JUNEAU WETS
SEE VICTORY
THINK THEY HAVE AT LEAST
THOUSAND OK VLLTHE
VOTES TAKEN.
- J
JUNEAU, May 15. The registra
tion by the enumerators appointed by
the court show one thousand nine
hundred and thirty-nine qualified vot
ers on liquor question in this locality
It is admitted to bo probable that
some of those entitled to vote have
been missed but number overlooked
cannot be very large. The chief im
portance of overlooking anyone is due
to the fact that the court holds that
a majority of all the voters must vote
one way or another or that the elec
tion will not be conclusive. The elec
tion takes place on May 21. The
“Wets” have set marks after the
names of a full thousand of those
voting as an expression of the belie?
that those so marked will vote ir,
favor of licenses anil, therefore, they
are confident that the “Drys” will lose
out. The vote i> creating tremendous
interest which is due in a great men*
are to the controversy in the news
papers regarding the exact substance
of the court's contention as to how the
majority will be constituted or count
ed. Jennings was quoted as saying
that no vote would be regarded as a
dry vote but the Dispatch asserts that
it quoted his remarks correctly when
it stated that such was his contention.
