MAD|SONIS ANOTHER
TOWN WET IN THEORY
BUT DRY AS YANkTON
Close Vote on Granting Saloon
License Furnishes Basis
of Litigation.

Madison, S. D., Feb. 2s.--Yankton

the only wet" city in the state which
Is without saloons under a decision of
the state supreme court, for Madison.
under a decision rendered by that court.
Is declared to be a wet" town. but
notwithstanding this there are no sa-
looms here and it is expected the tenn
perance element will resist efforts to
grant licenses under the decision of the
supreme court.
The supreme court decision was rem
dered in a case arising from the vote
taken In this city last year on the sa-
loon license question. OF the votes
cast on the license question, 400 were
for license, 400 against, one ballot was
blank and 16 ballots were improperly
marked. The drys commended that the
vets had lost the election because
license had not received a majority of
the votes cast on the proposition, they
claiming the Is improperly marked
ballots had been cast on the PROPOSE
ton n should be taken into consid-
GRAFTON.
Judge Jones, of the state circuit
court, after a hearing, look this view.
and held that the improperly marked
ballots were q part of the vote and
that the "wets" had lost the election.
The VETS appealed the case to the
state supreme court, which now has re-
versed the decision of Judge Jones,
holding that improperly marked ballots
are worthless and should not be
counted. 1t is expected the "drys" will
take further steps to prevent saloon
licenses being issued as authorized by
the decision of the supreme court.

COUNTY SEAT DECISION
HAS BEEN MISCONSTRUED

Pierre. S. D.. Feb. 26.--The recent de-
casion of the supreme court in the
gregory county seat case has been
mlsconstrued The point involved was
not the constitutionality Of the county
seat elimination act, but whether in q
county organized since the adoption
OF the constitution the question Of tho
location of the county seat can be sub
mitted oftener than once in four years.
The question in Gregory county hav-
ing been submitted in 1912, the court
no!ds 1t cannot again be submitted un-
til 1916.
incidentally Judge Whiting suggest
90 that the referendum law Of 1911
could not stand and his has been the
subject of much discussion among law
yers, many of whom are strongly Of
the opinion that an act approved by
the people at a referendum election is
constitutional per Sc. Other lawyers
point out a marked distinction between
an act originating in the legislature
and afterward approved by the people
and n initiated by the people and
later approved by them, and many Of
the best lawyers in the state contend
that such initiated INC referred acts
cannot be abrogated by the courts for
unconstltut1onality, nor can they be
amended by the legislature.
