No Liquor Fight on.-Local option
fights are expected to be precipitated
in many towns and cities of Illinois
again this spring by the filing of Pc
titions asking that the question be
submitted at April elections. Circu-
lation of petitions in the various mu-
inequalities in which the saloon will
be an issue is practically at an end,
for tomorrow is the last day for fill
ing of such papers. The fact that
only a few hours remain for the fl
ing of petitions makes it certain that
Moline will not be among the cities
in which local option will be sub
mitted for a vote this year.
