THE QUESTION OF PROHIBITION
WAS DEFEATED IN A MLENNAN
COUNTY ELECTION.
There Ia "a Technical Legal Point
Involved, Caused by the
Change in the Luw.

Waco, Texas, March "A local option
election was held in the voting precincts
of Mart, Battle and Riesel, the, southeast
quarter OF McLennan county yesterday, re-
sultng in the defeat of prohibition by
vote Of 2S9 against and 100 for
The result changes the conditions in the
territory named It having voted some
years ago for prohibition and has since
been dry"
There Is a question Of law involved in
the action OF the commissioners court sub
hitting the question to vote. The last
election which voted whisky out, was held
some years ago under the law which pro-
vided that the commissioners court could
establish arbitrarily the boundaries OF the
territory desiring to hold an election, re-
CARELESS of the regular political divisions
such as justice precincts, voting precincts,
school districts. etc. In accordance with
their powers delegated by this law the
county commissioners court ordered an
election IN the voting precincts named and
prohibition carried. Since that time the
| law giving the commissioners the power
TO establish arbitrary boundaries has been
repealed and new law enacted, but IN
| the new law the voting precincts was not
mentioned as territory In which local OPP
ton elections might be held hence the
| legal point involved. According to re-
cent decision OF the higher court. however,
q subdivision voting whisky in must vote

law and they have every reason 10 be.
