tain signers of tho petitions for license
III these two cases had Withdrawn their

who had expressed a willingness Tor the

their names, stating that In some cases
ministers of tho gospel had threatened
to expel members Of thelr churches VINO
had signed license petitions unless theis
names were withdrawn from such petit

dalton. and withdrawal of names from

not evidence that q majority Of voters

viously obtained.

to change his opinion. and refused both
