A remarkable feature of the vote In every county where prohibition was an Issue waa tha tact that the number of votea cast for it was materially less than the number cast for local option in June. The obvious inference la that county prohibition did not And favor with many voters who advocated' local option and who would vote for precinct prohibition, 'We are, of course, pleassd that ws carried as many counties aa we did," said B. Lee Paget, of this city, a promi nent Prohibitionist, "but ware alao dis appointed in some. The fight will only encourage us to continue It. and ws have supreme hopes of ultimate victory. We are satisfied that -the results In Oregon will be similar to those In Texas and other, states, and the' beneficial moral and financial effects accruing to the territory which wa have won will be so marked that In each aucceedlng election In the stats the prohibition area will be Increased and none of the' counties that have now adopted the principle will ever recede from It, but will readopt It with increased majorities at every opportunity." In many localities tha Prohibitionists had to make their fight without much assistance from the local optlonlsts. This was especially noticeable In Mult nomah county, where the vote In favor of prohibition waa but little more than half that cast for the local option law, In June. Only four of the 88 precinct in the county votadr in favor of prohibition, and these four University Park. Monta viiin.
