The Michigan Supreme Court Declares the Local Option Law Unconstitutional.

Lansing, Mich., May 18.--The supreme court has unanimously declared the local option law unconstitutional. The ground upon which this decision is reached is that the law is a direct violation of article 4 section 20 of the constitution, although other points are touched upon incidentally. The article of the constitution violated provides that no law shall embrace more than one object, which shall be embodied in its title. The local option law is entitled, "An act to regulate the manufacture and sale of liquor," which is not at all what the law is for.
