JUNEAU, May Am order is
sued by Judge Jennings relative to
securing an expression on the liquor
license question has been errona-
ously reported in some quarters. The
real effect of the order is to give
every person qualified 20 express a

secretly, if they so desire. The
order provides for local option
election on Monday, May "a. If

license question shows the result TO
have been considerable of surprise

''wets' would carry by small
majority, but instead, out of 81 per-
sons interviewed but AZ voted wet
while 80 voted dry. The fact that
ten refused to express an opinion re-
suits in a failure of the vets to re-
ceive a majority. The enumerators,
J. P. Rockefeller and o.. A. Nelson
made very. careful canvas of the
town ell only enumerated the
actual r2s, dents who ware entitled
to expr--5 an opinion. The floaters
and tt Sc passing through town
were not considered, as might have
been the case if others had been in
charge of the poll.
