Muscatine, Oct. '12.-The report that
the saloon petition of consent just filed
would encounter decided opposition
was confirmed when arrangements
were made by members of the Law
Enforcement League to take a copy of
the names on the saloon document, and
prepare a card index of every sigma
ture the petition contains. AS soon as
ahat work is fairly under way appli-
cations for Withdrawals of names will
be sought by representatives of the
league, which is only forerunner of
numerous legal questions that will be
raised in, an effort to puncture the
document in a vulnerable spot and
prepare for 1t the same fate that fell
to the petition year ago, which was
declared insufficient by Judge Boil
fingers decision.
On the other hand the managers of
the petition express absolute confidence
in its legality and feel that the surplus
of lat names is amply sufficient, de-
claring that few will be removed thru
error, or improper signatures, giving
emphasis ito that particular phase by
d sententious reference to the expert
ences year ago, when so many names
We're taken off thru a failure to comply
strictly to the law governing that point.
Meeting Called Quickly.
Within three hours after the petit
ton had been filed a meeting of the
ministerial association was called, and
the proposition freely discussed. tho
nothing of a definite character was
decided upon. Yesterday morning the
ministerial association held another
meeting at the Y. NJ. C. A. and coun-
ter petition will be put in circulation

drawals Will be put in circulation

Withdrawals will be sought in a few

plans of the Law Enforcement League

THE SURFACE MOVEMENT.

AS there is now woman suffrage
| amendment to the constitution fo1
| consideration, news Of the movement
in other states is Of particular inter
est at this time. One of the most
notable events in it's history has just
occurred in Illinois. On Tuesday of
this week special train carried a
thousand women into Springfield, the
state capitol, to interview the mem
bers of the legislature and urge the
passage of woman suffrage bills. The
train started from Chicago, bearing
many hundreds Of women, and at sta
tions along the way delegations of
women from other cities were taken
on board. These women were among
the best and most influential women
Of the state. At several Of the prin-
ciple towns half hour stops were
made and suffrage speeches from the
rear platform were made to audiences
previously assembled by women's
clubs and suffrage societies who re-
quested this opportunity to hear Mrs.
Chas. Henrotin, Miss Jane Adams,
Mrs. McCulloch and others of the
many brilliant women who made the
addresses. The train was conspicu-
ously decorated with side banners.
bearing the motto: "votes for women. y
There are three woman suffrage
measures before the legislature. One
is for the amendment to the constitu-
ton which if passed will allow women
complete suffrage rights throughout
Illinois. The second in value is al
lowing women municipal and town
ship suffrage throughout the state
The third is the Chicago municipal
suffrage bill which would give only
Chicago women the right to vote at
municipal elections. The public
women of Chicago are determined to
secure the passage of their bill if the
others fail to pass. Women generally
and especially those who attempt to
do civic work begin to realize the
power and value of vote. Let
us hope that South Dakota women
will become voters while our state is
young and in it's formative period.
