G. w Morrow, superintendent OF
the Michigan Antl-Saioon league, was
advised, Tuesday morning, that there
was an irregularity in connection with
the vote in the first precinct OF the
Second ward, OF Battle Creek, on
Monday, and that the district may
be eliminated from the election, thus
causing the elimination of sufficient
wet" votes TO keep Calhoun county
on the dry side. The vets redeem
ed the county by about 20, and the
loss OF the Battle Creek precinct
would mean victory for the "drys'
by about 25 majority, according to
Mr.. Morrow.
Former Prosecutor Stewart, OF Cal
houn county, chairman OF the dry
forces in Battle Creek, is investigat-
ing the reported irregularity and ne
has been assured OF all the moral and
financial support he needs TO make
q thorough inquiry into the matter
The alleged irregularity brought TO
the attention OF the league was the
failure of a voting machine to regis
ter the vote on the local option ques-
ton after a certain number, about
100, had voted.
'"If we can prove that the machine
didn't register all the votes said MT.
Morrow to The Times. there Is ey-
cry reason TO believe that the whoe
vote of the precinct Will be thrown
out, thus giving us victory In Ca
houn county. We shall spare no ex-
pense nor legal talent to give the mat.
ter every attention, in the hope o.
holding Calhoun county"
Mr.. Morrow, while somewhat dis
appointed In the results of Mondays
voting. felt that the local option pee
pie had no reason TO feel blue
As a matter OF fact" said Mr.. Nor
row, I'm reviewing the situation, our
net loss was but one county we
held eight OF the IL dry counties
which voted and carried two of the
seven wet counties submitted. we
are not so sure, either, that Jackson
has been lost 10 us. Our chairman
there told US, Monday night, that
we had carried Jackson by AZ, whilc
the vets claimed majority OF so.
There is no chance OF recount, as
the law doesn't provide for such q
procedure on abstract principles, such
as local option However, We shall
have a thorough canvass made of the
situation in Jackson county before
giving up"
Asked II he believed that the loss
OF such counties as Jackson, Calhoun
and Genesee, indicated that the pro-
posed system of smaller unit, such
as submitting a township at time Is
favored, instead OF a whole county as
now, Mr.. Morrow replied in the ga
tive. He admitted that there might
be some advantage In the smaller unit
plan, but he preferred the present
county system.
do you think that the showing OF
Monday indicates that the time Is
not yet opportune for statewide leg
islation for local option?" Mr.. Morrow
was further asked.
Yes. think that the result Of Mon
days voting shows us that the people
OF the state are not yet ready for
statewide legislation" Mr.. Morrow
answered. 1T is quite apparent that
