behind the journal as he claims there
was not legal journal to go behind.
The case grew out of suit to col
lect salary for services rendered.
This case was filed in the chancery
court at Nashville, and Gen. Thomp-
son as attorney general of the state,
was called on defend the comptroller
and the state, Judge John A. Pitts,
attorney for the anti-saloon league, is
associated with Gen. Thompson, rep
resenting private individuals. Judge
Pitts, it will be remembered, recently
gave out an interview here in which
he stated that he considered the cleo
ton law more important to his fac
ton and those he represented than
the law enforcement bills.
The bill as filed by members of the
election commission sets out in de-
tail the course of the bill after its in
PRODUCTION, its first, passage, veto by
the governor, passage over the COVER
nors veto, the election Of the commits
sioners named in the bill, the action
of the house in passing the measure
again over the veto when a quorum
was restored the latter part of June
to pass the refunding bills, the action
of the general assembly later in again
electing the commissioners, and gives
parts of the house journal &C an ex-
hibit to show these acts.
The answer filed by Gen. Thomp-
sondetails these same circumstances,
and gives brief history of the cleo
ton laws and efforts to amend htem
for the past few years. He takes up
the bill which was pending in 1909
when thirteen democrats went to
Hopkinsville for esven days filibus-
ter to prevent its passage, the bill
Of 1911 when another filibuster was
resorted to and the fusionists "hegi-
raed" to Alabama, and again in 1915
when the bill had been vetoed and
the fusionists ran away to Middles-
bore.
He holds that when these thirty
five left there was no quorum present
and that the journal as kept shows
by the messages of the governor that
these thirty-five were absent and
therefore no quorum present. He
then holds that since there was less
than a quorum present no business
could be transacted more than for the
members to meet and adjourn from
day to day and that no legal journal
could be kept, or that anything on the
alleged journal tending to show any
thing done more than to meet and ad-
journ was illegal and void.
This is a osmewhat new feature in
legislative entanglements since it
has been the usual method to attack
the constitutionality of bill and then
attempt to go behind the journal.
Gen. Thompson takes the position
that there S no journal to go be-
hind. The answer of the state will
be officially filed today or tomorrow
and the case set for trial. In this
case it was hoped to get the bill in it's
complete form before the supreme
court.
Another bill is now pending before
the supreme court from Davidson
county attacking the bill. In this bill
Chancellor Allison upheld the bill and
this case will come up at the Deem
Der term of the supreme court
