COMPOSING THE BUNCO.
Bar Association President Says That Real
Referendum, Such as Republican Platform
Promised Would Make Local Option Law


VOID
President John Young of the State
Bar association. devoted his annual
address Tuesday to the subject of the
Referendum. declaring that such a
referendum as the Republican plat
form promised and Gen. Mccullough 5
message explicitly recommended lis
overwhelmingly condemned by the de-
cisons of the courts of last resort in
this country that it cannot be exer-
cised ''by the fundamental theory of a
representative government" such as
ours is made "by the express provis-
ion of the Constitution of this state, :"
under which the supreme legislative
powers as the Constitution reads j
cannot be delegated'' back to the
people. And Mr.. Young. after care
fully reviewing the subject and the au-
thorities. asserted that any law sub
iected to such referendum would be
void -
There is nothing particularly new in
this to readers of the Reformer. for it
is only what Mr.. Davenport POINTED
out and explained and illustrated and
fortified with abundant authorities
from this and other states. in two
SlgneG articles IN these columns last
summer. And at the very hour Mr..
Young was telling it to the lawyers.
Davenport was again pounding it out
before the TEMPERANCE committee of the
legislature.
Not only he but Messrs. Molonev and
Nav in their able speeches about the
county. explained it all fully and can
didly. And Ex-Senators Edmunds and
Ross in writing. as we'll as Judge
Wheeler in conversation. have all con
firmed their position, as is now done
in this highest official utterance Of the
LAWYERS Of the state.
But the interesting fact is that the
Republican stump speakers. who did
NOT ignore or dodge, one and all stood
up last summer and solemnly declared
that il was all democratic lie" and
that such a referendum would be all
right.
You all remember those posters from
the Republican committee. headed,
over garbled quotations. the Demo
cratic Somersault" and asserting that
such referendum had been held by
our Supreme court to be constitu-
tional." Then thev complained of i'm

night before election when the Demo
cratic committee retorted by enuuiring

James Campbell and William Reed, his
cashier, to appear in court and bring two
checks aggregating $4,000, dated Nov. IS,

local politician, and explain the purpose
for which the checks were drawn. II was
found on investigation by the grand jury
that both checks had been cashed and re-
turned to Broker Campbell. The date of
these checks was the same as the day on
which the ten-year lighting bill passed the
House of Delegates, for which nineteen
members are said to have received s., 500

deputy sheriffs were unable to serve the
