THU PROHIBITION QUESTION. I (Elec. Tel. Copyright— United Press Assn.) SYDNEY, April 6. j Reuter's Agency expresses the opinion that the Chicago prohibition' message . ■'is m no way ambiguous. It refers purely to the prohibition vote . taken j m conjunction, with the city municipal elections, and is distinct from the previous State vote. Considering the population", the quarter of a million majority 1 is reasonably probable. "WiELLINGTON; last night ' According to the latest report m reference to a cable from New York, stat--1 ing: "Prohibition repudiated m Chicago quarter million majority," Professor Nicholls. who is lecturing for the New Zealand Alliance, and who left his home m Boston as late as February 17, r \ st-les that m, his opinion "No poll was [ taken m Chicago. This is unnecessary: ' when prohibition lias been* affirmed by the State. The city does not vote on; State matters. It is .probable that the defeated candidate for the Mayoralty was a strong prohibitionist, hence this *■ cable." .-• -.■.-.* ■ t.J... ■ ■!,',■' -.\
