ILLINOIS ELECTIONS
SALOON INTERESTS REPULSE AT
TACKS IN LARGER CITIES.
' Tucker Indictment Faulty.

In tht United States district court
here, Indicated beyond all question of
doubt that he considers the indictment
of H. H. Tucker or the Uncle Sam Oil
company faulty, hut dererred formal
action on the motion to qtiuFh the in
dictment. A third indictment against

"Uot More Than One Hundred Saloons
Voted Out of Business Flght'Unlque
!n Many Townships Cairo Keeps
Saloons,
"' Chicago. April 22. The saloon
forces were generally successful in
the forty or more towns and villages
of Illinois which voted on the local op
tion question. Definite figures are
lacking In many cases, but it seems
certain that not more than one hun
dred saloons were voted out of busi
ness. The larger communities airaosi
without exception retain their licensed
dramshops.. Cairo, the largest city In
which the question was an issue, gave
the saloons a majority of 3,352. The
principal exceptions to the general re
sult were Effingham, Thebes, Pluck
neyville and Napervllle. Some thirty-
five saloons lost their licenses In these
four cities.
In Cook county twelve of the vil
lages bordering Chicago balloted for
or against, the liquor Interests. In
onl one, however, was there a change
from previous conditions, Harrington
going "dry" by a small plurality. Ten
others voted to retain their saloons
and one decided not to admit the
dramshops.
The result in many of the towns is
puzzling. Some of these communities
. lie within townships which had al
ready gone contrarlly to the result of
the vote. Blue Island, a town of some
size just south of Chicago, and which
is located in two townships, one of
which is wet and the other dry, Itseir
voted wet. The supreme court or tho
state will be asked to adjudicate these
""''nino .uu Involving practica'iv
the snme facts iiclng already beluTL'

shire delegation to tho Republican na
tional convention nt Chicago were se
lected here at the state and Second

tained a resolution to the efTect that
"the real interests of the party and'
of the presidential candidate to be
nominated at Chicago will best be
served by the omission of instructions,
specific 01 Implied, In the form ofreso
lutions of preference." The platform
also favored an early revision of the
tariff and Indorsed President. Roose
velt. A resolution indorsing William
H. Tafl for president was tabled by a
rising vote, only twenty-five delegates
out of 763 vottnis for the resolution.
Leaders of the Tart movement in
the state, Including rormer Governor
Frank W. Rollins and' Winston Church
Ill, while expressing disappointment
over the outcome of the state conven
tion, stated after the proceedings wero
over that In their opinion five of the
six delegates chosen will vote for Sec
letary Tat't on the first ballot.
