Drys Contest.

A contest has been instituted on
the recent license election in Glen
wood. The Starbuck Times thus de-
scribes the grounds of the contest:-
According to the state law, city
of the fourth class shall vote on the
license question at any Irregular city
election" whenever ten per cent of
the legal voters petition for a vote
on the question. 1t also provides
that the question cannot be taken up
at special election and that no spe-
cial election can be called to vote on
the liquor question. The vote must
be taken at regular city election.
"The Glenwood charter provides
for two regular city elections. The
first one is held in March. This is a
primary election at which candidates
for office are nominated, as we under
stand it, the two receiving the great
est number of votes for any office be-
ing nominated. Then in April comes
viz 6ShOAoA SACStIOuS W OSGluS Ue"
tween the two candidates nominated at
the primaries. But the charter also
provides that if there is only one set
of candidates at the primary election,
there will be no general election.
This year there was only one set of
candidates at the primaries and they
were therefore declared elected and
there should have been no further
elections. But an election was ad-
vertised and held at the time of the
general election in order to vote on
the saloon issue This made the sa-
loon election special election. On
that question alone, no officers being
voted on at that election. This now
is contested as being illegal. The
vote on the license question should
have been held in March to have been
legal this year, as we understand it.
We simply give this the best way we
understand it. without any reference
to how the court may decide The
way we have put it is the contention
of the "dry" forces as far as we
know"

explanations, which suggested that the
Mondayish feeling was survival from
school days. The man with the Monday
feeling admitted he had that slack feel

that as the years had passed Monday
had become to him just washing day.
This is how he described the week:
Monday, washing day; Tuesday, iron

Thursday, early closing day; Friday,
tidying up day; Saturday, shopping
day, and Sunday the day of rest. The
