Withou; any undue fuss about it, Memorial Hall was secured for the big night and ar- rangements quietly made. Several comic flimg were secured from the Pathescope People and also, through the courtesy of the Ontario govern- ment, several reels on government and general provincial activities were also secured, At six o'clock there were several hundred in front of the Whig bulle- tin and it was not lohg after when the crowds started to fill Memorial Hall, When, the first returns from the province started, ome could not gain entrance at all. The large hall was filled to capacity and the hal- way outside was crowded to the stairs and back through the socagenl way to Ontario Hall. On the side of the auditorium to- wards the market square, the "wet" supporters were gathered and to- wards Ontario street hundreds of the "drys" congregated. Thus two gee- tions were formed, and as the re- turns trickled in 'over the special wire, first going one way, and then another, the applause swayed back and forth. The "wet" majority start- ed out strongly and then was gradu- ally worn away. As it diminished from over the 70,000 mark the "dry" element in the crowd became more and more jubilant and a great out- burst of applause came when 24,000 was clipped from the total in about. twenty minutes. Then the "wet" majority started to climb once more and the other side of the house cheered and clapped. Charlie €haplin, Bobby Vernon end other screen comedians of fame kept the people entertained and in good humor between announcements and by the aid of the projecting lantern used as an auxiliary for the "movie" machine, glides bearing comic remarks were flashed on oc- cagionally and caused much laughter. The Congratulated. From all sides came congratula- tory remarks on the Whig's enter- prise and the manner in which the big coup' wag put over. Fully five thousand people came and went from the hall in a steady stream, keeping in touch with the progress of the YWHIG'S PLEBISCITE PARTY EVENT OF THURSDAY NIGHT Visited Memorial Hall to Hear the a Good Time Geting the Results. vofe, and the market square "was crowded with parked automobiles. - One lady, a staunch supporter of the O.T.A., passed the remark: "Well, no matter which way it ends up, I'm here to say the Whig is giv- ing us fine service on the results." There was much good-natured chafing back and forth by supporters of_either side of the question, and Inthe best of feeling prevailed. One or two gentlemen who were taking mo chances on Government Control stalked merrily up the stairs occas- fonally, enquired the standing of the vote, and then went away highly pleased, only to return later and re- assure themselves that their side was still winning. It was certainly remarkable to sit at the side and watch the reactions of the crowd. Dozens of citizens who might be put down as "dry" support- erg at the first inspection, were lond- ly applauding the "wet" majorities, while dozens others, all thought by their friends to be dyed-in-the-wool wets, staunchly supported the "dry" section. Certain it is that no election in a long time, and especially a plebiscite, has caused so much interest. Prom- inent citizens of Kingston made their way through the council chamber and up behind the stage to the tele- graph operator's table to make sure of hearing the latest returns. Largely Ladies. The crowd at/:Memorial Hall was fully two-thirds ladies and a very large Umber of them were on the "wet" gide of the house, at that. They took a keen interest in every announcement and applauded or look displeased acording as {he re- sult pleased them. Too much credit cannot be given | to the-telegraph operator on the job, who, in spite of the murmur and noise of the crowd, caught his "stuff" from the ticker without an error and |' typed it speedily and accurately that it might be announced. His job was no sinecure and he handled it well Just one more word--the Whig wishes to extend thanks to all those who took advantage of its invitation by coming to Memorial Hall, By their aid the big coup was possible and if they all appreciate the ser- vice as much as the Whig appreciat- ed their presence (and all seemed to) then it was a perfect affair.
