The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1912-04-19

@ recount the story OF the legislative primary
campaign just past would be to make fascinating
narrative 1t without question the most PRACTICAL
businesske thorough, and intensely interesting fight
that the AntSaloon League of Illinois has gone
through. Starting with the assumption that if we
could get the dry vote to the polls the victory would
be won we organized for that purpose. How we sue
ceeded is told in another article in this paper.
The Fight in Chicago.
It is we'll known to the people of the state that in
the last legislature only Six out of fftyseven repre-
sentatve in Cook county voted for the county option
bill In other words Cook county defeated county local
option The of the state stood practically two to
in favor Of the of the county local option
bill The minority representation system of selecting
representatives makes it impossible for the country
part Of the state to get what it wants without help
from Chicago; and SO we determined to get from
Chicago what was necessary, and so far as we could
what were entitled to in the way of temperance
representation in the Fortyseventh General Assembly,
The great fight put up in Chicago and great
victory More than twice many county
option have been nominated from Cook county
to the Forty-eighth General Assembly as
mated for the last legislature
Seventh District
In the Seventh district we did not have single
county option vote the last time. We shall have
in the next legislature, for Hon. John M. Curran, of
Wnnetka has been nominated and will be elected
Mr.. Curran was high in the VOTE and stood open
ly for county option His repudated the
ment that the liquor interests overwhelmingly in
the ma orty in that district. Without doubt Mr..
Persons defeat may be laid largely to the fact that
he voted against county option in the last legislature
Although he stood committed to county option in this
campaign the people would not rally to his support
Mr.. Curran and Mr.. Pierson received enough votes
together if they had been evenly divided nominate
county option Republicans in that district.
So the Seventh district shows gain of county
option vote
The Eleventh District.
Here most spectacular fight In the last
legislature all three legislators liquor This is
the Englewood district We told by politicians
and others that it would be impossible to nominate
openly county option platform. We did not
believe it and proceeded Immediately to demonstrate

stands straight great moral Issue will not be
deserted by the moral element
The Nineteenth Senatorial District
This has become historic district 1t is the
Frank G Smith district, made famous by Mr. Smiths
victory two years ago as an independent candidate.
1t Will be remembered that local option candidate
was defeated at the primary in 1910 because of the
light vote, and that later independent was put
up IN the person OF Rev. Frank G. Smith, and he was
overwhelmingly elected Lots of people said it was
an accident and that it could be done in any other
district OF Chicago, and could be done in that dis
trct again. We have demonstrated the fasv of these
assertions tor Mr.. Eugene Worthing stood openly for
county option and nominated by a margin of 600
votes.
The Twenty-third Senatorial District
Mr.. George Miller, who voted for the county op-
ton bill III the last legislature received the highest vote
OF all the candidates in the Twenty third district and
without question will be elected to the next general
assembly, This is another demonstration of what the

The Twenty-nnth Senatorial District
Here of the remarkable victories of the
cook county campaign The Twenty ninth district
is considered of the most hopeless from the stand
point OF local option temperance. No more openly
aVowed county option candidate could have been
selected than Rev. Elmer Williams The verv fact
that he is Methodist minister advertises him as
county option In that district which has been
heretofore considered hopeless although he was COM

At this writing the result in the Eighth senatorial
district is in doubt If it had not been for the division
OF the dry vote among three candidates without any

overwhelming majority. We warned the candidates
and the people that here lay the danger. Mr. Covey
and Mr.. Jackson both drew heavily from Mr. Ander-

Mr.. Anderson is nominated or not We deeply deplore
such mistakes as this, and regret that any one should
