Ground for Reversal on Theory That

Ing Good Character.

Des Moines, Nov 16.-The Waterloo
saloon case in supreme court, on a
motion for rehearing has been ad'
vanced and the time set for oral argu-
ment next Tuesday if the parties wish
to orally argue the case to the court.
The main ground for the reversal is
on the theory that the court went too
far in requiring the good moral charac-
ter of the men who solicited the con-
sent names on the petitions, and that
the coure erred in affirming the rejec-
ton of certain poll lists as not proper.
~ certified to as the genuine and
original. AS for the evidence of good
moral character it will be held out that
President Taft settled that matter by
pardon Of the men after their convic.
ton for various offenses and after the
pardon the question Of moral character
should not be raised.
