LEGALITY or LOCAL OPTION
ELECTION TO BE TESTED.
est. Louis Republlc)

est. Louis Republie)
Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. ID.
Legality Of the recent local option
election in Mexico wal attacked in
the Supreme Court in banc this after
noon.
George Robertson and J. P. Me-
Baine of that city, attorneys for
William Kemper, filed a mandamus
proceeding to compel the County
Court of Audrain County to issue him
a dramshop license.
A writ r~eturnable on the first Mon
day in December was issued on the
application. 1t will be heard on It's
merits at the January call of the
banc docket.
Several interesting points are in
VOWED, the most important OF which
is whether the application of the ref
erendum to an act of the Legislature
suspends the operation of the act
pending the vote of the people on
the same.}
Robertson and McBaine contend
that the county unit bill enacted by
the last Legislature repealed the old
local option law and that the county
unit law is in force, for the reason
that the Secretary of State has not
yet counted the names on the petit
tons invoking the referendum on
the law.
The Mexico election was called UNI
der the old law, and they contend
that this could not be legally done.
They argue that, the Secretary OF
State not having made the proper
preliminary determination as to the
petitions on the County Unit law,
the law under which the Mexico cleo
tion was ordered stands annulled and
the election is therefore void.
All the official construction hereto
fore placed upon the referendum is
that it Immediately suspends oper
alton Of a law upon which it Is in
voked. Attorney General Barker SC
ruled and this is the view taken by
all Of the State officers.
Secretary Of State Roach says
that, while he has made no officia.
announcement as to the legal suffi-
cheney of the petitions tieing NJ
the county unit law. no is satisfied
that here is several times more thar
the required numbered signatures and
the petitions are in legal form.
Under the law he is not required
to make any announcement regard
ing them, but to simply place then
upon the official ballot if their re
quirements T met.
This is the first time that the Su
prone Court has been called upon tC
pass upon the referendum on an!
point, and the decision in this cast
will settle definitely whether OF
not the application of 1t suspends
the operation of the law,

ing more serious than a severe cold
contracted while on a hunting trip in
the northern part of the state.

lily worse. He Is growing weaker and

favorable circumstances he hardly
thinks the great Rube will ever be
able to pitch another game. Rube
himself is not optimistic and says that
he rs going to try his best. but fears
that he is up against it.
