Supreme Court Defeat For Local Option Remonstrance Power
The Supreme Court ruled that a blanket power of attorney allowing an attorney to sign voters names on liquor remonstrances is illegal. The decision held that voters cannot delegate decision making to an agent for local option issues. The ruling stems from a White county case involving Charles Cochell and others opposing licenses and affects Greencastle saloon prosecutions. Local anti liquor leaders vow to push legislation legalizing such powers despite the ruling. Neighborhood figures Morris Short and Tilghman Williams were noted in city visits and Christmas shopping.
