should have been separated into two
petitions. one containing the Banies Of
the electors residing in the Village OF !.
Iron River aud the other containing
the names OF those residing without
the village but within the precinct.
Mr.. Dwyer cited several deci sions on
other subjects where the courts had
held the two parcels Of territory
distinct
MIR. Dixon followed and covered the
objections TO the petitions because OF
their rot having been compared. He
stated that the position of he ana
his associate was that the certified
copies of the poll lists filed on the
day of the last meeting constituted
part of the petition and that 1t was
the duty OF the board TO scrutinize
those petitions to determine if tae
names thereon are the names OF elect
ors as contemplated by the local option
Law.
Mr.. Dixon said thae he had Com
pared the lists with the poll lists and
had found on the petitions the names
Of 303 persons not on the poll lists
that under the law il was the electors
according TO the poll lists that
electors who didn't have interest
enough to go to the polls last fall and
east their ballots for state county and
federal officers ought not be allowed to
step in and cause the county and his
clients lot OF expense in tins in
stance.
Mr.. Lyon commenced the argm6nt
for the drys. He said tnat he would
canvass the objection OF MIR. Dryer
while his colleague. Mr.. Byers. would
take up the objection made by Mr..
Dixon. He pointed out that the
village OF Iron River was a part OF
Iron River township for all purposes
excepting the clearly local functions
for which IL had received local
charter; that the general elections
held included the electors in both the
village and the portion Of the town
ship outside of the village that this
question was not merely local one
upon which the portion residing
within the village voted but that il
was general one and on such occa-
sions the village and township we're
one
Mr.. Byers stated that he did not
admit that the copy OF the poll lists
were a part of the petition; that the
duties of the coGnty board were merely
ministerial and so the supervisors had
no option except TO examine the
afiidavits and the petitions and If they
appeared on their face TO comply with
the statute no other action could be
taken than the ordering OF an election.
Then followed considerable sparrins
between tho attorneys during WHICH
Mr.. Watlen insisted that Mr. Byers
produce some law TO Offset the claim
of Mr. Dryer and asked that the
board adjourn until 9 100 0 clock D. m.
to give Mr.. Byers time to look up
Eomething.
The board 70 assembled mt :0a
o clock and the committee reporteS
that they had examined the petitions
and recommended that the subject be
referred to the people for their deoisios.
The report was adopted and hs
necessary resolution adopted after
which the attorneys for the vets asked
to die objections with she
intent Of going into court, wAieh
request was granted.
