TO MAKE CHICAGO DRY.
A Big Anti-SaIoon Campaign Begins
This Week.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-The opening eff
forts in the campaign to make Chicago
dry" through a local option vote at
The April election will be begun this
week. The saloon question will be
brought to the front as an exceedingly
live issue, and a number of noted
speakers have been engaged to ham,
mer the temperance doctrine into the
minds of Chicago voters.
Twenty mass meetings in various
parts of the city, with Ex-Governor j.
Frank Hanly of Indiana and Seaborn
Wright, for twenty-five years active
in the Georgia legislature, as the prin-
cipal speakers, have been arranged for
the week.
James X. Shields, superintendent of
the Illinois Anti-Saloon league, who is
at the head of the movement to place
the saloon question on the ballot next
spring, announced today that "no-li-
cense" petitions have been put into
the hands of 500 workers, who will de-
vote their spare moments between now
and February l to getting signatures
Mr.. Shields is certain that the re-
quired $4,000 signatures will be OBJ
tanned and that, for the first time in
the history of the city, the prohibition
forces will be able to force a vote on
whether or not Chicago shall have sa
| looms.
The petition must be filed with the
election commissioners by February
1. If the temperance workers achieve
their goal February and March will
witness one of the most bitter contests
over the saloon on record. The saloor
men say it is the height of absurdity
to say that Chicago will ever be voted
dry, but with the uncertainty due tC
the fact that the proposition has never
been placed before the electors they
do not intend to take any chances.
The United Societies for Local Self
Government already is planning Sc
ries of mass meetings in differen
parts of the city to defeat the no-li
cense movement.
