Mr. John M Cannon of the local bar. who is net ing attorney for the county dlsponsar* board In the proceedings to secure ail Injunction against tue managers of the November election, stated thai the Construction placed by this cones pondeiit on one point of the petition upon which Judge Pope's oicler was secured was not a point that would be held or contended by the county board; "but." said he, "if it takes Ihm to win we will use it." The point in question is the ap parent discrepancy between the con stltutlon of I89i*i and the Acl of Logli lattire Of 1896. Mr. Cannon Mtnted that the point raised in the petition was to lay the foundation of the- sub sequent clauses; that the general election In November would not be af fected because by the re-registration beginning in July of this year, tin very act of re-enrolling qualified all such for electorship this fall. "Whih there Im u fauM in the Act or the Leg islature," sa;'! Mr. Cannon, 'it has 1 been r< thedlod by the new registration lielice Hi" question of validity of the election in November is not affected." Mr. Cannon stated that the petition Bubuiitted lo tin supervisor did not | contain Blgm rs lo iho number of one fourth of On qualified voters In the : county; thni it lacked two names, not oven striking on those names that sip- j pea red more tbaq once in the several j petitions presented. This statement is in contradiction of the notice of election publlslied by Supervisor Hum bert, which Kays: "Upon a canvass of the .aid petition I have found that It , does contain the signatures of more than one-fourth ol the qualified elec tors of said county." Furth) r In the conversation Mr.('tin- ' lion slated tl nl he had been criticised for bringing thh action and for ap pearing liehall of the dispensary.' and added that he was contending for a l'-gnl eb lion; thai "if they were go- J lug to In ! : election let it he in ac cordance with tile law on the subject."
