Arkansas Supreme Court
The following decision was handed
down in the supreme court at Little
Rock on the 18th:
By Chief Justice Cockrell: George Wright,
Of Phillips county, vs. VIM NJ. Fishback, gov
ernor.
Wright applied to the Pulaski chancery court
for an injunction to prevent the issuance Of q
proclamation declaring amendment No. 2
adopted. The court denied the application,
and application was made to the supreme court
to advance the cause on the docket of that
court, on the ground that public interest de-
manded an immediate settlement OF the case.
The chief justice said:
The cause ought not to be advanced unless
the legality OF amendment No. to the consti-
tuition is legitimately involved in the litiga-
ion. That depends on the following consider
