RumOrs of Petition on Bill Civ

NAMES OBTAINED READILY

Petitions are being circulated in
Bismarck as well as practically every
city and. town in the state roquest-
fng that the question Of the repeal OF
the states blue laws be left to a refer
9ndum vote Of the people. ..
The first petition to make its ap-
pearance in this city was placed III
The Harris & Co. store last night ana
in a very short time more than 50
signatures were attached. The same
readiness to obtain signatures to the
petition is reported from other cities
in the state and it is expected that
before the end of the week practl-
cally all of the 10000 signers required
will have been obtained.
Four Measures.
The petition provides that four
measures be submitted to vote or
the people of the state on the third
Tuesday in March.
The first measure provides Tor a
state athletic commission consisting
of ynree men appointed by the gov,
ernor to regulate boxing in the state,
issue and revoke licenses to clubs and
others conducting boxing, provide for
10 round bouts and penallzes prlncl'
pies in shams or fake fights.
Measure No. 2 provides for the, Ii
censing of the sale of cigarettes to
all but minors with $500 annual Ii
cense and penalties for selling to min
ors and violating the proposed law.
Sunday Baseball.
Sunday baseball is provided for in
the third measure on the petition
which provides for the amendment OF
chapter 923S compiled laws providing
for baseball when conducted in a
quiet and orderly manner SO, as not
to interfere with the peace, repose
and comfort of the community and
when played between I and O'Clock
in the afternoon, provided no games
are played within 500 feet OF any
church edifice.
In the fourth measure, the repeal OF
chapter 9232 is asked which prohibits
the opening of theatres on Sunday
FIERCE FIGHT EXPECTED
1t is expected that there will be a
fierce battle waged all over the state
BY the forces uphOlding the blue laws
to defeat the measure proposed. 1t i
freely predicted that there will be dif,
flculty in securing the necessary mum.
Der Of petitions to place the measures
before the people for decision, but the
final enactment of the proposal at q
referendum, election is matter for
conjecture.
The struggle is expected to center
around the last measure that repeating
the law closing theatres on Sundays
The licensing Of the sale of cigarettes
will probably meet stern opposition al
the hands of the w. G. T. U. which or
ganization is fathcring movement tc
prohibit the sale of the lowly "fag' al
