Wilson this afternoon in a strong
plea to 1900 chamber OF commerce
members. His address was on "The

Mobilization OF resources was the

is sustained In decision handed
down at II o'clock this morning,
Six OF the judges concurred In tho
opinion written by Judge Parker.
while Judges Chadwick and Fuller
ton wrote separate opinions. arriving
at the same final result, however.
Judge Bausman. recently appointed

cipatc In the decision. because he was
not n member Of the bench when the
case was argued.
Concurring In the opinion written
by Judge Parker are Chief Justice

The Parker opinion is contained In

court would not take judicial notice
OF defective or insuiilclent publca-

the attorney general consented that
II should do no. II was cn this point

Judge Fnllerton's opinion stated
generally that he did not agree with

but there was no question about the
correctness OF the Anal conclusion.
The Parker opinion held that the
court must presume all the necessary
steps had been taken by the law
Officers In the way of giving election
notices and other publications; that
the prohibition law did not fail In
that respect. that the interstate COM

that though the initiative amendment
20 the constitution provided for laws
