prohibition being defeated by 00 votea.
Twelve precincts, however, voled,
"dry" in the county, Including Haleey,
Rhedd, Tangent, South Lebanon, South
Brownsville,. Jackson has adopted
prohibition, and the "wet" majorities
of Medfoid, Jacksonville and Gold
Hill are therefore unavailing.
Gillam is a prohibition county by
34 majority. All precincts in Wash
