sue in the injunction proceedings in
augurated yesterday to secure a new

give a candidate n right 20 be sole
nominee" by filing an answer in
which he held that his construction

The Inebriate Law-Deputy At
| torney General largest to-day rem
dered an opinion to DIR. II. w. Mitch
ell, superintendent of the State In
sane Hospital at Warren, that a COM
mitment from Dauphin county of q
person as an inebriate was 'im-
providently made" The opinion was
given in a case wherein n man ad-
dicted to drugs was committed by the
court to the Warren State Hospital
as an inebriate. The opinion says that
| the Warren istitution is not one fol
! inebriates but for the insane and that
I the commitment did not require Sc
/ curity to he given to the trustees Oh
payment for care and treatment. II
1 is further held that the act for COM
mittment of inebriates does not au-
thorize such commitment at the
expense of the county. Owing to the
! fact that the State Institution for In
ebriates has not yet been built the
question arose as to whether sucE
persons could be committed as in
| ebriates to a state hospital.
