CONTEST CITY ELECTION
Glenwood Drys Have Served Notice
of Trouble -AHege Recent Elec-
ton Was Illegal.

Notice of appeal to the District
court from the returns of the canvas
ing board of the recent license cleo
ton was filed Saturday with the Clerk
of the District Court. Copies of the
notice were also served on the City Of
ficials, says the Glenwood Herald. The
appellants are George l.. Briggs and
S. C. Nelson, and their attorneys are
C. j. Gunderson and Constant Larson,
of Alexandria.
The recent license election was held
under the Norton law passed at the
last session of the legislature. This
law provides that the license question
shall be submitted at the general city
election. The Glenwood city charter
provides for two elections in the years
when officers are to be elected. The
first is. designated by the charter as
a primary election, but the charter al
so provides that this election becomes
final when set of candidates receives
a majority of the votes cast. This
year the successful candidates for
office were elected at the first cleo
ton. The contention of the appel
lants is that the result automatically
did away with the second election and
that therefore the license issue was
submitted at a special election.
A present writing no time has been
set by Judge Flaherty for hearing in
this matter, but it is expected that a
special term of court will be set within
a few days in order to dispose of the
case as quickly as possible.
