The tickets to be voted at the coming election, under the local option law are prescribed by law. Those who believe in prohibition will vote a ticket with the following words written or printed upon it: "Against the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor." Those who favor the present $500 tax law or oppose prohibition will vote a ticket bearing the words, "For the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor." The tickets will be furnished by the county clerk and will be found at every polling place.

If, at the coming election, prohibition carries, the law which will then be in force is contained in section 2 of the local option law add is as follows:

 SECTION 2. That from and after the first Monday in May next after such special election, it is hereby declared unlawful to manufacture, sell, give away or furnish malt, brewed, fermented, vinous or intoxicating liquors of any kind, or in any quantity, or liquors any part of which is malt, brewed, fermented, vinous or intoxicating or to keep tor sale, or keep a place where such liquors are manufactured or kept for sale, given away or furnished within the limits of any county in which a majority of the votes cast at the election next preceding, upon the question prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors as provided in section one of this act, have been cast against the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, except where done by a druggist who is or who employs a registered pharmacist strictly in compliance with the laws for the regulation of druggists.
