License Question to Be
Voted on in April.
Necessary Number of Names
Secured by Noon Today.
Were Certified to Secretary of State
by the City Clerk.

At o O'Clock this morning, when the
Office OF the city clerk opened, the num-
Der of names on the numerous petitions
for the submission OF the question OF
license or no license to the vote of the
people which had been found to be
those of qualified electors was 1245. Ten
per cent. of the vote cast at the last
election OF general oe;cers is 1915, so the
promoters of the no license movement
were still 270 short OF the number requir-
ed to make their petition effective and
insure the inclusion OF the question in
the election warrant. The Office had been
open hut short time, however, when
another latch Of petitions was presented
and those we're sent at once to the office
OF the board OF canvassers and registra-
tion who began the work Of canvassing
them Immediately. Between IL and II
o'clock they had found enough names of
qualified voters on these additional petit
tions to bring the total number beyond
the 10 required. When this point was
reached the petitions were sent back to
City Clerk Clarke, who, at 1910, certi-
fed them 10 the Secretary of State with
the statement that they contained the
names OF a sufficient number OF qualified
electors for the purpose of having the
license question submitted to vote. The
petitions were then borne off in triumph
by the chief workers In the cause and
were soon in the hands OF the Secretary of
State.
The liquor dealers had been hopeful
that the necessary number of names
would not be secured and until yester-
day they believed they would not have
TO make fight to preserve their busi-
ness. The fact that three weeks work
had sufficed TO produce the names of only
500 qualified voters in support of the
movement was taken by them as pretty
good indication that the remaining 1909
needed could not be gathered in three
days. But in that impression they were
very much at fault. As the time for the
filing of petitions drew toward the close
the no license men took off their coats
and worked as they never have done since
1856, when they succeeded In getting a
probibitory clause tackled on the Const l.
tuition. They employed canvassers who
went about the city securing names with
the result that they gained the end
aimed at and will now have chance to
find out just what the sentiment of the
electors of this town is on the license
question.
The dealers say now that they wanted
to keep out of politics, but that the ac-
tion of the no license men has forced
they in, ana, being in, they will make
as hard fight for the preservation of
their business as they possibly can.
Moreover they declare that they will win
by big majority, which, however, need
not be accepted as fact until the ballots
are counted.
