TOTALLY DRY AS RESULT
OF ELECTIONS.
DRY MAJORITY $4,000

Total Number OF Dry Town

Wet 1923.

Chicago, April S.-As a result OF
yesterdays local option election
thirtysix counties out of the 1872 IN
Illinois are now entirely anti-saloon
territory while nineteen others are
anti-saloon with the exception of one
township in each.
Twentyseven OF the totally dry
counties voted on the question yes
terday and niue decided to abolish the
saloon last November.
According 10 latest returns $50
townships voted against saloons and
30i townships favor saloons. The
total number of dry townships IN
the state, including those which held
elections last November, Is now 1928,
and the total wet" townships 1923,
The most reliable estimates place
the number of saloons voted out of
business yesterday at LOO and the
net anti-saloon majority cast in the
entire territory voting at $4,000.
In all 81 counties held elections
yesterday and in that territory it is
estimated that there are now about
5000 salons. The result of the elec.
ton therefore, will compel more than
cne-third this number of saloons to go
out of business within thirty days.
