DRY" LAW IS ATTACKED
North Carolina "Antis Say Recent
Election Was IIIseaI.

ASHEVILLE, n. c.. June S.-Anti-pro-
hibitionists have attacked the legality Of
the Prohibition law. adopted two weeks
age by the voters OF the State in the
special election provided for by the Stase
Legislature in special session.
1t is alleged that the passage Of the Pro-
h'bition law was effected IN a radical and
revolutionary manner; creates referen.
dunn and is In violation Of the present
form OF government. Grounds OF Illegally
alleged against the law are that tho ex.
ira session Of the Legislature had NO
power to legisiate on any subject except
railroad rates. and that the other sub
jects was not provided for in the Cover
nor's call whereas the Constitution pro-
v.des that the Governor shall specify
fcr what purpose he calls the Legislature
together.
n the Legislature cannot be controlled
In its action by the Governor. says the
antiprohibitionists the law is Illegal
ITS going into effect" says the bill OF
complaint. ''was made conditional on the
approval By voters OF North Carolina. and
that measure is not a legislative law. be-
cause the Legislature has no power to
delegate its powers and leave to another
the right to say whether measure shall
become law but IL It is law at all. II
must be construed as one passed directly
rs the people in the nature OF a referen-
cum. and the Constitution OF North Caro-
Ina makes no provision for this system of
lawmaking.
Judge Cooley is quoted TO the effect thai
no Legislature has the right to confer law
making power on a popular vote.

". SALISBURY FOR
ATT'Y-GENERAI.
Boom is Talked Of For Will
minetOn Lawyer for Place
on Democratic Ticket
GOSSIP ABOUT GOVERNOR

Among Democrats there is a report
of a movement for the nomination OF
Willard Salisbury of this city for at
torney- general. John NJ. Richardson
of Sussex county is a candidate fpc
tho nomination and Former Congress-
man Handy would not be averse to
the nomination, although II is said that
If Mr.. Richardson continues in the race
Mr.. Handy viii not be an aspirant
against him.
The mention Of the name Of Mr.
salisbury, however, Is likely TO conf
plicate the situation, although It is
said that Mr. Salisbury has not ex-
pressed himself upon the question.
Not for years. If ever, has Mr. Sauls-
bury been a direct candidate on a ticket
and this is one of the reasons urged by
those who are talking for his nomina-
tion. In fact Mr.. Salisbury has not
been active in politics of late and
has taken little part in political mat
ters. Mr.. Salisbury has not been de-
fnitely approached TO learn whether
he would consider the use of his naml
in connection with the office, but he
will be at no distant day.
Several years ago II is said Mr.
Salisbury would have accepted an ap-
pointment as special prosecuting at
torney 10 prosecute election cases.
The Democrats are also talking about
the nomination of a candidate for Cow
ernor. In this county there has beer
considerable gossip about Millard Il
Davis as a possible nominee Mr.
Davis's friends have been quite ac.
tive in his behalf. He has the support
Of Former Congressman Handy and Il
is conceded that Mr.. Davis made &
very favorable impression among tn,
down State Democrats with whom h,
came in contact during the convention
There is mention of the names Of VIII
liam Salisbury of Dover for Governor
and also Joseph Il. Holland of Milford
II is very likely that one or the othe
of these Kent county men will figurl
largely in the canvass for the nomina
tion for governor. At least that is thl
talk among Democrats who usual-
know what is going on.

CLAIM AGAINST
STREET DEPT.
Robert G. HarmaH Wants
$3.50 for Client Who Fell
Down Areaway

The Street and Sewer Directors, the
strict upholders of city ordinances
applying to city streets, were them
selves the victims of a city ordinance
this morning. Robert c. Harman, rep
.resenting Miss Mary T. Gallagher. man
ager of the Vassar Knitting Mills, Nos
405-507 East Thirteenth street made a
claim for $3.50 this morning before the
directors for expenses growing out of
injuries received by Miss Gallagher
last Christmas eve. when she fell down
an areaway before the street depart
ment building Sixth and King streets.
Mr.. Harman asserted that Miss Gallag-
her had been temporarily crippled and
made grievously III for six weeks as a
result of her injuries.
Her claim against the directors Is
based on an ordinance requiring that
areaways shall be enclosed by a rail
and that the gate shall be closed r.
this case, It is asserted, there was no
gate.
The matter was referred to the city
solicitor.
The claim again brought into promi
nence a subject that has been before
the directors occasionaly-the elimina-
tion of abutting door steps, areaways
and bay windows. The directors have
already passed an ordinance prohibiting
the construction Of such obstructiors,
but those that existed before the pas
sage of the ordinance have, of course
not been included under the measure
This morning Director Sparks suggest
ed tax on these distractions, but
Director Gray was emphatic in favor
of an ordinance requiring their removal
I'm just about ready to vote for
such an ordinance-and I wouldn't &c
to the seashore if it were passed, eth
