dry agents raided every saloon in the
VIGOROUSLY wet Iron county town,
came to naught when the grand jury

the search warrants used were illegal
and held that there was insufficient

their suit against the Northern Wis
.consin tobacco pool when Judge E.
A. Werner, Shawano, who sat in the

of the pool contended that the only

ton and contended they would be
driven out of business if the practice

Milwaukee voters on Tuesday, April
8, defeated the daylight saving ordi-
nance The vote was: For repeal,
94,530; against repeal, 24,258. Thus
the measure was repealed by a ma
jority of 1922. Almost $4,000 voters
expressed themselves on the daylight
saving issue, about 10000 more than
voted for school directors, showing
the interest aroused. The figures
show that the foes of the ordinance
carried twenty-five wards agains'
three for the daylight advocates. The
decision Of the electorate against day
light saving means that Milwaukee
will be back on standard time this
summer for the first time since 1920.
The city has been under daylight saw
ing time for four out of the last five
years. In 1913 and 1919 the clocks
were turned an hour ahead under
federal enactment While the vote in
favor of repeal and against the ordi-
nance was apparently decisive, many
advocates of the plan will argue that
the peculiar wording of the ques-
ton" Shall the Daylight Saving
Ordinance Be Repealed ?"-caused
many of those who favored the move
ment to vote Eyes" when they meant
mo" Reports from Sheboygan are
that the voters decided 8 to / for
standard time at referendum on
Tuesday Racine decided for Day
light Saving at referendum, a short
time ago.
