Nearly a Hundred Names Secured in Ore Manufacturing Plant. The petition which ‘has been In cir- culation during the past few weeks asking fer a right to vote on the no- license question was filed by the pro- hibitionists w th the town clerk on Monday. The petitlon was signed by a large-number of prominent voters in the town and the number cf signatures on the paper greatly exceeded the re- quired number. Those who have signed the petition represent the largest business |inter- ests in ‘he town, including theé mer- cantile business and the manufactur- ing end. Wich hardly an exception, the RQea<s of the big munufacturing plants in the city put down their names, cayinz that it was for the good of their business to have the town go no-license. In one plant nearly a hun- dred names were secured and everyone expressed himself as ready and willing to sign the petition. The cimpaign against the liguor trafic will start immediately with shop and strcet taiks and several mass meetings have been arranged at which many prominent men will speak. Prominent members of the prohibition party state that the public opinion is !tending toward prohibition and with the law prohibiting the manufacture of whiskey in effect a great number who have been indifferent to the liquor question realize that the Urited: States government disapproves of the liquor traffic and so will come forth on Cet. 1 and vote No. The liquor fight In this city will be a close one and according to com- parisons made with the vote eight vears ago, when no-license was voted upon, shiow that the prohitition party will only have to swing about 230 votes to their side to win. When the question came to vote tne last time there wcre many, who were indifferent and did not vots. At thar time there was not the rational interest in the question, either. There were in 1909 only six dry states in the union, and now there are 26, or more than half. If the locsi situation has progressed in leeping with the national eituation the prohibition party feel corfident of a dry town after tie comin¥ election. CANNING DEMONSTRATION. Miss Nellie J.
