Polling is taking placfe to-day on the issue of the State-wide question, shall liquor licences be abolished ? Voting is compulsory and the 1,029,000 electors enrolled will be asked to say “ Yes,,” or 11 No.” Sixty per cent, of the votes polled are necessary to carry prohibition. Two districts, Nunawading and Boorendara, are already dry, and are unaffected by to-day’s vote. The licences in these two districts can only be renewed by a vote of the people of those districts at the local option poll. The campaign has been strenuous and bitter. It has been notable for causing breaches in the ranks of the Labour Part?. and the Housewives’ Association.
