Prohibition election contest ruled by Judge Harris in Coweta
In Newnan Ga on March 13 Judge Harris sustained a demurrer to the protest petition in the Prohibition election contest. The decision held that any eligible man in a county may vote in such a race even with minimal liquor sales, and that listing a man's name by county registrars is conclusive of voting rights. The ruling left unresolved the petition’s signatures and manager eligibility. Proceedings halted for missing witness testimony and moved to criminal docket once evidence is heard.
