Constitutionality of the statewide
local option law passed by the New
Jersey Legislature of last winter was
upheld in an opinion filed on Thurs
day in the Supreme Court by Justice
Parker. The same opinion sets aside
successful local option elections held in
Wall township, Monmouth county,
and Frelinghuysen township, Warren
county, and sustains the election held
in Blairstown township, Warren coun-
ty. The Wall and Frelinghuysen
township elections are set aside because
the procedure in calling the elections
did not conform to the local option
law requirements. No defect was
found in the Blairstown election, thus
it is sustained.
Validity of the local option act was
attacked on several grounds, among
them that the title was broader than
the body of the law; that it is a special
act regulating the internal affairs OF
towns and counties; that it confers un.
constitutional delegation of legislative
powers, and that it states no method
of ascertaining votes cast at the last
preceding general election as a basis
Of the petitions required to initiate q
local option election.

The Election

The election in this county was very
quiet and the Republicans had every
thing their own way. For the first
time in many years-possibly the first
time-the Democrats did not contest
the election of State Senator. The
question of small Board of Free
holders had not been urged very much,
but there seemed to have been voters
who had been doing some thinking, as
the proposition was carried by nearly
1900 majority. In five places the sub
iect of local option created great inter-
est. Burlington and Florence voted to
continue hotels. Mount Holly, Pal
myra and Marlton went dry.
In Mount Holly the Republicans
won all contested offices.
The principal interest was centered
on the liquor question, and both sides
conducted an active campaign. The
drys won by 81 majority.
The result of the local election is
given below:

The Local Ontion Decisinn

HC LOCdl opium OCClSl0H
Not much surprise was expressed
when it was found that Mount Holly
had voted in favor of doing away with
the liquor trade. And there would not
have been much surprise if the result
had been the other way. Both sides of
the question were freely and openly
discussed and those interested canvas
ed the town thoroughly. At the close
of the polls it was predicted that There
would not be over so majority either
way, and the figuring was pretty neat
ly correct, as the dry" majority was
81. Under the law the hotels will
cease to exist on the fifth day of De-
cember, as that will be thirty DAYS
after the election, the limit fixed by
the statute.
While the vote has been cast against
the liquor trade it is not likely those
affected will allow the question to be
settled without an effort to ascertain
whether some change can be made in
the decision. The soldier vote is to be
canvassed and it may make a differ
ence. The idea Of contesting the law
because of its being unconstitutional
must be abandoned, as the courts have
decided that it is all right. Unless
something not now in sight happens,
the hotels in Mount Holly, Palmyra
and Marlton will close on the date
mentioned SO far as the sale of liquor
is concerned. Whether they will be
continued as boarding or rooming
houses has not yet been determined.
The liquor men of this town are said
to be preparing to contest the recent
election on local option. One of the
grounds that will be presented will be
the question whether the soldiers were
allowed to vote on the subject. One of
the men at Camp Dix has been report
ed as saying he could not cast his vote
on the proposition but he told us
Thursday that he was able to vote and
that he voted "wet. Other soldiers,
it is claimed, received ballots which
did not contain the wet and dry ques-
ton. There are other irregularities
charged, which will be presented in
the contest.
