The dispensary question was the
only one on which the vote was can-

Governor Haskell states that the ef-
fect which this proclamation would
have on the position of state agency

"That is a matter which the courts
will have to settle" said the governor.
"There are some duties in connection.
ith the office get out in article 2
which nas not repealed and that
leaves the mitter still in doubt. The.
governor is not vested with judicial
powers and I'm glad of it. My procla-
mation is concerned wholly with arti-
cle 1."

tions had really been canvassed by
