Harlan, Dec. S.-The saloon people
have met disappointment in this county
after a long, hard campaign to secure
the consent Of Shelby county citizens
for the opening of mulct saloons Since
election day hard work has been done.
The crusade has come to a close, with
a total of 2,540 signatures, not deduct
ing withdrawals nor questioning the
validity Of any signatures. The number
required is 1850. The county attor-
neys think that almost thousand
signatures secured on election day are
invalid under the statute, or at least
that they can not be counted with the
names secured since the election. Be-
sides there are probably some sigma
lures that have been duplicated. The
present campaign is the third that mas
failed in Shelby county.
