The Illinois Supreme Court will hear a test case from Randolph County challenging the local option act's constitutionality. Brewers associations contend the measure is invalid for multiple reasons including mislabeling, interstate commerce violations, and unequal treatment of dram shop operators after a Coulterville saloonkeeper was fined for violating the law. The case follows Coulterville’s dry vote and a $60 fine against John W. McBride as a test of enforceability.
