the said ;"th day of November, 1912,
and has made an abstract of the

That there are now indictments
pending In the circuit court for Doug
las county, Oregon, for the unlawful
sale of Intoxicating liquor, which
sales were made within .the corpor
ate limits of the city of Glendale, anil
the setting aside of the order of pro
hibition heretofore made, would el-d-d
the prosecution of said cause.
1 That Glendale precinct was voted
dry in an election heretofore held
under the terms of the prohibition
law when the county of Douglas was
submitted as a whole, nt which elec
Uon tho sale of Intoxicating liquor
was prohibited In said precinct un-
! iter the terms of the local option
liquor law of ..ie state of Oregon
within the whole of said Douglas
county, Oregon, after the qualified
voters of said county and state had
at an election, towit: an election
held on the 8th day of November, A.
D. 1010, determined that the sale of
Intoxicating liquor for beverage pur
poses should be prohibited within
Douglas county, Oregon, as a whole,
and thereafter the county court of
Douglas county, Oregon, declared the
result of said election and made an
order on the 2lith day of November,
littO, absolutely prohibiting the sale
of Intoxicating liquor .for heverage
pur)ses within the entire limits of
said Douglas county.
I That the prosecuting attorney Is
I filing this formal objection for the
I reason that he believes that the Is
suance of a license to sell Intoxicating
liquors by the incorporated city of
Glendale would be no defense to a
criminal prosecution for the unlaw
ful sale .of .intpxcating liquors, and
criminal prosecutions would be mul
tiplied. .......
