ly Contested.

The court room at Ithaca was well
filed Monday with citizens from all
parts of the county, all deeply interested
in the Mandamus case, brought by
Messrs. Stone & Watson on behalf
of those who signed the petition request
ing a re-submission of the local option
question VS.. the Board of Supervisors of
the county.
The case was called by Judge Kelly
s. Searl at nine O'Clock Monday morn
ing Attorneys Stone q Watson ap-
peared for the petitioners and Prosecut-
ing Attorney Everden and Attorney o.
@. Tuttle for the board of Supervisors,
AT the opening of the case the attorneys
for the petitioners made a motion 30
correct two affidavits, one from Elba
township and one from Ithaca based
upon an error made by the notary pub
lie in swearing the atfiant by writing in
the wrong month and year. Judge
Searl said he would act upon the motion
in deciding the main case.
In securing the petitions the amount
was based upon the vote of state treas.
urer the total being 6756. In their an
swer the attorneys for the board claimed
that an error was made in the statement
that this was the highest vote cast.
Quite an argument over the question
and the complete returns of the board
of canvassers was offered and admitted
as evidence.
The argument continued during the
day and was hotly contested by the
attorneys interested. At 2:3O the case
rested and Judge Searl announced that
he would render an opinion Tuesday
morning. That Judge Searl went care
fully into every detail in the case is
shown by the opinion rendered which

and emphasized the fact that Mr.. Kerr

Mr. Kerr called attention to the
fight which is being waged between

tons in the Republican ranks, and
placed himself on record as being
progressively anxious to secure the
enactment of legislation which is de-
sired by the progressive faction, and
opposed to the leadership OF Speaker

stated that the progressive" or IN
