THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, APR IE 4, 1910. ILLINOIS LIQUOR WM WRAPS STATE 240 Cities and Towns, 101 "Wet" and 139 "Dry," Will Vote Tomorrow. FIGHT WORST SIMCE 1903 AY her Saloons Lost in Profal Land slide Battle Is Fierce Anti Ucen.e Campaigners Brisk. "Billy" Sunday Is Leader. CHICAGO. April 3, (Special.) Con tests oVer the "wet or dry" Issue, rivaling- in bitterness the contest of two years ago, when nearly 1000 towns banished saloons, will be foug-ht to a conclusion Tuesday in 240 cities and villages in Illinois. Of the places vot ing, 101 now have saloons, while 139 are under a "dry" regime. The fiercest battles are in the cities where the "wets" are fighting- to re gain ground lost in the 1908 Prohibi tion landslide. Spectacular struggles of this sort are raging in such cities as Rockford, Decatur, Gales burg, De kalb, Dixon, Pontiac. Clinton, Taylor vllle. Champaign, Vandalia, Paris and Mattoon. 4lrysf Very Active. In addition to putting up a valiant defense in the "dry" cities, the anti saloon crusaders are keeping their op ponents busy In "wet" territory. Un der the leadership of Billy" Sunday they have conducted a whirlwind cam paign in Danville and have an even chance to rout the saloon forces in Speaker Cannon's home city. Other "wet" strongholds which are being bombarded include Springfield, Bloomington, Elgin, Jollet, Aurora, Waukegan, Kreeport, Monmouth, Lin coln, Rook Island and Moline. The "drys" are most hopeful in Blooming ton. Elgin and Monmouth. They believe they will add several more counties to the 39 already en tirely "dry." If Danville is captured. Vermilion County would be added to the list; if Bloomington votes out the saloons, McLean County will be made Prohibition territory; if Bushnell suc cumbs to' the attack of the "drys," McDonough County will be added, and if Nw Canton is made "dry," as is likely, Pike County will Join the cold water ranks. "Wets" Have Cluwce. The "wets," on the other hand, have an opportunity to regain several of the 89 counties "dry" at present. A "wet" triumph In Rockford would mean that Winnebago County would no longer be in the "select" list; a return of saloons to Gales burg would reclaim Knox County, and a victory In Champaign would put Champaign County back on the "wet" list. The local option issue has been raised in fully 70 of the 102 counties in the state. Three-fourths of the counties where no towns are voting on the proposition are so thoroughly "dry" that the saloon men have not thought it worth while to sek entrance. It is Extraordinary Ever "We are going to give you an opportunrty to prove to yourself the merits of the E.

STORE ROWE & MARTIN SKIDMORE DRUG CO. ALBERT BERNI it,. B estimated that 75 or 100 towns where saloons were voted out two years ago have no contest this Spring. A significant feature of this year's contests is the fact that they are be ing fought for the most part in the centers of population. The rural vote is not the factor that It was two years ago. The agitation over the "wet or dry" issue in Chicago is admitted by both sides to . have added to the intensity of the down-state battles. MICHIGAN FIGHT ON" OPTION" Elections Today Sees Liquor Ques- tkm Greatest Issue. DETROIT. Mich., April 3. (Special.) While most of the cities in Michigan will elect Mayors and other city offi cials April 4, the local option campaign entirely overshadows the municipal elections. In the counties which will vote on the liquor question, the two campaigns are generally entertained, the candidates for Mayor being of either the wet or dry party.' For this reason the Mayoralty fights are hotter than they have been in many years. ' Twenty-nine counties in the state are now dry. Ten of these will vote again on the question Monday, the liquor in terests having obtained enough signa tures to petitions to force a resubmis sion of the issue. Twenty-five countless will vote on the question for the first ime. Both the Anti-Saloon League and the Michigan State Brewers' Association have speak ers of National prominence stumping the state. The drys openly avow that if victorious in a majority o'f the coun ties thir. Spring, the campaign next year will be for a state-wide prohibi tion. NO LOCAi OPTION FIGHTS ON Missouri's Prohibitionists Have Vot ed Out Saloons in 7 0 Counties. ST. LOL'IS, Mo., April 3. (Special.) There will be no municipal election in St. Louis this year. The chief interest is in the elections at Kansas City and St. Joseph. In none of the Missouri municipal elections will the question of local option be voted upon. Having voted out alt the saloons in 70 of Missouri's 114 counties and also voted them out of ISf the remainder with the exception oWthe large cities,, the temperance organizations have se cured a sufficient number of signa tures to force a vote at the general election next November, for or against an amendment to the Constitution pro viding for state-wide prohibition. Many of the political leaders are dodging the issue, but the temperance leaders have questioned the candidates to be voted upon for municipal offices throughout the state, and in this way the elections will have an effect on the prohibition amendment issue.

One Coupon Will Be Accepted From Each a casual one and occurred on a railroad train. , -v It was last New Tear's day," eaid Miss Gazzam, "and I was traveling home from Philadelphia to. Corn wall -on-Hudson, in the afternoon, and soon after seating myself in the car observed a young man with a very fine countenance and striking appearance, who occupied an Inverted seat some distance further up the aisle. "I have since realized that his face appealed to me In a way that no one else's has ever done before or since, and I now believe that he possesses very rare qualities of character, includ ing everything which I could esteem most highly and love most tenderly in man hood. Even then the thought occurred to me that a letter such as I had received in the F"all might have originated in the heart of this man. Since then my imag ination has come to build its brightest hopes upon the theory that the young man whom I saw on the train was the writer of the precious letter which has recently traveled several thousand miles in my handbag as my constant companion. Letter Makes Her Certain. "At the time I saw the young man in the train I had another image strongly impressed upon my brain, so I did not feel quite free to admire bim unreserv edly. Shortly after this I received a let ter from St. Louis signed. The Power of Love Forever.' He said that the writer had projected his or her astral soul to find my affinity and had found him to be a young- man, the description of whom tallied exactly with that of the man I had seen on the 'train. The letter went -on to state that this man could still be found if the proper effort were made, and that my happiness depended entirely upon uniting with him in mar riage, and that my happiness could only be found through him. "I have consented publfely to pro claim this sacred secret only because I hope that in so doing Z may be able sooner or later to obtain an interview with the man for whose presence my soul hungers, or at least to get to the bottom of the mystery, which at present Is the most important of my life, upon which all my thoughts are focused and my best efforts employed. He Must Be Found. "I seem to bs like a woman - standing on the edge of a chasm and shrinking back in hesitation and reluctance. My womanhood stands aghast at my own boldness, and yet applauds what may be a necessary means by which to obtain the one man for whose priceless com panionship I would, if necessary, so joy ously renounce every earthly possession." Miss Gazzam's first attempt in the af finity business proved disastrous. In Los Angeles she went to an astrologer named Clark one day, who called himself "Pro fessor Niblo." In him she thought she found her soul-mate. Clarks wife, how ever, held views of her own on the af finity proposition, and brought suit against Miss Gazzam for $150,000. She got $25,000 and Miss Gazzam sadly concluded Clark had been deceiving her. The publicity brought her thousands of letters, however, some of which she has opened, and some she says she will never open. She declares she will know at once if the right man has been found, and has no fears that she will be mistaken an other time.
