that the local option election, which

declared null and void. The election

The contestants allege that the cleo
tion was unduly ordered. that nearly
10 per cent. OF the votes cast by men
who had not paid their poll-taxes six
months in advance OF the election. They
allege that the r.ward law passed by

requirement that poll-taxes be paid
six months prior to the election, Is
Unconstitutional and In conflict with
