Supreme Court Confirms His Opinion
in Ballot Matter.
From Tuesdays Da.ly.
A dispatch was received today by
County Clerk John w. Fish from At
torney General Donovan stating tina,
the supreme court had sustained him
in his instructions to the county
clerks of the state relative to the
manner in which question of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment
should appear upon the official bal
lot.
The action was instituted at Helena
against the clerk of Lewis and
Clarke county, who was one of those
who followed the instructions of the
attorney general. The treasurer OF
the democratic state committee ap-
pealed to the supreme court for a writ
of mandate requiring the clerk to fol-
low the wording of the statute, which
simply provides that votes shall be
for or against ''the amendment rela-
tive to the rights of labor. The petit
toner held that the submission was
only n proposition, while the attor-
ney general held that two questions
were submitted and so instructed the
clerks.
This ruling will probably settle a
much mooted question, as there has
been a difference of opinion regard
ing it for a long time.
