ton. Despite it's relative non impor-
lance in this respect it is made the

Debate Over Petition.

Debate Over Petition.
The matter reached white heat
when the Malvern people filed their pc
tition sealed and were met with pro-
test from the Glenwood interests who
contended that the law required that
the petition should be made public
property by being filed unsealed. The
difficulty was taken before the county
board where 1t was argued and dis
cussed for greater portion of the day
ending in an order from the board that
the petition should be filed with the
county auditor just as it was present
ed, to remain sealed until the meeting
of the board in June when the law
states the board shall meet and can
vass the petition and the remon-
strances.
Talk Of Mandamus.
The county auditor who obviously
wants to act within the law is In a
uuandary, and is being beseiged by ad-
herents of both sides of the controV-
ersy. The Glenwood people are not
vet satisfied that they were wrong IN
insisting that the petition should be
f,led unsealed and there is talk of an
action in mandamus to compel the aud
itor to open the petition to the puoiic.
The contest, however, has not reachea
this stage yet.
Laws Requirements.
The law in the matter requires that
the petition for a referendum shall Dc
filed sixty days before the June meet
ing of the board and the interests In
having a remonstrance filed have a
slight advantage, 1t is claimed, Dy
having until within ten days OF the
lime meeting in which to file the re-
monstrance.
The petition and remonstrances have
been in circulation about an equal
length of time, but If the Gleliwood
people succeed in having the petitlon
opened 1T will give them access to IL
for the purpose of copyingH the sigma
lures and would permit of campaign
directly upon those who had been
found TO have signed it, This Is what
the Malvern people are seeking to pre-
vent. A signer td the remons,rance'
tho he may have signed the petltlon'
nullifies his previous signature, pro-
viding the remonstrance is signed last.
Malvern People Jubilant.'
The Malvern people are exceedingly
iubilant, and while they have appar-
entity sworn each other to secrecy as to
the number of signatures which they
have secured to the petition. all declare
they have more than sufficient to re-
quire a submission Of the matter to a
vote.
The Glenwood people have still fifty
days upon which to work in the mat
ter, and some stirring times are antici-
pated.
