! little more than two years, will have
another local option election this sum-
mer to determine the question whether
saloons shall be licensed, provided the
"wets'' are able to get sufficient num-
| Der of signatures to a petition ordering
| an election They held a meeting pri-
vately few nights ago. and a commit
tee was appointed to sound the people
1t is said that number of lawyers and
other professional men were recently
approached and asked to indorse the Pc
tition, but they declined. 1t is expected,
| however, that a sufficient number of
signatures will be obtained in order to
call an election. Both sides appear to be
organizing for a heated campaign.
