Makes a Clean Cut Start for All. General Satisfaction Expressed on Every Side.
The second count of ballots voted in the Lyon-Taylor contest on the handsome 40 horse power automobile and other prizes has been made, and it shows that
interest has been general and activity in vote getting has increased. After earnest deliberation over the question of county business being voted in this con
test, it has been decided to gfve to each candidate '230,000 votes, which is the amount of the county's business already oted, and in the future no county busi
ness can be voted unless by an agreement of all members of the county court and then the votes must hz deposited by a member of the court only.- The same
rule will apply to city business and a resolution of the council must be passed empowering some member of the council to cast the votes as directed by ike
resolution. This overcomes any possible objectiou, a nd in all probability neither the county nor city will cast any votes.
