MADISON, Wis., May 28.- J. C. Fretman, of the state university, sent to the Michigan state supreme court a letter worded about as f ollows : " Your decisión as to the unconstitutionality oL the local option law wlll have the same effect on the country as the Dred Scott decisión did on abolition, and wül make thousands of voters for the third party. As a plain man I do not belie ve in legal twistings and untwistings." The letter was written on state university library paper and signed "J. C. Freeman, secretary." ït was returned to the goveruor and by him referred to the board of regents. It is likely to cause Mr. Preeman considerable trouble, as it is taken by the court as an authoritative document from the university.
