provides; but the provision is fair,
one, nevertheless :: :: :: .. . '~,'*
During the last campaign there was
more or less misrepresentation by some
Of those opposed to the measure, both
as to the meaning Of county option, as
we'll as the operation Of the same,
should it become a law. Some were
led to believe that even before the
legislature met Morrison county would
be "dry'' if a representative favoring
county option, was elected. The coun-
ty option bill is now law and Morri-
son county is still "wet,' and will re-
main so until the voters Of the county
deem it best to make it otherwise.
The manner in which the law oper-
ates, is as follows:
When a petition, singed by 25 per
cent Of the voters of county, based
on the number cast for governor at
the last election, is presented to the
county auditor asking for a special
election, the auditor is required to is
sue an order for the election. It must
take place on Tuesday, not less than
forty or more than fifty days after
the fling Of the petition. The usual
machinery is provided for the election,
and both "wets' and "drys'' are to
be represented on the election board
in each precinct. The ballots will
read:
"Shall the sale of liquor be prohib-
ited?' with blanks for marking
eyes, or "No.' If majority votes
"yes,' then the county goes "dry."
No more saloon licenses may be issued,
and every saloon in the county must
close up within six months.
If the county votes "wet' then the
present local option law remains in
force and each city or village may IL
cense saloons or not, as it pleases. In
either case, the question may not be
submitted again in that county for
IA1Ct years..
1t is likely that the counties of Kan
abec, Anoka and Clay will be among
the first to vote on county option.
