Following is the text of the

promised local option. |

to be the official bill which the j
majority of the house are pledg-j

not. i
The bill provides that upon a .
petition of 20 per cent of the j
legal voters as shown by the
vote for secretary of state at the
last preceding election, the coun
ty commissioners shall, w ithin
10 days after the petition is filed
call an election to be held be- ;
