DRYS WIN IN McCLENNAN
COUNTY BY 1,100 VOTES
Waco, Oct. 21—With a verita-
ble kangaroo leap, McLennan
county landed squarely on the
Texas water wagon Saturday.
Local option prohibition literally
swept the rural districts and
carried the city by a clear ma-
jority. The vote from forty box-
es of the county’s forty-nine was:
For prohibition, 4,773; against,
3,669; pro majority, 1,104.
This left to be counted the
votes in only nine boxes, all of
them due to poll less than 100
votes each and many of them less
than fifty. They will dot mater-
ially afiect the result either wav.
The total vote counted in the
forty boxes was 8,412, which is
without the missing precincts,
among the largest votes in the
history of the county.

Byron, left Monday for their
