for Moline opponents of the saloon
marks the termination, for another two
years at least, of a fight they have
waged since 1908 to place that city on
the dry list Two years ago they were
routed decisively, the city going wet
by a majority of 364 votes A total of
9,522 votes were cast in the 1914 cleo
ton. Yesterday total Of 1895 were
registered.
Outcome of the anti-saloon fight in
Moline was uncertain even at late
hour yesterday. The situation was IN
usual, inasmuch as both dry and wet
leaders conceded the opposition a good
chance to win. At noon reports from
saloons about the city were to the eff
feet that the wet forces were losing
hope. A prominent dry leader at 3 in
the afternoon spoke of having given
up hope of a victory Only when the
reports from the residential districts
were received telling of the heavy dry
vote cast by the women did it become
more or less of a certainty that Moline
was lost to the wet advocates.
Hampton Remains Dry.
Hampton township will remain dry
for another two years as result Of yes

VICTIM OF THEFT
Loses Hand Bag Containing S1S While
Voting In the Fourth Precinct
Yesterday.

A contemplate theft was COM
mitted in one of the voting booths
in the fourth precinct, Rock Island,
yesterday morning. A working girl
left her hand bag In the booth after
she had voted and returned soon af-
ter to find it gone. The bag con-
tanned $13 in cash and a $40 pair of
eye glasses. The young lady was the
third woman to vote and between
the time that she voted and discovered
her loss but five voters had Occupied
the booth so that there is some pos
siblity OF experimenting the thief.
Meanwhile if the person will return
or send the missing property TO the
voting place an investigation may
be avoided.

Justice OF the peace-L. A. POLAND.
Unofficial returns OF yesterdays
election in Rock Island township. to-
tailed early today, indicate that only
the official canvass by the election
board will determine who are elected
as assistant supervisors, but the
democrats are sure Of an even break
and perhaps three out of the four can
didates elected.
Confusion existed in several OF the
polling places after the counting OF
came from several districts, conflict
ing figures from other precincts and
the general result is that no two sets
| of figures on the unofficial returns
tally.
No question arises as to the definite
result that William Trefz, democrat,
is reelected supervisor. There is no
doubt that William Barth, republican
| is chosen town clerk. H. c. Hinrichs,
democrat, has snug plurality in all
! totals on the assessor vote. Waldo
! Schneider. republican, has fair
margin over Mrs. Lucy Medill for col
lector. L. A. POLAND, republican, is
elected justice of the peace over S. A.
LaVanway.
But in the race on assistant super
visors, the best obtainable results at
present, showing numerous discrep-
ancies, leave doubt as to all the sue
cessful candidates. Figures compiled
by The Argus at the various precinct
polling places last night, indicate that
| three democrats and one republican
were successful. Following are the
figures obtained on assistant super
visor, the four highest elected:

Believed Democratic Victory.

Early returns indicated a demo-
cratic victory complete, and republi-
can sources conceded triumph to their
polls had closed. Later returns
changed the aspect of the results and
as few of the tagging precincts COM
menced reporting late last night, no
doubt was left but that the race on
assistant supervisor would be per
haps the highest in the history of the
township.
Stories Of unusual occurrences be-
came circulated on the streets shortly
after the returns commenced coming
in. Although from the outward APP
pearances at the polls, the election
was the most quiet ever held in which
the local option question was an
issue. developments later indicated re
markable circumstances in some of the
precincts.
! In one precinct where there was a
heavy registration, los affidayits were
made. indicating that 105 persons not
registered on the poll books had been
sworn in and voted. In another pre-
! cinct more ballots were cast than
| there are names on the register OF
| actual votes cast.
| In one particular it was reported
that after counting the mems total,
and then the grand total, the womens
total was arrived at by subtracting
the mems total from the grand total.
