EPITOME ILLINOIS VOTE
ON THE LOCAL OPTION
ISSUE.

While the smoke Is barely sweep
ling from the statewide battlefield
generals in both camps are proclaim
ing that Tuesdays terrific saloon
combat was a mere skirmish and that
the heavy artillery will begin boom
ing Immediately all over Illinois.
The aspect of the election returns
varies, the only point of agreeemnt
between the Anti-Saloon League on
the one hand and the liquor allies on
the other being that both sides are to
initiate at once unyielding strife for
the control of the next Illinois gen.
eral assembly.
Saloon Leaders Plan.
The saloon leaders plainly state
that they will exercise every influ-
ence and bend every endeavor to
induce the legislature to:
Repeal the local option law.
Repeal the Sunday closing law in
applying to Chicago and the larger
cities.
The local option forces, ON their
part will fight quite as determinedly
to retain what they now have in the
way of laws.
Statements issuing from the re-
spective headquarters. after the re-
turns from over the state had been
scanned, declare that the twenty-six

tatiyes, who will be nominated by
the direct primaries on August 8
and who will be elected in November
will become directly and emphatical-
lily involved in the fight which starts
\ his morning.
The Anti-Saloon League claims,
and the liquor forces practically con-
cede, that thirty-five counties in IlH-
nois are now totally anti-saloon ter
ritory, under the terms of the local
option law, as a result of the cleo
tions last November and Tuesday.
Complete returns received from
the counties of the state indicate
that these counties are now perfectly

saloons are abolished by action of
law May z.

More complete returns than could
be obtained on the night of the cleo
ton indicate that in the 200 town.
ships which voted on the saloon issue
the net majority against the dram
shops is in the neighborhood of 65,-
900. This figure is disputed by the
liquor men, although they have no
figures to offer in rebuttal, for the
reason that their campaign was con-
fined to the cities, and they took
little cognizance of the hundreds of
townships in the state which had no
saloons prior to the election and in
which they made no fight whatever,
hence the majority was all on the
side of the anti-saloon element.
The struggle is to be renewed be-
tween the two elements at the polls
on April 21, at which In about two
score of the smalled cities and vii
lagos of the state the vote on the
proposition will be taken by muni-
cipalities. The local option law per-
mfts this in certain cases. and it
applies chiefly to counties not under
township organization, which voted
last November. All townships as
such, which voted Tuesday cannot
again vote within eighteen months.

1t is rather ridiculous to read in the
Sun and some other eastern papers that
Mr.. Taft has no particular strength OF
his own-that he is getting delegations
simply because there is SO little opposition
as Bryan did for while in the Demo
GRAFT party; and that his support is likely
to fade away if he does not get the
nomination on the first ballot. The
wish is father to the thought with these
opponents of the Roosevelt policies.
The fact is that Mr.. Taft is second choise
of a larger number of delegates than
any other man, and his vots on the

The Republicans of Denver in their
platform endorced unreservedly the
local option passed by the last legisla-
ture, and their candidate for mayor ex.
pressed his sympathy with the idea of
keeping the saloons out of the residence
district in the city, So thoroughly sat-
isfied with this were the anti -saloon
people that state superintendent of the
Anti Saloon League and its state presi
dent gave out an official statement en-
dorcing the Republican platform and
ticket in the strongest terms and ending
as follows: THE plank in the Repub
lican platform is strong and compre-
hensive and all that the anti saloon
league could ask for, and upon such a
platform Mr.. Phelps deserves to win. .
With this element of support lined up
behind him, it is hard to see how tho
Republican candidate can possibly be
beaten.
