Dry victory reshapes Michigan counties in liquor vote
Detroit reports that about six hundred saloons and ten breweries may close across nineteen dry counties after yesterday's ballot. Washtenaw and Monroe lead wet gains, with Washtenaw rejecting prohibition by 800 and Monroe by 1,900. Jackson county shows a likely razor-thin dry margin amid recount talks. Republican slate for state offices appears as expected, with light turnout beyond local option races.
