Edinburgh, Nov. 24.
So far as the polls have gone in Scotland No-licence has scored surprisingly few successes. Both its friends and its opponents expected a much greater vote. It is true that Edinburgh and several other important towns are still to vote, but the trend of the popular will has been unmistakable from the first, and is not likely to be modified. The failure of the middle course, ''Reduction," is so complete that this option might have been left out of the ballot paper.
The principal election of the week was decided at Dundee, the first' big industrial centre to poll after Glasgow. In all the 11 wards of the city No-Change was carried by big majorities. Feeling ran extra ordinarily high; the spate of oratory and the glut of "literature" was unprecedented. And never has a more costly election been held in Dundee; It is estimated that close upon £50,000 has been spent, the greater part of it by the ''Wets.""
