Seventeen saloons in Pulaski coun ty face extinction if the women tnrn out In sufficiently large numbers. Four towns are voting in this county, Mound City, having five saloons; Mounds, seven; Ulin, three, and Grand Chain, two. All four places have gone through an exciting campaign, with both sides claiming victory. The "drys" closed their campaign at Mound City last night with a mass meeting and a Vrass band. The "wets" have campaigned more quietly. The "drys" are confident of driving out three saloons at Thebes in Alexan der county. Equally confident predictions came from the "drys" in the precincts of Baldwin, Percy and Rockwood In Ran dolph county. Steeleville, in this coun ty, probably will remain "wet." Coul- terville, which already is without sa loons, probably will continue "dry." Women have taken an active interest in the campaign in the five Randolph county cities.
