b'!( ration the fact that moBt of the
counlie- out are In favor cf the propos-
et' amcrdinent that it haH carried.
Tlio majority Is expected to run
about f.Mitl. The vote In such coun-
ties as Heaver Bryan Jackson Co-

ce. ly certain to be heavily in favor of
fit? tepeai of the offensive article.
The vote on the east Bide was
agjinsl the amendment for the greater
fart while on thy west Hide the vole

Kh.tilng exception In the west was Hl-
