LICENSE QUESTION WILL
 COME UP FOR VOTE NOV. 8
No-License Committee Secures Signatures of Large Number
 of Voters on Application

This city is going to vote on the l- eense question at the next election. The no-license committee of which Jeremiah Holmes is treasurer filed T petitions with the town clerk -yester- day requesting the city government to hold an election on the license question. All told there are 1 845 names of different voters upon the pc tltions. It used to be the law that a vote upon the license question would be held upon the petition of 25 cleo tors The last legislature made law requiring the petition to carry the names of 10 per cent. of the voters This city Cast 17.280 votes last year. It was quite a hustle for Secretary Holmes and his committee to get all the names required. One of the com mittee said last night, I've are going te roll up a big vote for no license be- cause at the start we have got every signer of the big petition interested.
 Any movement in Bridgeport with nearly 2,0G0 people back of it at the start is going to cut ice. We certain " have more support than we had when we were required to have only 25 votes The liquor interests who had the law changed have made us hus- tie and our hustling has made us stronger am glad they changed the law
