An effort to have the County Court
of st. Francois County order a local
option election has brought on con-
siderable Of a "war." The following
from Sundays st. Louis Globe Demo-
GRAFT tells a part of the story: "After
hearing arguments yesterday in the
st. Francois County wet and dry
fight, the st. Louis Court of Appeals
continued the matter until Tuesday.
The question to be decided is whether
Elvins, Mo-, shall be included in a
local option to be held in St. Francois
Couny. Towns of more than 2500per-
sons are entitled to vote separately
and the vets of st. Francois County
claim Elvins shall not be included in
the election, because, according to
the 1913 census, it has more than $500
population. The drys are question
ing the census. The drys appealed to
the County Court Of st. Francois
County to investigate the census. The
vets applied to the Circuit Court in
Pennington for a writ of prohibition
to prevent the county court investi-
cation. Circuit Judge Huck ruled
Friday he could not interfere. The
vets then sent Attorney B. H. Boyer
to st. Louis in an automobile to apply
to the st. Louis Court of Appeals for
the writ. There was no train to St.
and the drys' representatives follow
ed in another machine to head Of the
vets. The vets won the race to st.
Louis because the dry machine blew
out a tire, but Boyer On his arrival
found the Court of Appeals had ad-
journed for the day. The distance
covered by automobile was ninety
miles. Arguments against granting
the writ were made by O. M. Hay, a
st. Louis attorney"
