Advised Against Local Vote On Liquor In Chaves County
George L. Reese Jr. opined that a local option election on liquor on September 19 would have no effect and urged Chaves County commissioners to delay any vote until after that date. He argued Act 23 of the New Mexico constitution prohibits liquor sales until repealed and that Chapter 159 of 1933 is unconstitutional, leaving no authority for a local election. He warned an injunction would lack jurisdiction and noted potential enforcement confusion if the election were held void. If law is wrong, mandamus could compel a call after petition.
