semblaRes are outlined In an opinion
given to Governor J. A. A. Burnquist
today by Attorney General Lyndon
A. Smith, following an appeal to the
governor by heads Of the NOnpar-
tisan league against efforts To pre-
vent league meetings in certain To-
calities.
II is the duty Of sheriffs TO pre-
ment unlawful assemblies, the at
torney general holds, and III ad-
dresses are seditious or calculated 20
inJuriously affect the public welfare,
the meetings must be considered
unlawful.
Legitimate meetings, however,
must not be interrupted, the attor-
ney general says, and IL Is the duty
OF peace officers to protect them
from interruption. Legitimate exer-
else Of free speech, he holds, is not
disturbance of the peace. The bur
den of proof that the proposed meet
ing Is unlawful is held to be on the
person who questions such right of
assembly.
The statute against unlawful as
sembly is quoted and the sheriff's
duties toward it's enforcement are
outlined. The sheriff is required TO
prevent any unlawful act or peace
disturbance. il is explained, and also
to prevent interference with the
holding of a meeting the purpose Of
which is lawful He must decide the
question after obtaining all possible
information.
II may add that any meeting, the
tendency Of which is TO create or
promote disloyalty TO the United
States I'm time Of war should not be
tolerated" concludes the opinion.
