been bridged over in such a manner
as to bring practically solid support
to the entire state ticket.
Oyertures were made by both stall

Discharged Helena Policemen Win
Their Case


The Montana metropolitan police
law was declared unconstitutional by
Judge Stewart at BoZeman who heard
arguments in the suit of four dis
charged Helena policemen against the

The officers were discharged by the
city in pursuing policy of retrench-

DO BLANK VOTES COUNTY

Arguments have just been concluded
in Sioux Falls before Judge Frank B.
Smith of Mitchell, sitting for Judge
Jones Of the state circuit court in an
important case, which Is an outgrowth
OF the now celebrated saloon license
case arising at Beresford.
The case involves the question OF
what constitutes a majority In an cleo
ton. The case is somewhat different
from the other cases decided by the
state supreme court, in that it is a
question of blank ballots being count
ed in estimating the total vote, instead
Of the question of the necessity of
majority Of all the votes cast at the
election, which was involved in tho
other cases.
At the late municipal election at
Beresford 296 persons presented them
selves to vote on the liquor question.
Four of them voted blank ballots, 14s
voted for license, and LA against
license.
On June l Judge Jones rendered a
decision in which he held in substance
that license had carried and the city
Of Beresford, following this decision,
issued permits to four applicants for
saloon licenses, who filed the neces-
sary bonds, which were approved by
