HOW DULUTH VOTED DRY
w. L. SMITHIEs

The recent victory of the 'dry''
forces in Duluth, where, by a MAORI
ty of 1913, it was decided at a special
election to abolish saloons on July
lst, 1917, is interesting because of the
different conditions from those which
ordinarily exist.
Here is a city of about one hundred
thousand, an industrial center, a lake
port, regarded by some as being on
the frontier, voluntarily voting itself
"dry." The campaign and ELECTION
were not a part Of a statewide fight
for prohibition, nor included in a
county option battle, hut for an initi-
ated ordinance passed by the people.
Under the city charter of Duluth, an
ordinance may be initiated, if a Pc
tition containing the signatures of not
less than twenty per cent Of the voters
who voted at the preceding municipal
election, is presented to the city COM
mission. After veritication of the
signatures by the city clerk, the com
mission must either pass the ordin-
ance in its entirety, or submit it to
the voters at u special election. Any
ordinance initiated by the people, can
be amended Or repealed only by Il
vote of the people.
Late in March, Il handful of inter-
ested citizens discussed the ADVISABLE
ty of initiating an ordinance prohibits
ing the sale Of intoxicating liquor
within the city limits Of Duluth. Be-
cause of the existing sentiment, and
that the neighboring city of Superior,
Wis, was in the midst of a campaign
(which proved successfully, it was de-
cided that the time vas opportune.
A representative committee was
quickly organized; the petition was
prepared; and in one week from the
time the blanks we're received from the
printers. the petition was filed in the
Office of the city clerk, with 5,2lO sig
natures-forty per cent of the number
OF people who voted at the preceding
election. The heartiness OF response
is shown in the fact that with no can

separate petitions were included, rep

city; and all the workers were secured
and practically all the signatures OBJ

The city commissioners called the
election and the campaign began in
earnest. The dry ordinance commit
tee represented a perfect combination,
and in it's work, a union of effort, of
the forces which stand for advance
and uplift. Business and profession

of the committee included a Protestant
Episcopal bishop, another Protestant
minister, bricklayers, grain men, lum-
Der dealers, attorneys, painters, real
estate men. statesmen, agents, engin'
GERS, and department heads in whole

A Young Mems Voters League did
good work. A precinct organization
of voters. and a similar organization
Of women, was arranged for every
voting precinct. These organizations
were designed to reach every voter
with the propaganda of the campaign;
block captains we're appointed, whose
duty it IA to learn the attitude OF
every voter residing in the captain $
block. Out of school hours, Boy
Scouts were on hand for messenger
service. Dry leagues we're organized
among the boys in each Of the high
schools. A novelty of the campaign
was a Trades Union Dry League,
which rendered very effective service
in the ranks of labor. Volunteer
workers by the hundreds came from
churches, young: peoples societies
