The circulation of the petitions for the initiation of an act to repeal the statewide prohibition law is being pushed by it's promoters. They are securing many signatures, bug doubt is expressed whether they will be able to secure the requisite number of a little less than eleven thousand names by July II, the last day on which the petition may be filed.
 The old-time leaders in the saloon fights of the past are not active in the movement, for most of them have gone into other lines of business which they find more remunerative and more respectable, and the others have moved from the state. The business men of the city, mary of whom favored licensed saloons. are opposed to a return to former condi- tions, declaring that their business is better and collections much larger than formerly. A strong appeal is being made to the negroes for their support of the movement and it is being given very generally. Paid workers and former bartenders are going about among the negroes urg- ing them to go out and circulate the petitions. and they are responding very generally.
 It is not believed that the money for the campaign is coming from Ar kansas, but that it is being furnished by the brewing interests of other states who are anxious to restore this state to their market. Some men who have heretofore been identified with the saloon propaganda are inter ested in the management of the cam paign, and they are sending the blank petitions to workers all over the state, that they may make a whirlwind cam paign and cleanup" in a few days, before any organized opposition can develop.
