The contest for the Canada Temper- ance Act (better known as the Scott Aet) in Hueon County was concluded with the voting on Thursday last. Voting day in Winghatn saw the active workers on both sides of the questi9 hard at work getting the vote out. / Tree weather. aewaverfect for the polling of a large vote and in nearly all the ninon eipaltties.all available votes were polled. In Wingham only eighteen less votes were polled than at the municipal elec- tions and in Turnberry only -ten votes less were polled than on municipal election day. While the temperance people felt sure that the Act would carry they were not looking for such a large majOrity. We understand that many of those opposed to the Act ex- pected a majority against the Act hi the county of 1000. The temperance people of the town received the returns in the town hall and a number of the prominent workers in short addresses expressed thems4ves as highly pleased with the result. There are at present thirty-two hotel licenses and two shop licenses in the county, and it is reported that these will expire on May ist, 1eI4, and from May ist 1914 to May ist, 1615, the county will be under "no license," and for the next three years under the Can- ada Temperance Act. The vote also gives some interesting figures. X There were 7,467‘ votes for the Act and 4,924 against, making a total vote of 12,391, which compared with the vote of 1884 shows that 2,000 more votes were polled in 1914 than in 1881, not- withstanding the fact that the popu- lation of the county is now considerably smaller./ The vote also shows that if it had been required to get sixty per cent. the act would have carried with a mar- gin of thirty-three votes.
