PETITION 1 F|L!EDlE
WITH GOVERNOR
Total Number of Signatures
for Statewide Election
is 69,936.
HALF OF TOTAL VOTE
Election For or Against Prohibition
September 22-Both Sides Confi-
( dent of Success. b

Richmond, July 14-Secretary OF
the Commonwealth B. o. James this
morning certified to Governor Henry
c. Stuart that G9,936 qualified voters
have petitioned for the holding of ar
election on the question of State
wide prohibition, in accordance with
the terms of what is known as the
enabling act. Certificates from court
clerks all over the State poured into
the Office of the secretary yesterday
the last day under the act for the re,
ceipt of such petitions. Under the
law the Governor has ten days In
which to consider the petition, and In
which time any parties desiring to
question it's accuracy may come for
ward. He will then call the election
for SEPTEMBER %, and If majority
of the voters of the State are for
prohibition at that time, the State is
to go dry on and after November l,
1916.
There are no exact figures avail
able as to the total qualified vote in
Virginia at this time, but it is be-
lieved to be close to 10000. 1t will
be seen therefore that nearly one
half of the entire electorate has join
ed in petioning for the Statewide
election. While no direct statements
were issued by either side last night,
both preferring to await the formal
presentation OF the certificate to the
Governor, the figures were variously
construed. Anti saloon leaders are
confident that by no means all who
will vote dry have been secured as
signers of petitions, and as the pc
titions were circulated by dry men
exclusively, it is contended that all
signers may be counted for that side.
Officers of TIE Anti Saloon League
of Virginia would venture no figures,
but other dry leaders held that out
of vote cf 100000 the dry side
should poll from 10000 to 100000.
On the other hand, the leaders of
the fight for local option as the
States method of regulating the liq-
uor situation are not disposed to
concede that all Of the signers will
vote dry. There are many, they
claim, who would sign a petition and
have an election to settle a question
that has been agitating Virginia for
years, but when the election comes
expect to vote for local option, just
as there we're men in the General As
sembly who voted for the enabling
act, because they desired to let the
people Of the State vote on the issue,
but who expect to cast their perso-
nal votes against Statewide prohibi-
tion assert that the dry side has put
its best foot foremost-that the Pc
titions represent approximately its
maximum strength, and that in an
election in which from 100000 to
100000 votes are cast, the local op-
tion side will have the advantage.
Tomorrow will be observed by men,
bers of the Woman's Prohibition
League of America as day of fast
ing and prayer for State. wide pro-
hibition, and services will be conduct
ed by the different leagues through
out the State.

The anniversary sale now being
