In addition to the 465 majority shown by the clerks’ returns, there are fifty more ‘‘dry’’ votes known to exist in Portland, which are not in- cluded in the city clerk’s report, be- cause of an admitted error. The change from an apparent vic- tory from the wet side by 700 votes to 500 votes in favor of the ‘‘drys’’ came after prohibitionists had con- ceded defeat and representatives of those who sought the repeal of the constitutional amendment had sent out numerous statements as to what would be done next.
