CANVASSERS BUSY
WITH PETITION
Petitions fer Operating Of Saloons in
Crawford County Arc Now
Being Circulated.
CONSENT Will. PROBABLY CARRY
Those Citizens Opposed to Saloons
Are Working Hard for the De-
feat Of the Petitions.

The saloons in the county are en-
gagged in making a canvass to secure
tho requisite number Of names to a
petition to legaliZe their operation for
the next five years. Those opposed
to the open saloon are making every
effort to prevent people signing the
petition to enable the saloons to Op-
eratC according TO law. In order to
win out there must be at least IS per
cent of the voters OF the county vot-
ing at the last general election who
sign the petition and at least so per
cent Of the voters in the towns OF the
county where a permit is sought to
conduct 9 saloon.
A considerable amount of interest
is being shown and some evidence of
bad temper disclosed. Those who
favor the open saloon cannot under
stand why people should refuse to sign
the petition. Those who are against
the open saloon have little patience
with anybody who signs. As a result,
all sorts OF charges are made against
citizens Of the county because they
dllsail IuSlDpINCS Nltil tHt SIut VI tuS
other or refuse to take sides at all.
The newspapers are naturally sought
after to air the views of tic two fac
tions aud bccarse they do not plunge
into the storm center and because they
refuse to publish all matters present
ed they are abused for the course
they pursue. 1t is one of the rules OF
newspapers to decline all communica-
tions not signed by the authors and
we think this rule is generally known
by people who are familiar with the
operation OF newspapers. This rule
has not been observed by those who
have offered arguments to tho news
papers for and against signing the pc
tition.
Communications offered have been
either signed simply Committee" or
some alleged ureaiiization of the coun-
ty. We doubt if the people who offer
the arguments would agree to sign
their names ,ani have them published,
preferring to have the responsibility
all thrown on the newspapers. This
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1914-12-02

does not mean that all communications
presented TO newspapers and properly
signed are published The right OF
censorship must be reserved by the
newspapers OF else it becomes simply
medium for everybody airing their
opinions on all subjects up for aglta-
ton.
The canvass so far disclOses that in
some precincts almost 100 per cent oil
the voters are signing the petition.
while in others a bare majority and
even less is apparently secured. The
county outside of the towns is sup
porting the petitions with more Gil
thusiaSm than in the towns. DeniSon,
it was thought at one time, might fail
to secure the So pei cent required. but
the indications are that 9. somewhat
decided majority OF the voters in the
city will sign the petition. kiron will
fail to get the required majority, and
it may be that Dow City, on account
of local conditions, maiy fail Manil-
Ia, where the petition failed to carry
tho last time, will, it is said, show a
majority for the saloon.
The opposition is on the alert to
prevent people signing and every ef'
fort is being made to induce people
who have signed to withdraw their
names This is g. privilege accorded
people who sign, but it is like other
petitions where this privilege is ac-
corded by law, a small per cent OF
people are inclined to change their
mind.
We understand that gentleman
from Sioux City is canvassing the
county against the petition and that
| he is having good audiences where he
speaks. Tho probabilities arc. how
ever. that a larger number of the vot
ers will sign the petition in the conn-
| ty than on any previous occasion. II
is difficult to ascertain tho exact trut!
in the premises in view OF the fact
that so many conflicting rumorS are
ancat as to what is being done.
