Ruidoso Sunday liquor election blocked by judge
Dist. Judge W. T. Scoggin denied the mandamus to force a local option vote on Sunday liquor sales in Ruidoso. Elections on Sunday sales were authorized by a 1939 liquor control bill but vetoed in part by Gov. John E. Miles. Carl DeBord’s lawyers argued Miles exceeded his authority in vetoing that portion.
