VETS VS.. THE DRYs.
Former Want to Head off the OPP
GRAFTON of the Unit Law.

II is now on between the vets y
and the "drys" in Mexico. The
vets have circulated petitions out
over the county asking for a yo;n
on local option outside of Mexico
Tuesday they presented their case
before the County Court.
The "drys' maintain that the
call for AN election is not in good
faith. that il is only an effort 10
head off the operation of the Unit
Law in the county for four years,
which charge the vets admit.
The Unit Law does not go into eff
| feet till June %, and if this elec-
ton is called before that date the
Unit Law cannot be operative for
four years and that would insure
saloons in Mexico for at least that
length of time.
Il. s. Cant and j. S. Gatson rep

County Court Tuesday and f. A.
Shannon and S. ID. Stocks plead
the cause of the drys. The court
