Election-Record Vote Ex-

When the office Of the secretary of
the Commonwealth closed yesterday
afternoon there had been received at
the office petitions for the Statewide
election in September that showed d
total number Of 48,52t names actually
certified to the secretary by the clerks
Of the various courts.
This number represents a great In
fiux Of petitions to the office all day
and for the past several days. It was
stated that many more were expected
in. and that another count will be
made when It is reasonably sure that
most of the petitions now out have
been received.
This number Of petitioners. In an
ordinary election. would be more
than sufficient TO secure a majority
and win the election. The number
Of qualified voters who took part in
the last election. figured or the basis
that one fourth. $4,000. is necessary
to call the Statewide election, was
something over $4,000. The number
OF names already in the office OF the
secretary, II all were to vote the dry
ticket and no more voters were TO
take part in the election than voted
last time would give substantial ma
jority for the prohibition cause.
Record Vote Expected
1t is safe 10 say that a very much
larger number of voters will take
part In the September election than
in any election in recent years. and
while there Is already a clear ma tor-
ity of the usual vote on record. as
at least desiring the election, 1t Is
equally certain that an unusually
large vote will be polied However
