QUESTION RIGHT To
ENJOIN GOVERNOR
REST RAINING ORDER SECURED
BY HERMAN T. EkERN RAISES
IMPORTANT POINT.
JURISDICTION Is DISPUTED
Attorney n. L. Butler, Representing
State in Contest, Viii Claim That
Governors Official Acts Are Not
Subject to Judicial Review.

Madison.-PTobably one Of the
most important questions ever decid-
ed in this state is involved in the in
functional proceeding of Insurance
Commissioner Herman L. Ekern
against Francis z. McGovern, Will
lam l.. Essman and l.. A. Anderson.
The governor, superintendent of pub
lie property, and the appointee of
the governor for insurance commits
siOner are being sued as citizens in
the action. 1t is understood that II.
/. Butler, acting as special attorney
for the state in representing the de-
PENDANTS in the controversy. will
question the right of a state court to
enjOin the executive branch Of the
state government in the person of
the governor, and also whether the
governors official acts are subject to
review by such courts. which is a CO.
ordinate branch of the state govern
nent. The contention will be made,
it IS said, that with such right of
jurisdiction an official act of the
governor could be blocked and that
he would be stripped of all discre-
tionary powers. In rebuttal of these
arguments, it is said Ekern's attor-
neys will claim that the governor
must follow the statutes in any ac-
ton he takes, and that the laws pro-
vide for a fair and impartial hearing
for any public officer before he may
be removed from office.
