A bit Of special interest was lent to
the; weeks political events by the an
nouncement that late Friday after
noon the state supreme court had
placed its approval upon the constitu-
tional amendments voted upon in No
yember, some Of which had failed to
carry majority Of what some have
termed "all the votes cast at the cleo
tom. e., including both those which
were and were not cast upon each of
those particular subjects. For the
purposes of legislation 1t had been as
sumed by the majority of the lawmak-
ers that the amendments were legally
passed, each Of them having shown a
majority Of votes cast upon 1t as an
individual proposition. Attorney Gen.
eral LANCER had given it as his opinion
that the amendments were legally
passed, and following recent Satur-
day night letter to the newspapers by
Associate Justice Robinson. in which
the amendments were approved, 1t had
been practically a foregone conclusion
