exceeded by several
h.indred that polled in the dispensiry
election held on December 27, 1907,
hat will fall fully a thousand sIr-t
of the number of registered electors.
In Union alone 40- who were regis
tel.ed fail3d to vol
in the l)einember election for sah>
carried by il majority, but that elee
tion was set aside on account of irre
gularities. The prohibition advo
cates, aided by the Rev. Thos. Leitch,
who has labored diligently in that be
half, have waged a hot contest and
are jubilant over their victory. There
seems to have been no organized ef
fort on the part of the pro-dispensary
people, though some work was done.
The election passed off very quietly,
no disorder having been reported.
