Question is Highlight of
the County's Contests.

citizens went to the polls Tuesday
and exercised their constitutional
right of choosing officials to serve
them in public capacity. The cleo
ton was, generally, for the purpose
of choosing presidents of the various
village councils, councilmen and other
officials. However, in Sandstone the
question of the municipality owned
liquor store was brought before the
voters. Last year, it will be remem-
bered, the people of that village au-
thorized the village to establish a
liquor store by the small margin of
