New PoInt in Licensc NntIne.

SIOUX FALLS S. D., May 3.-(Speoial)-
The courts may be called upon to determ-
inc a novel point which has just been raised
at Bcresford in reference to what consti-
tutes a mojority vote when the question of
granting licenses for saloons is voted upon.
At the recent annual municipal election
at Bercsford 14S votes were cast in favor
of licenses, while 1H votes were cast against
the proposition. This on the face of 1t is
a majority of four votes i'm favor OF Ii
cense. Further investigation proves. how
ever, that while the total vote on the liquor
question amounted to 292 votes and those
cast for the office of mayor aggregated
2SS votes, there were registered on the poll
books a total of 296 votes.
The state law governing the granting Of
licenses for saloons states that where a ma
jority of voters at a regularly called mu-
nicipal election shall declare in favor of
license, the city or town council shall grant
the license. II has been held in court de-
cisons that II a majority is not secured
in favor of license the town or city in
which the vote is taken goes dry"

Senator Bailey with the Waters-Pierce Oil
company and other concerns before the
state legislature, which resulted in the dis
charge of the committee of the senate be-
fore a decision was reached and Senator
Bailey being exonerated py the lower

carries approval or disapproval of the sena-
tor by the voters of the state. In a speech

been this speech, I'm which he also declared
that Eone of his opponents should attend

William Jennings Bryan declined the

Christian party, which held It's national
convention here last week. 1t has devel
oped since the convention that Mr.. Bryan
was sounded by letter as to,whether or not
he would accept nomination at the hands
of the party. Evidently 1t looked like
thorny crown to Mr. Bryan, for he de-
clined the tender. and the convention nom
mated Rev. Daniel Braxton Turney of De-
catur III. Two interesting letters from Mr..
Bryan to w r. Benkert national chair
man of the United Christian party, were
read to the convention, as follows:

In response to a subsequent letter MT
Bryan wrote:
