Washington Liquor Dealers
Attack Measure and Also
the Initiative Laws

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 1.-Arguments
will be heard ct Olympia this after.
noon by Judge C. Il. Claypool, of the
Thurston county superior court, to de.
termine the validity of the prohibition
law initiated by the people and adopt.
ed November 8. A suit has been filed
by M. and X. Gottstein, wholesale IL
quor dealers of Seattle, to contest the
law. Judge Claypool yesterday, upon
filing Of the complaint, granted the
request for restraining order to pre-
vent Secretary of State Howell from
certifying the result Of the vote on
the prohibition measure.
The restraining order also prohibits
Governor Lister from issuing the pro.
clamation declaring the measure law
Of the state. 1t is also directed
against Attorney General Tanner and
Prosecuting Attorney o'Leary Of
Thurston county to prevent them from
interfering with any existing liquor
laws.
Tuesday afternoon arguments viii be
heard on the question of making the
restraining order permanent.
The prohibition law is attacked on
two main grounds:
First, that all initiative measures are
invalid, and second, that the prohibi.
tion law itself is defective.
Besides this attack on the prohibi.
ton law, which the supreme court viii
have to decide ultimately, an effort
will ke made to have the next legisla
ture re.submit the question ut special
election to be held in 1915. The law
as initiated, is to 60. into effect Jan
