Attorney General Illinois Holds
Dunne Can’t Take Office
During Deadlock.
i ■■■■ ■
Springfield, III., Jan. 18.--The
attorney general of the state has
rendered an opinion to , the ef
fect that Governor Dunne and
other state officers cannot qualify
and assume the reins of govern
ment until the speakership dead
lock is broken. There appears to
tie no immediate likelihood of I lie
deadlock being broken.
Prominent lawyers express I In
opinion that the position assum
ed by tin* attorney general is
wrong, pointing out that should
the deadlock continue indefinite
ly, Governor Deneon and his-ad
ministration would" continue in
power, thus thwarting the will ol
the people. They further bold
that the organization of the house
can have no bearing on the gov
ernorship. It is generally conced
ed that polities is being given
more thought than the will of Un
people.
