As said in these on the
day following the contest, the result
of the dispensary election last Wed-

advocates of the dispensary. The
saloon advocates exhausted every
resource in their power in the effort
to win. The election returns were
presented to the aldermen at their
regular meeting the night following
the election, and representatives of
both sides were present to argue the
matter. The board, however, de-

one signed by two of the judges,
the other by only one. The board
accepted the majority returns and

yesterday with a gentleman who is
identified with the tobacco industry,
and in answer to a question as to
his opinion of prices for the remain-

low prices which prevailed
during last fall were due to lack of
sufficient competition. The fen-

extent that they could control the
market. Whatever prices they de-
sired to pay governed tho market.
Quite recently prices have advanced
materially particularly in Eastern

was caused and stimulated by tho
large companies.
Occurring as it does just at the
