PROHIBITION DEFEATED
IN ALL BUT FIVE COUNTIES
Prohibition anountered defeat In yes

ceded by tha opponents of prohibition
that Benton and Coos counties have
gone "dry" and Tillamook, Lincoln and
Yamhill are olaaasd by them as doubt

ties have gone "wet."
In all, 23 counties voted upon county
prohibition. Apparently the prohibition
ists carried at most only five of tha
23. In Multnomah county the antl-pno-hlbitlon
majority waa nearly 8,000, only
four precincts in the county giving a
majority for prohibition. Lane county,
which waa one of the principal battle
grounds, haa given a majority against
prohibition which ia estimated at ovar
800. With the single exception of Junc
tion every precinct In Lane county In
which a saloon la located went "wet."
The vote In 87 precincts out of 60 was
1.817 for prohibition and 1.918 against
prohibition.
Linn county was also tha scene of a
strsnuous contest, but the antls won
the day by tha narrow margin of 96.
There was a close fight In Jackson
county but the liquor Interests claim
that they have won by a narrow mar

New Yprk. Nov. 8. In response to the
call of Archbishop Farley the bishops of
the New York province assembled today
to pass upon the names selected for
coadjutor blahop of Rochester, N. Y., to
assist the present Incumbent, Bishop
McQuald, who la 81 years old. The most
prominent mentioned for ths honor sre

upon will be forwarded to Rome far
the final selection.
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

therefore become dry, notwithstanding
the defeat of prohibition in the county
