Saloons.

Heavy voting marked the local op-

day. Three saloons in Welkerton, the
principal city in the township, are in
danger of being wiped out if the town
ship goes dry.
Interest was rife in the election and
early this morning the vets were
claiming a victory. The dryS have
not yet conceded defeat. and were eP-
timistic over the final outcome. In a
straw ballot taken early in the week,
a majority was claimed by the wet
forces.
Predictions however, have been
made by supporters of both sides, and
the election is acknowledged by the
contending forces to be close.
The election date was set by the
county commissioners in compliance
with a petition filed two weeks ago
by Stephan GrOmmon and others.
There was no formal objection made
TO the election then.
