In an opinion comprising 1-1 typewritten pages handed down in the circuit court by Presiding Judge George at 2 o'clock this afternoon, tho application of Henry Weinhard to restrain County Judge Webster and other ollicials from holding a prohibition election Novem ber 7, in accordance with the provisions of the local option law, was denied. Taking up the point of unconstitu tionality of tho law, Judge George de clares that he is not prepared to say that it is invalid. On the leading point ofdelegation of power by the legisla ture to the county court he uses the following language: "The local option act does not ap pear to be a delegation of power to make an act, but simply a delegation of power to determine a state of things upon which the law intended to make its own action depend." In this regard he expresses the opin ion that the county court is intended merely to announce that the luw has gone into effect if the vote in favor of prohibition carries. It is asserted by the court that pre santation of the act to the governor after the people had voted in favor t.f it was unnecessary, the veto power ex tending only to such bills as have passed the legislative assembly. "The Hat of the people is supreme,'1 he declares. The governor is stated lo have no authority to reverse the will ol tbe people; otherwise the initiative law would r js-.css no merit. Kelathe to the initiative and ref erendum act itself being unconstitu tional, Judge George's opinion is terse. He says tbat the state supreme court has recently held otherwise, and that the circuit court is bound by the de cision of the higher tribunal. The court holds that the political sub division of tho county in the case of two or more precincts joining together in a vote would be easily determinable. In conclusion Judge George uses tbe following language: "One reason for refusing to issue a restraining ordor is this: The order asked for is to restrain an election. The court seriously doubts tho power of a court of equity, in the absence of any statutory authority, ti enjoin an elec tion! by lie people. Courts have always refuse d to enjoin elections unless the facts showing such action bhould be taken are very clear." if the election should beheld under a void law, ho adds, the only result would be a slight expense, and other remedies would still exist.
