BRISTOL "DRYS" ASK THAT
ELECTION BE SET ASIDE

Bristol. Va, July 1.-THE petition OF
the temperance advocates asking that
the local option election of July be
set aside was filed today in the Cor
poration Court. 1t alleges that there
were ITO illegal votes cast for licens-
ing the sale of liquor and asks that
the result be changed to show dry
majority.
1t charges: That the poll taxes of
lot persons who voted wet were not
paid out of their own funds as required
by law; that 103 persons voted wet
who either resided in Tennessee or
outside the corporate limits and were
not eligible to vote; that number OF
persons voted who had been convicted
of crime and thus were disqualified.
The petition concludes with the usual
prayer and asks that the votes ille-
Eally cast be eliminated. This would
leave a substantial dry majority. The
names are specified in all cases, in
GLIDING those whom it is charged had
their poll taxes paid by others.
