the territory to the city of Moline

not carry, after all. This is partic-
ulary discouraging, from the fact
that ii was at first considered that
the law could be construed in a ia
vorable manner. because a majority
of those expressing a preference had
been favorable. Now it is held that
the proposition. to make it carry.
should have received ma iority of all
