The County Option bill, as passed
by the State Legislature, is not thor
oughly understood by many persons.
The measure provides that when rs
per cent Of the voters in county
petition for an election, the county
auditor shall, not later than fifty days,
nor sooner than 40 days, call special
election to vote on the license ques-
ton. If the "wets" win, towns can
exercise local option, but if the "drys"
win, the entire county goes "dry'', and
the issue cannot come up again for
three years, whichever way the elec-
ton goes. The measure also provides
that a period of six months shall
elapse before saloons can be abol-
lshed after county votes "dry." AS
matter of fact, if the "drys'' win
any other counties, the saloons will
not be abolished for many months,
perhaps not before January list.
