FOR VICE-PRESIDENCY
In iin exhaustive nnd lengthy npin
ion in which ho went into decisions
lit length, discussed text books and
tun statutes of tho static Circuit Judge
H. K. llniina Friday morning innde per--nuuient
t ho temporary injunction grunt
ed last week in the ease of J. C. Hall
vs. (i. W. Dunn. restraining the county
court from declaring prohibition in ef
fect in Jackson county on account of
the provision of tin Medford city char
tor, which the e urt hold nullified the
local option law in Mod ford.
Sweeping Victory for Wets.
Judge Hantin's decision is a sweeping
victory fir the wets, not only in M"d
fold, hnt throughout the county. The
provisions of the local option law re
quire that the county court declare the re
suit of a county election within a cer
tain period. Inasmuch as this court is
permanently restrained front tins dec
laration, nil those pri'i'incts in the coun
ty which vot I'd wet will he wet. and
those that voted dry will ho dry. The
injunction virtually nullifies county
prohibition, hut leaves precinct prohibi
tion in effect, nold FT ill and Jackson
ville Will therefore be wet HH well as
Modford; and Ashkind. Central Point,
Woodville, Eagle Point, Phoenix. Tal
ent nnd other dry precincts will remain
il ry.
Appeal Is Taken.
Judge Hunnn overruled n demurrer
filed by Special Attorney V. M. Colvig
for the prohibitionists, nnd notice of
appeal to the supreme court was filed.
A crowded court room heard the deci
sion, which will, oral and hd hour or
more in length.
Med ford 's charter, mid or which the
action was brought, reads as follow:
"The city council shall have power
and authority within the city limits of
Med ford to license, tax, reflate or pro
hibit barrooms, drinking shops, billiard
rooms, bowling alloys, dance hnlls, and
all places whore Bpiritous, mnlt or vin
ous liquors are Bold or kept for sale, ir
respective of any general law of tin
state on this subject enacted by the
I gishti ure or by the people at large."
Charter Is Sustained.
Prnet ienlly nil the contentions raised
by the plaintiff's attorneys were sus
tained by the court, who tided that Mcd
ford 's charter superseded the loenl op
tion law in Mod lord, as it was passed
by the legislature after the loenl option
law, expressly to modify it. The eonsti
tutioimt amendment adopted in lOOb
was discussed exhaustively as was the
initiative and referendum net.
The decision was a calm nnd dispas
sionate discussion of the low.
The wets were represented by Attor
ney Robert O. Smith and Judge E. E.
Kelly. The drys by the district attor
