wine Hundred is prominently mentioned
while Sheriff Theodore w. Francis OF
Wilmington and Willard S. Gregg Of

James A. Hlrons, Of Dover, is a likely

Friends OF Deputy Attorney General
Percy Warren Green are urging him for

candidate for attorney.
The Republican State Committee at

recommended that the President Of the

OHIO "DRYS" Win
FIRST COURT fight
Stand Tha. Prohibition
Should Have Two. Thirds
Majority Defeated
JUDGE ORDERS
CASE DISMISSED

CINCINNATI, Jan. 6.-Prohlbitlon
forces gained a victory in the United
States District Court here on Saturday,
when Judge Holllster handed down an
opinion dlsmissing a suit TO enjoin
Governor Cox. OF Ohio, from presenting
TO the coming meeting OF the Ohio
Legislature the proposed national
prohibition amendment.
Judge Hollster, in a lengthy opinion,
not only dismissed the Injunction suit
but stated that IL was his opinion that
the chief point made by the plaintiff,
Albert G.. Erkenbecker, a real estate
man, that the proposed amendment
should have received two-thirds OF the
total membership OF both houses OF
Congress instead Of two-thlrds Of the
members voting, was not good logic. In
this respect the court said -
"Since the body Is the house and
majority OF a quorum transact the
business OF the house, In passing a bill,
so two-thirds Of a quorum passes a
regulation proposing an amendment. So
10 seems TO this court.
III the trainers Of the Constitution
had intended by use Of the word
house a different meaning from It's
universal meaning, when applied TO the
ordinary business Of enacting laws, II
would seem that they would not have
left such an important matter TO con-
lecture and inference and would have
said twO-thirds OF the membership OF
the body rather than 'two-thirds Of
the house,
In his opinion ruling on the iniunc-
tlon suit Judge Hollster said that he
could see no reason why this matter
could not have been decided after ratif-
cation Of the proposed amendment as
well as before ratification, he saw no
reason why an injunction against Gov
ernor Cox should be granted, inaumuch
as the plaintiff would not be injured by
the act Of the Governor in submitting
the amendment.
The suit attracted national attention
when flled, for the reason that It aimed
at the very basis OF the proposed dry
amendment TO the United States COnsti-
tuition. Erkenbrecker in his suit de-
clared that the amendment was invalid
because II had not been adopted by
a two-thirds vote Of the entire mem
Dership Of the two national houses. In
stead, IL was pointed out, only two
thirds OF the voting members approved !
The amendment.
Governor Cox was made the defend !
ant In the case because Il was he who !
would have to submit the amendment |
10 the Ohio General Assembly. II the |
OF the suit had been upheld |
lnally It would have proved STUN |
bling black to national prohibition. |
Counsel for Erkenbrecker announced !
after Judge HOLSTERS opinion that the
case would be taken TO a higher court. |
