Topeka, Nov. 2—(UP)—Kansas voters are casting ballots today on whether the state should retain its 68-year-old constitutional amendment prohibiting the sale of liquor in the state.
Rainy Kansas May Go Wet
Rain which fell over much of the state last night could figure in favor of the wets, since it might keep some of the rural voters away from the polls.
The dry forces, which defeated a repeal attempt 14 years ago by 89.-000 votes, relied on a heavy rural vote in support of the amendment. Wets expected a big vote in the cities of Eastern Kansas.
A close fight was predicted by most observers. Both wet and dry leaders refused to predict the outcome of the balloting.
Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have taken any official stand on the question.
The dry forces campaigned up to the voting hours, but the Kansas Legal Control council, spearheading the repeal drive, slowed its efforts last weekend.
Religion entered into the issue when Catholic priests and Episcopalian rectors spoke in favor of repeal, while other church groups were aligned behind the dry forces. One principal speaker for the drys was Glenn Cunningham, one-time great miler at the University of Kansas.

Army Engineers Fix Sunflower Water Break
Sunflower residents have water again.

They Will Go To Boulder
The broken water main was placed back in service at 2 p.m. Monday. Twelve hours earlier, the water supply was cut off when a 12-inch water main supplying the central heating plant at the ordinance works and to the village broke at 2 a.m.
Working without let-up despite the heavy downpour of rain army engineers of the Sunflower ordnance works had the broken water main repaired just 12 hours after the break was discovered. Maj. Alan C. Johnston, commanding officer, said today that no effort was spared to remedy the situation.
"You've got to hand it to the army," he said. "When the chips are down, they really deliver on time."
John A. LaMonica, Sunflower housing manager, said he thought the army had done a "swell job."
As added precaution against any possible ill effects from the break in the water supply to the village, the housing manager said Dr. H. B. Ivy and Cecil Graves, of the Johnson county health board, arranged to chlorinate the system. The management flushed the system by opening fire-hydrants.
"While the water is perfectly safe, the added precautions were taken because there is no sense taking unnecessary chances." Mr. LaMonica explained. Hand-bills asking residents to boil all water for the next two days were distributed by Boy Scot troop 54.
"Sunflower has a large number of small children. For this reason we thought it best to ask people to boil the water for a few days."
While the main was being repaired, arrangements were made to supply water to villagers for emergency purposes and drinking. The Sunflower ordinance works sent a 500 gallon truck to the village to give water to those who needed it badly. Further arrangements were made by Dr. Ivy and Mr. Grimes to add to the water being supplied by the ordinance tank truck. A private water hauler from Lawrence and the Chapman dairy company of Kansas City sent out trucks.
Delegates at the conference will draw up a regional constitution. Miss van der Smissen, chairman of the constitution committee, will lead a panel discussion on a national constitution for Independent students.
Sixty dollars of the combined expenses of Miss van der Smissen and Miss Brooker will be paid by I.S.A. They will travel by bus.
I. S.A. decided Monday to survey Lawrence cleaning establishments for prices on dry cleaning. This action was taken as a result of a letter from the I.S.A. of the University of Oklahoma, which is surveying dry cleaning costs in mid-western school cities and towns.
The Christmas dance of the Independent Student organization will be Saturday, Dec. 18, in the ballroom of the Union. The dance will be semi-formal.
