KINGSTON VOTED IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL ------ By a Majority of 1424--0nly About Two Thins of the People : Entitled to Vote Cast Their Ballots Kingston voted on the plebiscite "wet," while Rideau on Thutsday and voted in favor of! wards were recorded in the "dry" government control by a majority of 1,424. There were a total of 9,482 votes east out of a total of 15,247, so the vote shows that over one-third of the people did not take the trouble to answer the questions. In the vote taken in 1921 there were 9,482 votes polled when the "wets" had a mas jority of 1,256. Five wards Sydenham, Ontario, St. Cataraqui and Frontenac out 'of the: seven-- Lawrence, voted column. 1 The village of Portsmouth voted "wet by a majority of 166. The O.T.A. forces were well or- ganized for the vote, but the "silent vote" no doubt told the story of the ballots. The Whig had a speedy system for receiving the returns and the bulle- ting were given both ia the Whig windows and at the city hall as soon as they were received. The first returns was received and Victoria from polling sub-division 7c St. Law- rence ward, at exactly v.10 p.m., just | ten minutes after the closing of the polls. This was exceedingly good | time. Considering the number of | polling subdivisions, the returns | came in very quickly, and the Whig | was the first to have the final sum-' mary. Cataraqui ward gave the biggest majority for the "wets," that of 674, | while Rideau ward gave the largest | majority for the "drys," 307. } It is of interegt to note that on the yote taken in the city in 192%; on the question of importation, the city went "'wet" by a majority of 1,266 and at that time, the same &s in the election of Thursday, every ward in the city voted "wet," with the exception of Rideau and Victoria wards, " . The question at that time was "Are you in favor of the prohibition of the importation of liquor?" The very best weather prévailed for the voting. On Wednesday, the Weather Man predicted warmer weather on Thursday and he hit it right, for the ther was ideal-- in fact it could mot have been more "Phone 1071 UNUSUAL VALUES FOR SATURDAY FLANNEL DRESSES Favored styles of new Flannel Dresses in all new shades: Cocoa, Sand, Blue, "Phone 1071 ° More New Coats For Saturday NEW IN STYLE: FABRIC--COLOR--POPULAR PRICED" FUR TRIMMED Cut Velour Coats. at favorable for getting out the vote. 014 Sol came out in all his glory in homior of the great day, and stayed on the job. No person could blame the Weather Man for his not voting. However, the returns show that there were 5,765 people who did not exercise their franchise for some reason. "I did not vote because I did not | know how to vote," one man said to the Whig. And there were others of the same frame of mind. The Whig had a "full house" for its programme at Menlorial Hall, while the crowd in front of the Whig office was very large, a goodly num- ber remaining until a very late hour, eager to get information as to the results all over the province.
