FIGHT BY CHICAGO
DRYS' IS FAILURE
PETITION SUBMITTED LACKING
IN SIGNATURES
NAMES OF MANY VOTERS NOT
REGISTERED STRICKEN OFF
Prohibition Forces Decide Time Is
Too Short to Take Question
Into Contradiction
Occurs April 5

CHICAGO March 25.-Chicago has
question at the election April 5, ac-
cording to a decision by the election
commissioners tonight.
The commissioners decided the petit
tion offered by the "drys" to have the
question. "Shall this city become anti
saloon territory?" put on the ballots
lacked sufficient signatures.
The "wets" had filed d complaint as
sorting that out of the $4,000 names
26,12S were those of persons not regis
tered. The commission sustained this
charge after an investigation, and the
prohibition forces tonight declared too
little time interviewed between now and
election to permit of court action to
have the question submitted to the
voters.
This decision nullifes the work of
hundreds of prohibition workers, in
Guiding many women, who for weeks
stood in the downtown streets. on ele-
waited train platforms and in public
buildings seeking signatures to the pc
tition.
According to the "drys' each man
was asked whether he was a regis
tered voter before he was allowed to
sign.
A. e. Wilson. state chairman of the
prohibitionists, announced petitions
will be circulated tomorrow to have
the question of statewide prohibition
submitted to the ovters. He also de-
clared the "drys" next year would sue
coed in having the question voted upon
in Chicago.
