of frequent massage and continuous

ILLINOIS ELECTIONS.
Anti PrOhibitiOniSts Won in
Larger Cities But lost in
Smaller Places and About
1000 Saloons Will Be
Wiped Out.

Chicago, ILL.,. April 8.-The
great liquor contest in Illinois
has resulted in a drawn battle,
with the saloons winning decis-
vely in most of the larger cities,
but losing in scores of smaller
ones. LOLA saloons being voted
out of existence.
The returns. as collected by
townships, are even more i'm
pressive from the prohibition
viewpoint. 828 townships, or
more than three-fourths of the
total number = 1,O12 - being
closed. Only by winning in the
larger cities did the liquor inter-
ests save themselves from a com.
plete rout.
Where the "grog-shop" was
not an economic asset in city
government the prohibitionists
had the advantage. Where
financial questions entered large.
ly. they lost. Although they did
not chase the demon rum" from
the State, they profess satisfac-
tion with the results. They were
the aggressors and where they
win it is clear gain.
The saloons were on the defen-
sive. Where they win they have
nothing to gain but what they
had before, and the losses are
clear loss. Returns from the
200 townships of the State are
incomplete, and it is not possible
| to state with exactness how
many saloons will close their
doors thirty days hence as re-
suit of yesterdays ballotting.
The figures available place the
mum Der at oyer 1000 being for
the most part IN towns which had
from five to twenty five saloons
each.
