Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 March 1910 — FRAUD IN PETITION [ARTICLE]

FRAUD IN PETITION

Charged By the “Wets” In Chicago Anti-Saloon Crusade. It now looks probable that the question “Shall This City Become Prohibition Territory” will not go on the ballots in the Chicago election of April 7. Attorneys for*' the “wets” filed a brief last Friday in which they charge the grossest frauds in obtaining signatures to the petition, claiming that 35,510 names thereto are ficticious, which if true means that the petition will fall 38 per cent short of being sufficient to put the question to a vote.
