Not Clean Sweep.
1t was not 4 clean sweep for the
anti-saloon forces, and the general re-
suit was far from the optimistic fore
cast made by the dry leaders that the
first election in which the women
would have a chance to show what
they thought Of the liquor question
would be an Overwhelming victory FOL
the enemies of the saloons.
Springfield Women Vote "Wet."
The biggest surprise Of the day was
the vote In Springfield. "A majority OF
the women who voted at the state cap
ital voted with the '.wets," and Spring
field keeps its PIG saloons by a ma
jority of more than 1000.
The drys lost Rock Island and Mo.
line where they thought they had bet
ter than an even chance to win.
The story from the two cities is tina,
an eleventh hour agreement was
reached to close the saloons at II
o'clock each night, all day Sundays
ana to closely observe q more rigid
regulatory ordinance.
Bloomington and Decatur Dry.
Bloomington and Decatur were the
scenes OF the big dry victories. Eighty
saloons in Bloomington and sixty -four
In Decatur went by the board. Jolie,
was placed in the dry column.
Northern Illinois generally returned
victories for tho drys and the same was
true OF the central and eastern Illinois
towns.
Tho eriver towns and the old time
wet strongholds In the st. Louis terri
tory remained wet, the strength Of the
woman vote not being sufficient to dis
lodge the saloons in such cities as
Quincy and Alton.
Mining centers Go Dry.
The coal mining territory in south
ern Illinois went dry. Christopher, ons
OF the most important OF the coal min
Ing centers, with twenty saloons and
great foreign born population, went
against :he saloons BY 500.
Herrin another populous coal min
Ing town. showed an anti-saloon ma
jority of over 400.
The drys maintained their hold on
Rockford, but here the vets gave them
terrific surprise by turning out a
wet majority of the male vote. Tho
women saved the day FOR the saloon
opponents.
