There •has been considerable con- fusion this year about the proper date for holding the =valuations. Some legal lights said Friday, while others just as prominent contended Monday alone was legal. 'Twas a ease of choose one and you may wish you had selected the other. FIowever, Clinton, Hullett and God-% • erich township decided for Friday, • `-`' but Stanley held to Monday. • The nominations in Clinton were lively, more so than for many years, even though the heretofore always present Mr. W. C. Searle was on this ()melon abet. The oratory, too, was more extensive than usual, but so far as the mayoralty candidates were concerned it was a trifle too personal. They went at it hanimer and tongs. t • Mayor Hoover was the first speak- er. He said in part •,; Mr, Jackson will ndt support a measure I do not intend to assist in elforcing. I do • not 'believe there. are a dozen men in this audience whn will vote for Local Option and will make the first move to enforce the act, I opposed the first petition because it did liot contain the names of our' business men and those who put most money into circulation, and supported the second petition because it . was so signed.
