PORTER IN WET COLUMN

Valparaiso and Ten Townships Show Majorities Against the Drys. Valparaiso, Ind., June 4.—Porter county voted wet in a local option election by an unofficial majority of 375. The wets carried the city of Valparaiso by 102 majority. Only two of the twelve townships voted dry. No attempt was made to vote students of Valparaiso university. The wets, it is believed, gained strength by their overwhelming victory in Laporte, an adjoining county.
