Especial to The Times DiSpatch.l
Lynchburg. Va, December 1.-THE
petition of tho Lynchburg Anti-Saloon
League, contcsting tho result OF the
local option election held here Decem-
Der Q, when the city voted wet by a
majority of eighty-fve. was hled late
to-day In the Corporation Court, the
attorneys for the petitioners being
George l.. Cask!e and Thomas White.
head, OF Lynchburg. and Judge a. A
Phlegar, of Bristol.
The petition covers seven typewriter
pages Of legal cap, going into the cleo
ton at great length.
The first allegation made is that
Thomas j. O'Brien. United states COM
missioner and "A. b Percy. United
states Jury commissioner, who were
judges at different precincts. were dis
qualified as election officials by reason
OF their Federal positions. The petit
ton holds that the eighty-four major
ity. for the .wets" in these precincts
should be thrown out.
The second count attacks the validity
of tho registration of 1910 voters be-
cause nearly all OF these new voters
were not required to make written
application for registration. This calls
in question the vote of 3ss persons.
The petition also Expresses the belief
that practically the entire registration
here since 1904 has been Illegal be-
cause of the failure of the registrars
to certify their registration to the
Corporation Court which, 1t is claimed
has not been done for four years. It also
alleges that three persons voted who
were not registered and that III voted
in precincts which they did not reside
in.
The issue Will be made up shortly,
but 1t is announced that the case will
not be heard before the February term.
This means, even IL the petition is de-
MED, that the saloons cannot reopen
bofore March ut the earliest.
