REPEAL FORCES LEAD IN MAINE ELECTION Portland, Me., Sept. 11.—Re pea. 'orces swept steadily ahead tonight as early returns from this longtime prohibition state w'ere tabulated in the election to name delegates to a convention to act on repeal of the national prohibitory amendment. The vote from 484 of the 632 precincts in the state was; For, 81.317; against, 39,996. Some of the towns reported were reversing their dry vote of 1911 when the state voted by the narrow measure of 700 to retain the prohibitory amendment In the state constitution. Repeallsts hailed the early talnilation as an assurance of victory as they expected their greatest strength to come from the centers of population. The new wire fence around the fairgrounds, authorized By the board of city commissioners sometime ago, has just been com pleted. The new fence encircles the grounds and adds greatly to the appearance of the property. The old board fence had be come dilapidated and unsuited for use and had It been repaired, the cost would have been con siderable. It was estimated that the new permanent fence would cost considerably less in the long run. The fence was built under the direction of Mr. Arthur Billings. The Job gave employment to a number of men tor several days. Greater protection is afforded tor the Great Wilkes Fair by the completion of the new fence.
