The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1906-02-02

October 1, 1904, the field force was in
creased to ten men, giving their entire
time to the work, which is in addition
to clerical force equal in number.
The revenue has increased from less
than $4,000, the first year of the re-
organization, to $4,000 in 1905.
The thing which has united temper
ance forces of all shades and degrees of
opinion is the effort for the passage of
a simple, elastic, comprehensive local
option law, that will make a popular
vote on the saloon question mandatory
and directly operative. This was not
proposed as the solution of the saloon
problem, but as the first step in that
direction, viz, establishing the right of
the majority of the people of any voting
division to get rid of the saloons by
direct vote.
A local option bill was drafted and
introduced in the legislature which met
in January, 1901. The bill was crude,
but met with general APPROVAL The
purpose of it's introduction was to draw
the fire of the opposition and define an
issue. AS there was no organized SEN
timent behind the bill it's experience
could not be dignified with the name of
campaign
The session of 1903 witnessed the
first real campaign. The moral support
of the church was behind the movement
and the campaign was waged SO vigor
ously, the bill being kept alive to the
end of the session, and such widespread
interest was aroused through the means
of the ''letter campaign carefully
worked up by the Anti-SaloOn League,
which resulted in tens of thousands of
letters being sent to the legislature,
that the far-seeing politicians recog-
nized at once that a new political factor
had appeared. The bill proposed in
this session was revised and greatly i'm
proved.
Immediately at the close of the ses-
sion the League went out with the roll
call which it had secured, to make SEN
timent. So far as known, no man who
was opposed by the liquor men for vot-
ing right on the local option bill in
1908, was defeated, while a number of
the opponents of the bill failed of re-
nomination, and many who had been
silent were compelled by their constit-
uents to pledge themselves to support it.
The minority representation" in
Illinois, which makes almost certain the
election to the lower house of the legis-
lature the regular party nominees in
most cases, offers peculiar advantages
in the election of Independents, and the
election of 1904, although it rolled up
the largest Republican majority in the
history of the state 100000 in round
numbers) sent three PrOhibitiOnists, in

1t is possible that one or two of the
measures passed by both branches OF
the Legislature may never find their way
to the statute books, through the pocket
veto Of the governor, The executive
avoided d veto last night by asking the
legislature to recall the bill which IN
creased the salary OF the state bank
inspector from $1,000 to ST. 500. When
recalled, the bill was amended to place
the salary at $1,000 year.
Last night Governor Proctor appointed
Henry 3. Gushman to be Judge Of the
new municipal court in Newport.
One Of the features Of the last ses-
sion Of the House was the second kill
ing of ain attempt 70 pay the judiciary
committee three dollars per day extra.
1t was the occasion for an earnest de-
bate. but the economizers finally tri-
umphed hy a vote Of 2s to SO. But the
House did open a generous heart to the
extent of voting 500 to Representative
Finn of Springfield for extra services
rendered,
The bill known as the mental an
guish'' measure, to provide redress for
the failure Of telegraph companies to
deliver messages in reasonable time,
died through the failure Of conference

Another bill thet failed was that giving
