ence of small, insignificant mankind.
He grimlY smiled as he arose and con-
templated the situation.
Both sides were early to arrive at the
polling places. The ''drys" turned out
in greater numbers at each voting
place. The "wets' were none the less
active when they commenced work.
The scene at the polls all day was an
animated one and much hostility was
displayed in the effort to gain mon to
one side or the other. Several tricks
were played upon the unsuspectiDg
voters by the workers who stood around
sented them by person whose badge
indicated him on the opposite side of
the issue from the ticket he presented.
A few individuals were fooled before the
other side caught on to the game.
1t was not an easy matter, however,
to deceive the ordinary voter, even by
folded ballot. The "drys'' had par
TALLY guarded against that by having
their ticket considerably larger than
the "wets." 1t was nearly twice as
long and the word against" before the
words licensing the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors." was printed in large black
type not to be easily mistaken.
1t was the plan or the ''drys" to poll
their vote early, and at noon large
percentage Of their entire strength had
been polled. In all the wards they
showed that majority, as far as
could be determined, had been cast for
that side. In the First ward, at 9
o'clock, 26S votes had been cast and a
conservative estimate put the "drys" at
TO 1. The other wards were estimated
to be at that time in about the same
proportion.

PROGRESSIVE EUoHRE IS GAMBLING
And Is Therefore Declared Illegal by
Judge Moon


WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-A special dis
patch from Chattanooga, Tenn, says:
Judge Moon, in bis charge to the grand
jury yesterday, created sensation by
declaring that progressive euchre was
gambling. He said: mot only is amb-
ling carried on in regular gambling re-
SORTS. but people of high standard and
respectability gamble. They may not
put down money, but they set an en-
ample for others in playing for prizes
and awards. In these progressive eucre
games these persons play for fne pic
lures or gold headed canes. The ex-
amples are set that are in violation of
law and it is just as demonstrating as
common gambling. The conviction of
one man of the higher class, is better,
as an example, than the conviction of
only ordinary people for common gamb-
ling"
Society people are excited over the
attitude taken by Judge Moon.
