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

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.
FARMERS TO GRIND GRAIN
Union Takes Steps to Buck Miller
Combine in Northwest.
WALLA WALLA, " Wash,, April 3..
(Special.) To break what they declare
is a combine of the millers of the
Northwest to keep down prices of
wheat and boost the price of flour, the
local Farmers' Union, at the regular
meeting yesterday, took definite steps
looking toward the erection of an im
mense flour mil to cost $200,000.
The plant will be operated by the
union only. The mill will be erected
near this city, and as the water power
will develop more power than neces
sary to run the mill, it has been de
cided to sel lelectricity also. Work on
the construction of the mill begins this
Summer.

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.

IDLEMAN TO BE DEFENDER
Rumor Has It He Will Represent V.
Cooper Morris in Trial.
In alal probability Attorney C. M. Idle
man will appear in the Circuit Court in
defense of AV. Cooper Morris, ex-cashier
of the defunct Oregon Trust & Savings
Bank, when the office of the District
Attorney shall determine to press the
charg-e of embezzlement now pending.
Mr. Idleman has been asked to under
take the case.
The transaction upon which the indict
ment is bapsd relates to the transfer of
telephone bonds from Morris and W. H.
Moore, at that time president of the in
stitution, in cancellation of notes said
to be valued at f90,000. It is sad by the
prosecution that the action was without
the sanction of the board of directors of
the bank, and tht such action brings it
within the statute relating to embezzle
ment. The date of the trial has not yet been
set. It will be necessary for the office
of the District Attorney so to arrange
