Ja result of the discovery that the
constitutional amendment prohibiting
the issuance of such a charter,
which ex-Governor Joseph M. Brown
asked the people to vote against in
the election last Tuesday, was never
passed by the Legislature and there
fore was not submitted to the people
in that election.
Such an amendment passed the
Senate in 1915 and was read thre
times in the house, but in the con
fusion surrounding the sine adjourn
ment, which was forced by the pro
hibitionists in order to necessitate
an extra session, it never reached a
vote in that body.
It will, however, be reintroduced in
the Legislature at the 1917 term,-in
the opinion of members of the
House and Senate, ax will be one
of the most important questions of
the term. It will raise again the is
sue of the proposed sale of the West

issue the two leading members of
the House, who are candidates for
speaker, will sharply divide. Repre
