Thc letter says that the election can un ordered, according to Mr. Dominick'.* construction, of the Idw. Some time ago a petition was pre sented Supervisor Mack King, pray ing th?' sn'' election be lield in tills county to determine whether or not liquor should he sold herc. W! thc petition HUH presented Mr. Hint; :..?ked Clerk Acker to look up the law on the sqqjcAt.und then. Mr. Acker round tj?at the code of 1012 contained Hie words "shall continue the sale of liquor."
