ysf efss = PETITION IS '.
 CHALLENGED Question Raised as to Many Names PROTEST ON PROHIBITION Enough Names Protested to Cause Failure of Purpose.
 t. Work of Checklns the Protest sad Pe- tition Is Begun by Force in lonsce of Probate
 Judge.

Formal challenge of many names upon the petition for the call of pro- hibition election by Hon. U. B. Gaston, Judge Of the Probate Court os Mont gomery County. was made yesterday by members of the Committee organ ized to prevent the successful issue of a prohibition election effecting Mont gomery County. -a
 The number, of persons challenged could not be learned as the names of those upon the list of the counter or cheek list filed yesterday had not been arranged relatively to their beat and post0ftice addresses. but from other sources of information 1t was learned that sufficient per centage of peti- tianers had been challenged to nulIify the force of, the petition, If the chal- lenges are sustained.
 The protestation fiIed Yesterday was taken in charge by Judge Gastoh and Clerk John McDade, of the Probate Court who began checking 1t at once.
 The Committee representing tho men opposed to prohibition expressea- hope sanguineiy yesterday It Is believed that the number of names which will be checked off the list of petitioners for the election will be sufficient to vitiate the petition.
 In that event another petition would be filed. after which ten days would have to elapse before an election could be called The earliest date for an election might thus be after January I. leoS, and no matter what it's issue. could not possibly effect the prohlbi- ton of the sale of liquors in Mont gomery County before January 1, 1908.
