Twelve Counties Have
OuSted the Saloons
"DRY" YESTERDAY

Vevay, Ind, Feb. 3.-The seventeen
precincts in Switzerland county, COM
prising six townships, yesterday gave
majority of 90S against saloon Ii
cense. Not a single precinct in the
county was carried by the "wets"
The vote was 2,431 against license and
1867 for license, giving the majority
against the saloons 764. About 80
per cent of the full vote was cast.
The township majorities are as fol-
lows: jefferson, 15s York. III;
Peasants, 2O4; Cotton. 125; Posey,
rs; Craig, 175; total. 9OS.
The saloon men gave little or no at
tention to the fight. but closed their
places and apparently watched the
outcome quietly. Despite the appar-
ent inactivity of the saloon men, con-
siderable feeling had been worked up
prior to the election. The three re-

Report That TechnicaIity Was
Overlooked When Council
Appropriated for the Option
Election.
COMPLICATIONS WILL
BE AVOIDED BY BODY
Another Meeting Will Be Held
And the Appropriation Once
More Passed Upon-Meet
Next Week.

1t is declared by county of1clals
that the controversy regarding the ap.
preparation of the money to defray
the expense of the local option election
is not founded on facts. 1t is claimed
that the county council, when it ap-
propriated the money for the expense
of the election violated the law, but
the saloon men did not intend to take
any advantage of the technicality
Two members of the board of county
commissioners and other county Off
cials say nothing illegal was done.
Council Meets Again.
county council had no right to appro-
pirate the election money because at
the time more than $1,000 was passed
and the ordinance providing for the
appropriation was not read at two
meetings. County officials say that on
ly $500 of this sum was for the cleo
ton purposes and the additional was
reappropriation. At a regular meet.
ing last September this additional
sum was not used. and so at the spe-
cial meeting it was reappropriated. as
it had reverted to the treasury. How
ever. to avoid any possible technicality
the council will meet again and once
more pass upon the appropriations
It Would Have to Go.
County officials say the election
would have to go on. no matter
whether the county council had ap-
propriated one penny or not The
commissioners order the election and
the county council is compelled to vote
the money. The action of the council
has not been invalidated in any way.
1t has been claimed further that the
was invalid because a
successor to Henry f. Robinson had
not been elected as a member of the
board County officials say this phase
has absolutely no bearing at all on
the question and that every legal re-
quirement in Connection with the spe-
cial election has been complied with.
